In a game that only a mother could love, the Wild stood tall against the Chicago Blackhawks until a late 3rd period double-minor against Luke Kunin turned into a power play goal for the Hawks. In this game, 1 goal was all either team would have needed.
The Wild were out-shot by the Hawks in the first period by a 16-9 margin and that would be a nice cushion to keep Chicago on top in the shot department all game. We start out as many of these games against the Hawks tend to go.
