Chicago had final-quarter opportunities. Midway through the third, Gustavsson stopped Boris Katchouk on a breakaway, and with 3:32 remaining, Lettieri used the heel of his skate to block a Colin Blackwell attempt that was headed toward the goal.

Lucchini, who logged just three shots in his previous eight games since joining the Wild in December, waited a stretch before his first goal in a Minnesota uniform became official. The play initially was ruled a no-goal in real time before the horn sounded seconds later.
The Blackhawks tied the game with a goal from Nick Foligno at 13:44 of the second period. Streaking through the left circle and into the slot, Nick Foligno took a Philipp Kurashev pass and wristed it past a scrambling Gustavsson.
