The Chicago Blackhawks and Minnesota Wild took it outside on Sunday afternoon, but only one team appeared to show up, with the Wild dominating all 60 minutes of play en route to a 6-1 win. Minnesota's defense stifled the Blackhawks offensive attack and the Blackhawks blue line was borderline horrible all day.
The Wild got started very early. They won the game's opening faceoff an immediately took the puck down the ice for a pretty good scoring chance right off the bat. They opened the scoring just 3:25 into the game when Matt Dumba joined a rush and was able to put home a rebound after Brent Seabrook did a whole lot of nothing to help Corey Crawford out.
