Dumba scores in OT to lift Wild over Senators 2-1
OTTAWA, Ontario — For a team playing its third game in four nights, the Minnesota Wild looked plenty fresh on Sunday night — even in overtime.
Matt Dumba scored late in the extra session and Darcy Kuemper stopped 35 shots, helping Minnesota beat the Ottawa Senators 2-1.
The Wild were coming off a 3-2 loss to Philadelphia on Saturday after beating Pittsburgh on Thursday.
“It’s not the end of the world to play back-to-backs, and I thought we held on and did a good job,” Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said.
