Koivu’s OT winner lifts Wild over Edmonton Connor McDavids

The Minnesota Wild had not yet faced the Edmonton Oilers this season. That all changed tonight, as it marked the first of two match-ups between the 2 teams in 3 games for the Wild. The Wild will close their 5-game road trip against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday, and then play host to the Oilers on Friday.

The Oilers would be on the 2nd night of back-to-backs. They played against the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday, a 3-2 overtime victory for the Oilers. Tired legs may play into the later stages of the games, and with this one going to overtime as well, you’d expect the Oil to be gassed.
