Marcus Foligno added an empty-netter near the end of regulation to seal the game before Jason Dickinson got Chicago within one with a goal in the final 30 seconds. Jared Spurgeon and Kirill Kaprizov also lit the lamp in the victory. The Wild snapped a four-game losing streak and remain in second place in the Central Division with 46 points and a 21-10-and-4 record. Minnesota is at Dallas on Friday.
