Ottawa at Minnesota

Minnesota has won 11 of the past 13 meetings although Ottawa did win the only one this season, a 2-1 shootout victory on Nov. 18. The Senators have won an unexpected five in a row after defeating Winnipeg 3-2 on Saturday, but they still have the third-worst record in the Eastern Conference. Minnesota has had two days to think about a tough 2-1 overtime loss to Vegas, which put the Wild's playoff hopes in jeopardy. They can't afford any more losses the rest of the season to have a chance. The Wild have been pulling their goalie in overtime on occasion to secure an extra point in the standings by getting an outright win. Ottawa is 18-41 its past 59 games against the Central Division and it has lost 22 of 35 road games this season. Joonas Korpisalo will be in net for Ottawa and Marc-Andre Fleury for Minnesota. Take the Wild as a Max Play.
