Wild Surge Past Chicago Thursday
The Minnesota Wild scored four goals in the third period to defeat the Blackhawks 5-2 in Chicago Thursday. The Wild is now 1-1-1 on the season.
After a scoreless first period Eric Staal broke the stalemate with a goal for Minnesota at 19:25 of the first period. Chicago tied the game at 8:21 of the third period with a Ryan Hartman goal, but the Wild notched four straight afterward to seal the win.
