The Minnesota Wild just cannot have any normal win this season, as they have a rollercoaster of an overtime win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night.
Here’s four things we can take away from that.
1 — Oof, the power play.
Even though the Wild technically had a goal on the power play, it still looks just so damn terrible. The top unit of Kirill Kaprizov, Kevin Fiala, Joel Eriksson Ek, Frederick Gaudreau, and Jared Spurgeon; was just completely unable to enter into the zone cleanly. Whether it was an pass that was not even six feet near any teammate, or the Sens loading up the blue line with all four penalty killers standing tall and pressing high on the line that evaded any simple set-up for Minnesota, the Wild just looked useless with the man advantage.
