Sens Nation Podcast: Tim Stützle Hits A Whole New Level

The Senators are back home to face Utah after a five-game road trip, bouncing back from their Anaheim disaster with a 2-1 win in Buffalo. 

Tim Stützle is playing some of the best hockey of his NHL career, and he's quickly establishing himself as one of the league's most dangerous offensive players. The Senators' young star has climbed into the NHL's top 10 in scoring, providing plenty of reasons for optimism as the club returns home from its five-game road trip.

And how about Samuel Ersson? After a rocky start to his Senators career, the Swedish netminder has suddenly put together two straight victories, allowing just two goals. Did everyone give up on him a little too quickly? We'll see how he fares in Saturdays start versus Utah.

Meanwhile, Linus Ullmark's injury situation remains a question mark. The veteran goalie was a full participant in Friday's practice, but his status remains uncertain after requiring further evaluation.

The guys also discuss Ridly Greig's injury status, the latest lineup changes, and what lies ahead as the Senators prepare to host the Utah Mammoth.

Elsewhere around the hockey world, former Senators goalie James Reimer's brief stint with the New York Rangers has ended after one period, while Prescott native Ben Hutton has landed another NHL opportunity.

Plus, what's going on with Canada's incredibly generic jerseys at the Women's World Championship? And the controversial ruling that could pave the way for Russia's return to international hockey competition.

All that and plenty more on Sens Nation, The Hockey News' official Senators Podcast, with Steve Warne and Gregg Kennedy.
