Theodore sealed the victory with a backhand shot that floated over the glove of Blackhawks goaltender Robin Lehner. Chicago earned one point thanks largely to a strong performance from Lehner, who stopped 33 of 34 shots during regulation and overtime.

Dubnyk, starting in his 300th career game with Minnesota, had nine saves but left after landing hard on his back and hitting the back of his head on the ice when teammate Ryan Donato and Edmonton's Brandon Manning crashed into him while charging the goal.
