The Blackhawks had another lackluster performance Saturday, falling 3-1 to the Minnesota Wild.
The Wild opened the scoring with 3:34 left in the first period. Kevin Fiala carved his way through the zone then passed back to Frederick Gaudreau for a wrist shot goal from the upper slot.
The first period could have been much worse if not for the stellar play of Kevin Lankinen who stopped 16 of 17 shots just in the first 20 minutes.
There wasn’t another goal until the Blackhawks tied the game 1-1 at 8:27 in the third period.
