The Chicago Blackhawks crept closer to the Minnesota Wild in the standings with a 4-2 victory on Sunday afternoon. The win puts the Hawks just one point behind the Wild for the top spot in the Central Division with the season series wrapped up.
Chicago got out to a blazing start Sunday with a pair of quick goals that helped wake up anyone who wasn’t ready for the early start. Things settled in from there as the Wild tweaked their gameplan and countered with dominant possession the rest of the day, but the Hawks took advantage of their early scores and good goaltending from Corey Crawford to hang on.
