The only team in the NHL with as many points as the Wild is the rival Winnipeg Jets (18-6-0), who play the Dallas Stars at 3:30 p.m. Sunday. The Wild (16-4-4) and Jets are tied atop the Western Conference, though the Jets currently hold the tiebreaker with more wins in regulation. The Washington Capitals (17-6-1, 35 points) are atop the East.

Jared Spurgeon scored 1:00 into overtime and the Minnesota Wild beat the Nashville Predators 3-2. Kirill Kaprizov and Declan Chisholm also scored for the Wild, who are 5-1-1 in their last seven games.

Fedor Svechkov scored his first NHL goal, but the Nashville Predators fell to the Minnesota Wild by a 3-2 final in overtime on Saturday night at Xcel Energy Center. The result gives the Preds their third-consecutive 3-2 defeat in the extra session, a fact that left them wanting more once again.
