Wild vs. Sabres, The Ugly: Minnesota’s early power plays were aimless and sloppy. Then watching the team be satisfied to play for the loser point in overtime was painful and predictable. #mnwild

@nhlgoals.bsky.social Oct 7, 2026, 1:50 AM

Buffalo goal!

Scored by Owen Power with 00:38 left in the OT. Assisted by Jiri Kulich.

BUF: 3 | MIN: 2

Wild vs Sabres, The Bad: The Wild played not to lose in the 3rd and it came back to bite them. Way too many careless turnovers of the puck all night. Boldy looks tired. Losing Nick Foligno to an upper body injury. #mnwild

@sotamedia.bsky.social Oct 7, 2026, 1:49 AM

After Wally put on an absolute clinic to end the 3rd and throughout OT, Owen Power hits the walk off…

#mnwild lose 3-2 in OT

@creaseandassist.bsky.social Oct 7, 2026, 1:46 AM

Wild vs Sabres, The Good: Shabanov and Yurov with the goals. Jesper Wallstedt played well enough for the team to earn a point when perhaps it didn’t deserve it. McCarron keeps finding his way onto the scoresheet. #mnwild

@william-linaman.bsky.social Oct 7, 2026, 1:45 AM

#MNWild get a point in a 3-2 OT L
Disappointing as a Wild fan, esp after a 2 goal lead

@creaseandassist.bsky.social Oct 7, 2026, 1:43 AM

Buffalo wins. Owen Power scores from the high slot to give the Sabres a 3-2 overtime victory. Sabres with three unanswered to win the game. Wallstedt with the loss. #mnwild
