Stutzle injured his knee during the IIHF World Championship. The injury is similar to the one he suffered during the 2021-22 season. Stutzle should be able to have a normal summer of training before training camp in the fall. 

Stutzle sustained a sprained knee at the tournament and he would like to continue to play, but it's believed that Ottawa will err on the side of caution. The typical timetable for a return from an injury of this nature is at least two weeks. 

Stutzle suffered the injury on Monday. He was able to leave the game on his own power, but he'll still need to be re-evaluated. Until that happens, his availability for the rest of the tournament is uncertain. Germany's next game is on Thursday.

Stutzle really came on this season, his second in the NHL, as he had 22 goals and 58 points this season. He was especially good in his last 28 games where he had 10 goals and 29 points. He is a star in the making and deserves to go in rounds 5-7 next season as it could be a breakout year as a 21-year-old.
