Wild update: The Wild have tabbed G Filip Gustavsson to start in net. He's on a five-game win streak that's the best of his career and tied for the second-longest run in the NHL this season. Gustavsson was acquired in an offseason trade with Ottawa that sent G Cam Talbot to the Senators. RW Mats Zuccarello is on a nine-game point streak, which is one game shy of his career high. LW Kirill Kaprizov has an 11-game point streak at Xcel Energy Center.
Senators update: Ottawa was in action on Saturday afternoon, winning in Detroit 6-3. The Senators capitalized three times on the power play and scored shorthanded twice. Overall, they've won four in a row and are 6-6-2 on the road. RW Drake Batherson has five goals in his past six games. LW Alex DeBrincat has assisted on three goals in each of his past two outings.
The star forward came back from a brief injury absence, and two goals from Frederick Gaudreau helped Minnesota to another road victory.
