Mon Dec 30 03:00:00 UTC 2024: ## Wild Look to Extend Winning Streak Against Senators

**ST. PAUL, Minn.** – The Minnesota Wild (22-10-4, 48 points) aim to continue their winning ways tonight as they host the Ottawa Senators (18-14-2, 38 points) at the Xcel Energy Center. The Wild are riding a two-game winning streak since the return of goaltender Filip Gustavsson from injury, most recently securing an overtime victory against the Dallas Stars.

The matchup marks a Central Division versus Atlantic Division clash with significant history. The Wild hold a slight edge in the all-time series against the Senators (16-10-5), winning 9 of 12 games played at home. Their season series is currently tied 1-1. Ottawa secured a shootout victory in Stockholm, Sweden, early in the season, while Minnesota responded with a 3-2 win in St. Paul.

Minnesota’s offense will look to players like Marco Rossi, Matt Boldy, Vinni Lettieri, and Mason Shaw, all of whom scored in previous matchups against Ottawa. Gustavsson will likely start in net for the Wild, while the Senators may turn to either Anton Forsberg or Jonas Korpisalo. Ottawa’s offensive threats include Drake Batherson and Jakob Chychrun, who each recorded two points in the season series.
