FINAL: Kaprizov PPG wins it for the Wild, 4-3. Hawks won't be happy about losing this one, and they won't be happy with that Mikheyev penalty call.

Mikheyev gets called for interference after a center-ice collision with Eriksson Ek, who had just leveled Bedard. Not sure what Mikheyev could have done there to avoid contact.

The Blackhawks and Wild are headed to overtime after a fabulous 60 minutes. Fun one tonight, but it'll sting if Chicago doesn't get that second point with the way it dominated most of this game.

Murphy and Trenin drop the gloves after a big Murphy two-hander in the corner. Spirited bout, and a long one. Both landed a few.

9 goals, 14 points in Matt Boldy's past 10 games.
GOAL: And the Wild tie it up 3-3 at 10:35. Knight got dragged out of position and Boldy buried an easy one. We've got a barn burner tonight.

END OF PERIOD 2: After 39 minutes and 45 seconds of dominance, the Blackhawks suddenly find themselves clinging to a precarious 2-1 lead. Faber scores off Bertuzzi's stick with 13.6 seconds left, and Crevier takes a delay-of-game penalty with less than four seconds left in the period.

The puck trickles through Spencer Knight's legs on a Wild power play, but stops halfway across the goal line and Knight eventually grabs it. Reminds me of Henrik Lundqvist in the 2014 Stanley Cup Final at the Garden.

Wyatt Kaiser was on the ice for 4 minutes, 34 seconds of 5v5 time in the first period. Per Natural Stat Trick, the Blackhawks had 12 scoring chances in that time, against just two for the Wild.
