The Minnesota Wild got behind early against the Chicago Blackhawks, and despite some great stretches of hockey they were unable to complete the comeback and fell 3-1 to the Hawks in a Sunday evening contest in Chicago. For the Wild, it would mark the first time the team has lost consecutive games since October 13-15 against the Hurricanes and Predators.
All was right in the world once again as the Wild got off to one of their patented slow starts. It didn’t take long before Chicago started skating harder and tilting the ice in their favor.
