A look at the three stars and key players in Tuesday's game:
1. Chris Neil, Ottawa: Scored one goal, had one assist and had eight hits. The Wild had no answer.
2. Niklas Backstrom, Wild: OK, discount the awful shootout. He made 41 saves through 65 minutes.
3. Peter Regin, Senators: Back from injury, he had two assists, five shots and won 10 of 17 faceoffs.
12-25 Backstrom's shootout record.
.568 Backstrom's shootout save percentage (worst in NHL, minimum 68 shots).
1 Point for former Senator Dany Heatley in his first game in Ottawa as a Wild player.
6 Game-high blocked shots for Wild defenseman Nick Schultz.
