The play occurred in Sunday night's contest between the two teams. After a faceoff, Faksa and Stützle were tangled up fighting for position. Faksa would then slash Stützle with a lot of force. The latter left the ice in clear pain, but thankfully, the results from his X-ray showed that he is fine. He is expected to play for Ottawa in their next game against the San Jose Sharks Thursday night.
