Wild win in OT

(St. Paul, MN/Minnesota News Network) — Wild winger Marcus Johansson was awarded a goal at 3:38 of overtime to lift Minnesota to a 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

Kaprizov and Zeev Buium also scored for Minnesota as the Wild have won two straight for the first time this season and end up .500 on their six game homestand at 2-2-2. Filip Gustavsson made 32 saves in the win. The Wild are in Carolina at 6 P-M tomorrow night and then will visit the Islanders on Friday.
