Jared Spurgeon scored the tying goal with just over two minutes remaining and Kirill Kaprizov tallied the lone goal in the shootout, leading the Minnesota Wild to a 4-3 comeback win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday in Saint Paul, Minn.
Joel Eriksson Ek had a goal and an assist for Minnesota, which rallied from a 3-0 deficit to earn the win. The Wild's Yakov Trenin also scored.
Teuvo Teravainen, Ryan Donato and Ilya Mikheyev were the Blackhawks' goal-scorers.
Wild goaltender Jesper Wallstedt saved 29 of 32 shots in regulation and overtime, and he did not allow a goal in three chances in the shootout. After Chicago's first two attempts missed the target, Wallstedt stopped Donato's wrist shot to seal the win.
Blackhawks goaltender Spencer Knight allowed three goals on 23 shots in regulation and overtime and gave up a goal to Kaprizov in the shootout.
Spurgeon completed the Wild's regulation comeback when he punched in a shot from the right side of the crease to make it 3-3 with 2:02 to play.
Teravainen made an immediate impact in his first game back from an upper-body injury that sidelined him for the previous six contests. On his first shift of the game, he tracked a loose puck in front of the net and punched in his 10th goal of the season at 1:19.
The Blackhawks increased their lead to 2-0 with 4:46 remaining in the opening period. Donato blasted a slap shot past Wallstedt from the left circle.
Mikheyev made it 3-0 with 14:06 to go in the second period. He raced into the offensive zone and ripped a wrist shot from the left circle before the defense could catch up.
Minnesota got on the scoreboard with 7:27 remaining in the second period. Trenin carried the puck on a 2-on-1 rush and zipped a wrist shot past Knight's stick side.
The Wild cut the deficit to 3-2 with 16:03 to go in the third period. Eriksson Ek scored on a rebound near the front of the crease after a long shot from Quinn Hughes.
