Germany shares bad news regarding Tim Stutzle's status
The German men's national team announced on Sunday that forward Tim Stutzle is out for the remainder of the 2022 IIHF World Hockey Championship with a knee injury.
Note: the following is translated from Germany.
"Tim was lucky in misfortune. He suffered a knee injury that will heal quickly and completely. After consultation with our med. Department and Ottawa, we still decided to take him out of the tournament," Germany's Sport Director Christian Kunast said.
He added, "Tim would not be spared by the opponent in the upcoming games and his health is the top priority. It is therefore logical and consistent to take this precautionary measure."

In his three appearances at the World Championship, Stutzle had two assists and four penalty minutes. While Germany is confirmed to advance to the playoff round, losing a player of Stutzle's calibre is massive.
The 20-year-old took to Instagram following the news that he would not play again in the tournament.
"Unfortunately not the ending I was hoping for...Thank you for the support and all the recovery wishes ❤️Good luck and success to the boys!!! THANK YOU GERMANY," Stutzle said.
Künast weiter: "Tim würde in den anstehenden Spielen vom Gegner nicht geschont werden und seine Gesundheit steht an erster Stelle. Es ist somit folgerichtig und konsequent, diese Vorsichtsmaßnahme zu treffen.» #EishockeyWM #IIHFWorlds #DEB— Deutscher Eishockey-Bund (@deb_teams) May 22, 2022
