There, the floodgates opened, and Ottawa ultimately fell 7-2 in the State of Hockey, now 11-13-1 on the season. Anders Nilsson finished 27 for 35.
The first period was marked by Minnesota missing some glorious opportunities, somehow not connecting on wide open nets with Anders Nilsson nowhere in sight.
