Joey Anderson and Anders Bjork scored and Alex
Stalock made 18 saves for the Blackhawks (25-49-6, 56 points),
who have lost 11 of 12.
Johansson scored short-handed with six minutes left to tie it
2-2, then got loose again and scored 2:47 later for a 3-2 lead.
Gustav Nyquist scored into an empty net with 1:01 left for the
final margin.
Boldy made it 1-0 at 12:32 of the first period when he collected
his own rebound and scored his 31st of the season, including 15
in the past 18 games.
Anderson tied it 1-1 at 18:11 of the first period when he pushed
a loose puck between the pads of Gustavsson.
The Blackhawks moved ahead 2-1 at 2:23 of the second period.
Minnesota turned the puck over in the neutral zone, leading to a
partial breakaway by Buddy Robinson. His shot from the right
circle was saved, but Bjork was in position for the rebound and
scored his first of the season.
Chicago nearly took a 3-1 lead into the third period, but Boris
Katchouk's wrist shot went off the inside of the left post with
1:06 left in the second.
Gustavsson turned away Jason Dickinson on a short-handed
breakaway early in the third. Jonathan Toews also appeared to
give Chicago a 3-1 lead during a delayed penalty at 12:16, but
the goal was waved off because Minnesota had gained possession
just prior to the goal to begin the power play.
The Wild played without their top three point-scorers -- Kirill
Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello and Joel Eriksson Ek -- and their
highest-scoring defenseman, Jared Spurgeon.
Kaprizov, who leads Minnesota with 39 goals and 74 points, sat
out one game after returning from a 13-game absence (lower-body
injury).
