Coach John Torchetti knows blowing a late lead and settling for one point certainly won't help the Minnesota Wild's playoff pursuit.
At least their situation isn't nearly as dire as that of the fading New Jersey Devils.
Minnesota finishes a three-game trip looking to hand New Jersey a fourth consecutive home loss Thursday night.
The Wild (32-27-11) entered Tuesday's matchup with Ottawa having won three straight on the road and were seconds away from earning a critical two points. The Senators, though, scored with 7.1 seconds remaining in regulation to tie it and struck again with 30.
