Wild update: The Wild have scored at least three goals in all six games this season and 28 of their past 30 regular-season contests dating back to 2021-22. C Joel Eriksson Ek had a pair of goals in the 3-1 win at Montreal on Tuesday, the seventh multi-goal game of his career. LW Brandon Duhaime is on his first career goal streak after scoring in back-to-back games. Duhaime is also tied for the team lead in hits with 15. D Jake Middleton has a point in four games so far.
Senators update: Ottawa is on a four-game win streak, outscoring the opposition 22-11. LW Brady Tkachuk has four goals and five assists during a four-game point streak. C Shane Pinto has scored at least one goal in five consecutive games. The Wild won't face their former goaltender Cam Talbot; he's sidelined with an upper-body injury. In Talbot's absence, the Senators have relied on Anton Forsberg and Magnus Hellberg.
The Wild scored two goals late in the third period to tie the score against the Flames, completing a 2-0-1 road trip even though Kirill Kaprizov didn’t dress.
