Fresh off a solid-but-not-really-spectacular 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night, the Chicago Blackhawks head north on Saturday for their second matchup of the season with the Minnesota Wild — their first meeting on Minnesota’s home ice.
The last matchup between these two teams swung heavily in Minnesota’s favor late thanks to a controversial offside non-call. Chris Stewart’s goal in the middle of the third period that broke a 1-1 deadlock and was the first of four goals the Wild would score that period — including two empty-netters.
