ST. PAUL, Minn. — The venue changed, but the result didn't.
After the Wild kicked off a home-and-home at Chicago with a resounding win, the team took a more dramatic approach in the rematch by rallying, 4-3 in overtime on Saturday in front of 19,092 at Xcel Energy Center to sweep the weekend series and snag its fifth win in the last six games. Marcus Foligno scored with 38 seconds left in overtime to cap off the comeback after the Wild twice pulled even with the Blackhawks in the third period.
Despite being in complete control for a period-plus, the Wild didn't tie the game at 2 until Kirill Kaprizov redirected in a Mats Zuccarello pass at 10:45 near the end of a 4-minute power play.
