Jared Spurgeon (Minnesota Wild) with a Goal vs. Chicago Blackhawks, 01/26/2025

The Chicago Blackhawks suffered a disappointing 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Sunday night at the United Center.

MONTREAL -- Marc-Andre Fleury made 19 saves for his 76th NHL shutout, and the Minnesota Wild won their third straight game, 4-0 against the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre on Thursday.

The message, clearly, was received and understood, as Hynes’ team put together a 60-minute effort for its latest in a notable resume of road wins this season. The Wild got a pair of first period goals and played a strong defensive game in a 3-1 win in Toronto, beating the Maple Leafs in regulation for the first time since 2019.

The Minnesota Wild survived without Kirill Kaprizov the first time, and they can do it again. That’s the message they sent Wednesday, when they upended the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-1 at Scotiabank Arena to kick off Kaprizov’s second hiatus with their most convincing victory in weeks.

Facing another month-plus without their star forward, the Wild set the blueprint for how to win without Kaprizov.
