November brought a true transformation for the Wild. They seemed to awaken from their slumber and show a completely different side. A phenomenal winning streak allowed them to recoup their early season losses and climb the standings.
December continued this positive trend, though perhaps at a slightly slower pace.
On the other hand, December didn't start well for the Senators, as they went winless for three games. However, the last game in Columbus provided a breakthrough. A road win, especially after a difficult streak, could be the boost the team needs to get back on track.
Therefore, I see this match as a fair draw in regular time.
