NHL Highlights | Senators vs. Wild – December 13, 2025

Wallstead was beaten that day by the Canucks. Allowed four goals on 21 shots. That snapped a personal sevengame win streak. Gorge with it. Back to the line. Jensen his shot deflects over the top of the goal. Bather threw it out front. It was loose in the blue paint for a moment. Pon had one whack at it. Bather comes out of the corner with it into the slot. What a shot and it was deflected before it was steered aside by Volstead. Bouncing puck at center. Pitlick had it briefly. Now it’s controlled by Stutsa. Drops to Kachchuck. Back to Stutzler. A shot and a save by Volstead. Back to Bather down low to Spence. He centers and a shot by Cousins is deflected up and out of play by Volstead. Senators with a couple good looks here in the first half of the first period against Minnesota rookie goalender from the slot and we remain even 0. They’re out here to open the period against Stutsa’s line for Ottawa. Damon Hunt back into his own zone. Erikson and Jared Spurgeon would fall into that category. Players that the goals against just under two for the Senators. Sturm out to Spurgeon. His shot deflected and they score. Tyler Pitlick with his first point of the year and Minnesota’s on the board first. Well, you go to the front of the net. We were talking about Ericson being a nuisance and the puck finds away five on Carolina. It starts with a faceoff draw. Sturm a guy you count on to win draws. The 50/50 battle off the draw goes in wins that battle. Spurgeon does a great job of just getting that puck towards the net. Beating that first guy. You see Greg gets out there and tries blocking it. As long as that puck gets by that top guy, you have a chance chance and makes it to Bitlick who just gets a heel of stick on a redirect exit in between Maryland’s pads and puts a Wild up one- nothing. hopefully gives that bench some life. Now loose in the circle. Eurovv comes up with a puck for Minnesota. Got it out to Spurgeon. A shot. Save. Carolina rebound was loose. You win the face off. You get up to the point and you know talk about Spurgeon having the ability to get the puck to the net. You win that puck battle gets up top immediately thinking puck to the net. You got you’re outnumbered at the net. Depris works free centered. Hartman got a stick on it and a save by Carolina. Capriov throws one on goal. Another save by Marilyn Bosian plays it to himself off the end of the net. Capriov on the rebound Kubel off the post. He’s on his backand and who likes to take the shot and then the puck gets in front of that. There’s Zack Winsky. Maybe still include Victor Hedman. Zetterland with a shot and a glove saved by Volstead. You talk about Zetland, a guy that loves to shoot and he’s got a great great one-time. Gets himself into an area right between the hash marks. Wstead scans, takes a second look. Knows where that shot coming coming from. Knows in the NHL. Stutz got it in front. Daru a shot and a save by Volstead. Drew starts with a good stick and they had pressure up ice but what a pick up by Drew up in his feet into the corner. Johansson Johansson out for Eurovv but it hit a skate on the way so it was off target. Now Johansson centers they score. Ryan Hartman on the redirect of the Johansson feed. Minnesota on the power play extends the lead. Oh, hard is making a difference. All shift in front of that net and knows what to do and goes to the front of the net. He, you know, he knows he’s not going to score from there, but he takes he takes an Ottawa defenseman and force him to make a decision. Now there’s a little miscommunication in front up for a split second. Jensen loses Hartman out to the backside and doesn’t make any mistake. But how he engages with the defense then there’s a little confusion. He slips with some open ice and gets himself to a good area. Here comes Yakob trend in and a skate save by Marilyn. The penalty kill climbing. It’s at 19th coming in. Patterson sends down low. Kachchuck with a shot. Save. Ball stat and the rebound knocked away by Faber. Cousins ends up stick breaking. But you look at you look at the opportunity and Brady Chuck is so good at this right away. Attack the net. Goal line presence. You get a guy that big and strong. A lot of times you’re not trying to score on that initial shot. He steps out and it’s a little pad play off. Wall says pad and then follows up the rebound. Puck goes back off. Stutzler saucers it up high for Dylan Cousins. Sanderson moves in. Fires save and a whistle and the puck was still loose. Kachchuck likes the throws that gave Wallstead the benefit of the doubt on that play. He ends up shoving favor onto him. But you see they’re moving around the outside. Sanderson elects to rip it. Walt does get his glove down on that puck. Gets the gets the call, gets the whistle, but it was indeed still a little bit free on that whack by to Chuck and Pachuk centers in the skates of Bather. Sanderson plays across. Scoot goes back to Bather now to Sanderson. Bather walks to the slot. Feeds Cousins a shot. Glove save. Ballstead. Rebound. They score. Stutzler just after the twoman advantage expires beats Falstead on the rebound and Ottawa cuts the Minnesota lead in half. Rebound kicks out right under the tape of Stutza who makes a diving effort and Boston just goes to open up and stretch and thinking that Stutzel wants to go upstairs with that puck and I think Favor Stick gets involved and that puck ends up staying on the ice and going fivehole stroan out to Capri off. Now we’re going to have a fight. Greg and Hartman have dropped the gloves as the horn sounds to end the period. Hartman gets the first couple jabs in in this fight. You could sense the boiling point rising here as this period progressed and it results in Hartman and Greg dropping the gloves here late in the period. Hartman who absorbed a couple hits now delivers a couple late in this fight. Boy, this is a good battle. Hartman with a couple good lefts against Greg who wants more after Hartman falls to the ice. Uh yeah, I don’t think Grant knew that. Hart Hartman had had the ability to throw a lap. So there should be some excitement here in the third. Stutza will draw against Erikson to get it going. Wild trying to extend Kachchuck came out and open the conversation up with Kobe for that opening face off. Kachchuck or Capri rather springs you’re off and a save by Marilyn. Europe makes himself available and finds an open lane, but it’s a great heads up play out of the zone onto the tape. Eurov comes in tries getting five on Marion and who does a great job leading with the stick as a goalie had backs it off. Certainly have not waned at all here early in the third period. Kachchuck to Cousins and he scores. And the crowd lets the officials know what they think of the power play opportunity for Ottawa to begin with as Capriov was whistled for perhaps the softest slash in the NHL this year. Cousins ends up getting a pass from Tak Wide shoots a blocker side. Looks like Bathson slipped into the backside post and ends up hitting a ship pad and goes in. You talk about that call and Capri battling. We’ve seen him react this way when he hasn’t gotten a call in the past. Eurovv on the back end. Logos wraps it off the boards. Bouncing puck at center. Pon battling with Baldi and they score. Ericson from a sharp angle along the wall. Pete Smith with 22 seconds to go. What a play just to jump and growl that puck so that they weren’t going to call a hand pass on that play. Recollects it himself. has the ability to see Eric Sak in the far corner of the ice and what a shot and Carolina I don’t think ever saw Erikson over there he gets up and takes a second look and almost like what are you doing over there Erikson finds himself wide open way way away from the crease but Johansson makes that play knocks it down with his glove off the drawing to the line and that will seal it for Minnesota the Wild let a twogoal lead get away but then break the tie with Juel Ericson the winner.

Tyler Pitlick scored his first of the year, Jesper Wallstedt made 34 saves and Joel Eriksson Ek buried the game-winning goal with 22 seconds left to help the Minnesota Wild beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2.
