Kaprizov's first goal gives Wild OT win against Senators

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Kirill Kaprizov scored his first goal of the season at 2:02 of overtime to give the Minnesota Wild a 5-4 win against the Ottawa Senators at Xcel Energy Center on Tuesday.

Kaprizov converted a one-timer off a pass from Kevin Fiala on a 2-on-1.
"I think he said to [assistant Bob Woods] or [assistant Brett McLean] after the game it feels like his first goal ever," Wild coach Dean Evason said. "He's pretty excited, obviously. It's one thing for him to be excited, but to see his teammates, that's exciting for us."
Marcus Foligno scored twice, and Cam Talbot made 24 saves for Minnesota (6-3-0), which had lost two in a row.
Drake Batherson had a goal and an assist, and Filip Gustavsson made 38 saves for Ottawa (3-5-1), which was coming off a 5-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday and is 1-4-1 in its past six games.
"Our top guys worked. They gave everything they had with travel," Senators coach D.J. Smith said. "We blocked a lot of shots (20), did a lot of good things."
Foligno gave the Wild a 1-0 lead at 3:57 of the first period, and Calen Addison scored his first NHL goal 27 seconds later to make it 2-0 when his shot deflected off Senators defenseman Michael Del Zotto and fluttered over Gustavsson.
"At the end of the day, they don't ask how and quite honestly, I don't care either," Addison said. "That was something I'll never forget for sure. It's kind of crazy that on Hockey Fights Cancer, my grandpa passed away seven years ago to the day today, and to get my first goal on that night is pretty special. That one's for him for sure."

Nicholas Paul made it 2-1 at 10:48 of the first, redirecting a centering pass from Connor Brown.
Nico Sturm pushed the lead to 3-1 at 13:35, getting to a loose puck at left post while on one knee after being shoved down by Nikita Zaitsev on a centering attempt from Dmitry Kulikov.
"Down 3-1, you could sit back and feel bad for yourselves," Del Zotto said. "We showed a lot of resiliency and character."
Batherson cut it to 3-2 at 2:12 of the second period, scoring from the right circle after Del Zotto's centering pass for Brady Tkachuk failed to connect. Evason challenged the play for a missed game stoppage, but the call was upheld after a video review, resulting in a penalty for delay of game.
On the ensuing power play, Josh Norris tied it 3-3 at 3:23 with a one-timer five-hole on Talbot.
Chris Tierney then gave Ottawa a 4-3 lead at 7:38 when the rebound of Tyler Ennis' shot deflected in off his left shoulder. The officials initially waved off the goal, but the call was reversed after a video review determined the puck entered the net in a legal fashion.
"We don't give up in here, and our mentality in the locker room is to keep working, keep working," Tierney said. "It doesn't matter what the score is, we're going to play the same way, and if we play that way, we're going to come back in a lot of games."
Foligno tied it 4-4 at 10:10 of the second with a one-timer off a cross-slot pass from Matt Dumba on the power play.
"It's just nice to see us fight back," Foligno said. "That's the mentality of the group this year. We don't stop. It's good to have that for sure. But we want to win games by two goals, three goals and have that feeling where we have a lead and can shut it down."
