Kaprizov one-timed a crossing pass from Kevin Fiala from the right circle inside the right post for his third career overtime winner. It was the first goal of the season for the reigning Calder Trophy winner, who also had an assist.

Marcus Foligno scored two goals, the 10th multi-goal game of his career, and Calen Addison and Nico Sturm also scored goals for Minnesota, which improved to 3-0 in overtime this season. Cam Talbot finished with 24 saves.

Drake Batherson had a goal and an assist and Josh Norris, Nick Paul and Chris Tierney also scored goals for Ottawa, which lost its ninth consecutive game against the Wild. Michael Del Zotto added two assists while Filip Gustavsson stopped 38 of 43 shots.

Minnesota scored twice in a 27-second span to take a quick 2-0 lead in the first period. Foligno started the scoring with a goalmouth rebound of a Jared Spurgeon shot. Addison followed with his first career NHL goal on a shot from the right point that caromed in off the shoulder of Del Zotto, who was tied up with Wild center Ryan Hartman in front of the crease.

Ottawa cut it to 2-1 midway through the period when Paul deflected a shot by Connor Brown past Talbot for his third goal of the season.

Minnesota tied it later in the period with a power-play goal by Foligno, who knocked in a crossing path from Matt Dumba into the left corner of the net for his fourth goal of the season.
