A potentially ho-hum road trip ended in gutsy fashion after the shorthanded Wild rallied for a 4-3 shootout win over the Blackhawks at United Center and wrap the five-game trek with seven out of a possible 10 points.
After a scoreless overtime, Kirill Kaprizov and Frederick Gaudreau converted in the shootout while Marc-Andre Fleury stopped Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane.
Fleury's 62 shootout wins are the most in NHL history, and this secured coach Dean Evason's 100th career victory.
