BUFFALO -- Mats Zuccarello scored at 1:47 of overtime, and the Minnesota Wild recovered for a 5-4 win against the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center on Saturday.
Two goals against in 11 seconds to close out the first period, plus inopportune penalties, helped dig a hole the Wild couldn't escape.
The Wild pelted Buffalo goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in the second and third periods, but could not get a decisive shot past him until Kaprizov set up Zuccarello for the overtime winner. Luukkonen had 31 saves for the Sabres, who won in a shootout in November, in their only visit to St. Paul this season.
