The Minnesota Wild secured a critical 4-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, showcasing a strong performance on the road. Jared Spurgeon opened the scoring with a wrist shot, setting the tone for the game. Frederick Gaudreau extended the lead before Joel Eriksson Ek added a power-play goal with a deft redirection. Despite a late rally by the Blackhawks, including goals from Seth Jones and Frank Nazar, the Wild held firm. Matt Boldy's three assists were instrumental as Minnesota aimed to snap a losing streak.

Filip Gustavsson made 18 saves in goal, contributing to the Wild's defensive efforts, especially in the final moments against a Chicago team that had struggled recently. The Wild's next challenge will be against the Toronto Maple Leafs, while the Blackhawks continue their road trip against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
