The Minnesota Wild headed into yet another afternoon game against a team north of the border as they faced the 15-21-5 Ottawa Senators. The Wild had previously beat the Winnipeg Jets and most recently the Toronto Maple Leafs in afternoon games against Canadian teams and won both games.
It seems to be the formula for success for the Wild as they have now won the past three games in Canada having an afternoon game start. The Wild defeated the Ottawa Senators 4-3 on the road at the Canadian Tire Centre with big contributions from the Zach Parise, Charlie Coyle, and Luke Kunin line.
