Every playoff series needs a huckleberry, and St. Louis Blues forward Steve Ott is an intriguing character whose antics have spilled more ink than blood.
"He's out there to have you guys talk about him, and it's working, I guess," Wild defenseman Ryan Suter mused Tuesday.
There was Ott running Wild defenseman Marco Scandella at the end of Game 3 and tackling Jared Spurgeon with Minnesota about to seal a 3-0 Game 3 victory, drawing his second garbage-time 10-minute misconduct of the series.
One shift he dragged his stick through the Wild bench like he was trying to knock down a stretch of dominoes.
