Tim Stützle scores in overtime as Senators beat Red Wings 5-4 in Stockholm
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Tim Stützle scored 4:58 into overtime and the Ottawa Senators beat the Detroit Red Wings 5-4 on Thursday in the opening game of the NHL’s Global Series in Sweden.
Stützle batted the puck out of the air off a crossing pass from Drake Batherson that hit the stick of Detroit defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere and beat goalie James Reimer just before the horn sounded.
Ottawa earned the victory after squandering a four-goal lead. Brady Tkachuk had two goals — both set up by Stützle — and Josh Norris added a goal and an assist. Jake Sanderson also scored, and Joonas Korpisalo made 37 saves.
Gostisbehere had a goal and an assist, and Alex DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond and David Perron added goals for Detroit. Reimer stopped 29 shots.
