The Wild have spent the past five days chasing the Chicago Blackhawks -- in the series, on the scoreboard and after faceoffs.
Minnesota has lost the faceoff battle in each of the first three games of the Western Conference semifinal series, including a 37-22 drubbing in Game 3.
"They're so good with the puck, that faceoff is so important if you don't start with the puck," Wild left wing Zach Parise said. "They're good at exiting their zone, so you're losing a chance right there. If you don't win it in the neutral zone, they're getting into your zone.
