I would like this almost as much as I did the Jets last night against these same Senators for the same reason: Goaltender matchup as it will be rookie Leevi Merilainen (3.71 GAA) for Ottawa against Vezina contender Filip Gustavsson (16-5-2, 2.26 GAA) for Minnesota. The reason I don't love this is that Wild star and Hart Trophy favorite Kirill Kaprizov is likely out again. But that is somewhat mitigated by the return from injury of Joel Eriksson Ek (13 points, +10) after missing 11 games. And that the Sens are in the second of a B2B is obviously an advantage for Minnesota.
