Hartman scores twice to lead the Wild to a 4-1 win over the Senators
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) --- Ryan Hartman scored twice to lead the Minnesota Wild
to a 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
Jonas Brodin and Jake Middleton also scored for the Wild (43-21-12), and Jesper
Wallstedt made 33 saves.
Linus Ullmark stopped 19 shots for the Senators (39-27-10). Drake Batherson
scored for Ottawa.
Minnesota built a 3-0 lead through the first two periods and extended its
advantage midway through the third on a great effort by Quinn Hughes. Hughes
kept the puck in at the line, spun and found Middleton on the opposite side.
Middleton fired through traffic for his second goal of the season.
Batherson spoiled Wallstedt's shutout attempt with just over three minutes
remaining in the game. Batherson then left the game, but returned after a brief
absence.
The Wild capitalized on a Senators turnover late in the first that led to
Hartman's first goal of the game. Hartman scored his second of the game and
22nd of the season when Mats Zuccharello found him at the top of the slot and
he beat Ullmark on the glove side at 15:31 of the second.
Jake Sanderson returned to Ottawa's lineup after missing 13 games with an
upper-body injury.
Up next
Wild: At the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday afternoon.
Senators: Host the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday.
