(Montreal, Quebec) — Minnesota Wild star forward Kirill Kaprizov’s 15th career overtime goal lifted the Wild to a 2-1 O-T win on Tuesday night over the Canadiens. Bobby Brink scored the first goal of the game early in the third, but the Canadiens answered with just 1:38 left in regulation as Nick Suzuki’s goal evened the score at 1-1. A late penalty on Montreal put the Wild on the power play that lasted into overtime, and it was Kaprizov’s one-timer from the right circle just 18-seconds into overtime that gave the Wild their sixth straight road win. The trip continues on Thursday in Toronto and concludes Saturday in Boston.
