Jared Spurgeon put the Wild up 1-0 at 5:43 of the first period, taking a pass in the slot from Boldy and putting the puck past the stick side of Mrazek. Frederick Gaudreau made it 2-0 at 7:17, when his shot from the bottom of the right face-off circle got past Mrazek on the short side.

Philipp Kurashev had a bounce-back game, but the Chicago Blackhawks coughed up two leads — including a two-goal advantage.
