VIDEO: Erik Karlsson wires OT winner to cap 3-point night

Erik Karlsson picked up assists on a pair of game-tying goals for the Ottawa Senators in regulation, and the Norris favorite ended the game himself in overtime.

The 25-year-old wired a slap shot past Minnesota Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk to clinch a 3-2 victory for the Senators. The goal was his 13th of the season, and his second overtime winner.

Per @EliasSports: @ErikKarlsson65 is 1st defenseman in @Senators history to score multiple overtime goals in a season (also Dec. 5 vs. NYI).

With a goal and two assists, Karlsson now has 73 points in 71 games, putting him on pace to record the highest-scoring season by a defenseman in the past 20 seasons.
