ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) --- Kirill Kaprizov scored the shootout winner as the
Minnesota Wild defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 on Tuesday night.
Kaprizov was Minnesota's second shooter and beat Spencer Knight with a wrist
shot. Wild goalie Jesper Wallstedt stopped all three shootout attempts as the
Wild came back from a 3-0 deficit to beat Chicago for the 17th time in 18 games.
Yakov Trenin, Joel Eriksson Ek and Jared Spurgeon scored for Minnesota.
Wallstedt stopped 29 of 32 shots.
Teuvo Teravainen, Ryan Donato and Ilya Mikheyev scored for Chicago. Knight made
20 saves.
The Blackhawks took a 2-0 lead in the first period on goals by Teravainen and
Donato.
Mikheyev made it 3-0 nearly six minutes into the second period, when he beat
Wallstedt with a wrist shot.
Trenin began the Minnesota comeback when he broke in alone and beat Knight with
a wrist shot at 12:33 of the second.
Minnesota cut the Chicago lead to 3-2 early in the third when Quinn Hughes
fired a shot that hit Marcus Johansson's skate and deflected to Erikson Ek, who
got his stick down in time to tap it into the net.
Spurgeon knocked in a rebound of an Eriksson Ek shot to tie it with 2:01 to
play in the third. The goal came after Minnesota had killed its fourth Chicago
power play of the game. The Wild also killed a power play in overtime.
