Brandon Saad and David Kampf also scored for
the Blackhawks, who won for the first time in five games
(1-3-1). Goaltender Robin Lehner made 23 saves.
Kevin Fiala scored two goals for Minnesota and Eric Staal added
another for his 1,000th career NHL point. Rookie Kaapo Kahkonen
stopped 22 of 26 shots but suffered his first loss in regulation
in five games (3-1-1).
The Blackhawks, who blew a three-goal lead in the third period
in a loss Saturday at St. Louis, built a two-goal advantage in
the first period before Minnesota tied the score. Chicago then
took a 3-2 lead before the Wild evened it on Fiala's second goal
at 14:20 of the second period.
Saad got the winner on a fluke bounce at 13:43 of the third, and
Kane capped the scoring, and his hat trick, with an empty-netter
from center ice at 18:57.
Saad tipped a point shot by Connor Murphy off a defenseman in
front. The puck soared over Kahkonen, who lost sight of it, and
trickled over the goal line.
Kane scored the game's first two goals, sneaking a wraparound
just inside the right post at 7:42 of the first period, and then
beating Kahkonen with a high wrist shot from the top of the slot
on the power play at 11:33.
Staal pulled the Wild within 2-1 with a power-play goal at 12:37
of the first, blasting a one-timer from the right faceoff circle
into the top right corner of the net.
Fiala tied the score at 2-2 on a breakaway just 1:59 into the
second.
Kampf redirected a pass from Murphy into the net at 8:13 of the
second, before Fiala tied it with a cross-ice pass that
deflected off a defenseman and into the net.
