CHICAGO -- Kirill Kaprizov scored a power-play goal at 1:38 of overtime to give the Minnesota Wild their sixth straight victory, 4-3 against the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center on Wednesday.
Kirill Kaprizov had two goals in regulation, Mats Zuccarello and Matt Boldy scored in the shootout, and the Minnesota Wild extended their winning streak to seven games with a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche.
Key Wild forwards remain sidelined as practice reveals no immediate returns. Several significant injuries continue to impact the team's lineup.
Instead of taking the sack or throwing the ball away, Brosmer played hero ball and threw a pass right to linebacker Enrest Jones IV for an 85-yard pick-6. That big-time play from Lawrence and Jones completely killed the momentum created by the Vikings’ defense after a strip-sack of quarterback Sam Darnold.
Filip Gustavsson earned the shutout in goal for the Wild, only needing to make 19 saves. It was Minnesota's third shutout in the last six games. Minnesota is 8-1-1 in its last 10 games, all of them coming in November.
