The Minnesota Wild fell 2-1 in a shootout to the Ottawa Senators to start their two Sweden Games this weekend. The Wild grabbed a 1-0 lead on Marco Rossi’s sixth goal of the season, but Ottawa was able to rally to tie in the third period. After a frenzy of turnovers in OT, Josh Norris tallied the lone shootout goal to give Ottawa the win. Filip Gustavsson stopped 30 of 31 shots for the Wild in net. The Wild were perfect on the Penalty Kill at 4 for 4, but they failed to score on the Power Play and struggled to generate quality chances in the 3rd and overtime. The Wild will play Toronto tomorrow at 7am.

Man, that shootout. Just an continuation of the one where Fleury went out of his way trying to save them. Nothing remotely approaching going in the net. Kaprizov looks like an imposter. Did that hit last year derail his career??
There are only 2 teams in the league with less wins than your MN Wild.
This team needs an infusion of a player that doesn’t hesitate to shoot the damn puck. Beckman needs to come up and play w Rossi and Boldy. Merrill and needs to go play Hunt. Who will Freddy Evason replace. How about Dewar or Duhaime they are doing zip
At least we played a better 60 minute defense game. It’s a step in the right direction. Gus looked solid, Rossi looks strong. Wild management please break up KK and ZU. Let’s beat Tor.!
In one of your most recent episodes, you touched on how this might just be how it is for the rest of the season, maybe even heading into the 2025/26 season until the salary cap lifts. I sure hope it isn't this way for the next 2 years, however today showed a lot of improvement in the defense, yet again, offense struggles to make plays and find the net. Rossi and Faber by far our two best players, which says a lot about the rest of the squad at the moment.
Go wild!
Congratulations on hitting the big 1000 by the way, Seth.
I dont see us making .500 this year
Whats worse the 14M cap hits or the 16M in money going to boldy and kaprizov that isnt producing. You have 30M not doing anything. Thats going to hurt.
The biggest question, and the most important question, what's up
With Kaprizov? There has to be more going on , than anybody knows
