The Minnesota Wild faced the Chicago Blackhawks in a tightly contested match that ended in a 2-1 overtime loss. Despite a late equalizer from Matt Boldy, the Wild struggled with fatigue from their demanding schedule, showing signs of a lackluster performance throughout the game.

Chicago's Philipp Kurashev scored the game-winner in overtime, ending the Blackhawks' two-game losing streak against a Wild team that had previously dominated them. The Wild's inability to capitalize on power plays and their disjointed play ultimately cost them the victory.
