The Chicago Blackhawks led 2-0 with a few minutes left to go in the second period when a goal was disallowed after video review for offside to extend the lead to three goals. The Wild took advantage of the turnaround in the game and stormed back to win in overtime.

Jason Dickinson and Connor Bedard got the Blackhawks on the scoreboard in the second period to make the lead 2-0 with just under nine minutes to play in the middle period. Dickinson’s second goal of the season, unassisted, beat Minnesota goaltender Filip Gustavsson after the Wild lost the puck in their own zone and Dickinson found himself in front to bury home a five-hole tally.

Bedard would extend the lead to 2-0 with his 14th goal of the season on a beautiful tic-tac-toe play with defenseman Sam Rinzel and forward Tyler Bertuzzi.

Minnesota defenseman Brock Faber would score with less than a minute to play in the second period, beating Chicago goaltender Spencer Knight.

After the start of the third period, Chicago could not hold off the Wild, as they seemed to take all advantage of the momentum in the building after the disallowed goal. Minnesota scored to tie the game at 2-2 when forward Nico Sturm scored his first goal of the season.

Chicago defenseman Artyom Levshunov buried home his first goal of his career off a nifty pass by Bedard.

Chicago took the 3-2 lead and were outshooting the visiting Wild 31-14 at the time.

The Wild would tie the game at the midway point of the final period when forward Matthew Boldy scored his 14th goal of the season.

In overtime, Chicago forward Ilya Mikheyev was called for a questionable interference penalty, which led to the Wild’s game-winning goal at the 1:43 mark of overtime. Kirill Kaprizov beat Knight for his 14th goal of the season, sending the young Blackhawks home with only a point in a game that seemed to be in hand after what appeared to be a three-goal lead.

The Blackhawks are back on home ice against the Nashville Predators for a 7 p.m. CST puck drop on Friday, when the team will debut the return of the black alternate jerseys.

Analysis

Chicago looked to have the comfortable lead, but the more veteran Wild came storming back to win a game in which Minnesota was clearly not the better team on the ice for most of the game. This is the type of game that Chicago will eventually turn the tides and overcome bad calls.

Bedard continues to be a threat any time he is on the ice. His play in the neutral and offensive zones have been second-to-none of this team and most in the NHL. Anyone complaining about his offensive game is looking for things to complain about.
