Individual matchups, like Quinton Byfield vs. Tim Stützle and Cam Talbot vs. Joonas Korpisalo, will be undeniable in Thursday’s game against the Senators.
Ottawa’s Tim Stutzle, left, skates against the Kings’ Tobias Bjornfot on Nov. 27, 2021, in Los Angeles. The Kings landed in Canada’s capital, which has also been an epicenter of criss-crossing destinies between the men in black and silver and their opponents Thursday, the Ottawa Senators.. The Sens have been off since they defeated Pittsburgh, 5-2, on Saturday, but much of the attention in this upcoming showdown will likely be attracted by individual matchups.
The man taken directly behind Byfield in the 2020 draft was Ottawa forward Tim Stützle, who has long since blown past the point of looking for encouraging signs when it comes to his scoring ability. He turned in a 90-point campaign last season, the most ever for a German-trained player not named Leon Draisaitl, and leads Ottawa in scoring again this year.
To this point, Korpisalo’s numbers have been pedestrian, similar to the ones he posted last year on a porous Columbus club prior to a trade that plunked him right into the Kings’ cage for their ephemeral postseason. On the blue line, the Kings had long been linked to defenseman Jakob Chychrun, who had played his career in Arizona until the most recent trade deadline approached. The Kings eventually pivoted away from those discussions and toward a successful negotiation that netted them a rental of Korpisalo and defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov.
