Blackhawks 4, Wild 3 (OT)
Jonathan Toews scored at 3:09 of overtime as the Chicago Blackhawks snapped an eight-game regular-season losing streak against the Minnesota Wild with a 4-3 victory.
Toews, who added two assists, tapped home a rebound between Minnesota goaltender Darcy Kuemper's legs to send Chicago to its third straight win.
Ryan Hartman, Nick Schmaltz and Richard Panik also scored for the Blackhawks, who got 35 saves from goaltender Corey Crawford.
Jared Spurgeon, Zach Parise and Erik Haula scored for the Wild, who had won two games in a row and returned home for the first time since Jan. 26. Kuemper made 28 saves.
Minnesota tied the game with 3:03 remaining when defenseman Marco Scandella carried the puck all the way up the ice and then went to the left of Crawford.
Scandella's centering pass was tipped home by Haula to set up overtime.
Panik secured a loose puck behind Kuemper after the goalie came out to challenge the play when Chicago defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson was fed the puck in the left circle.
Hjalmarsson lost the puck, which slid past Kuemper right to Panik. Panik scored his 12th of the season from the side of the goal to regain the lead for Chicago after Minnesota's flurry tied the game.
Schmaltz scored his fourth of the season 69 seconds into the second period but the Wild stormed back.
Spurgeon put Minnesota on the board 37 seconds later for his seventh goal of the season.
The Wild tied the game midway through the period on a nifty play by Parise.
Charlie Coyle entered the zone and sent the puck toward Parise at the goal, Parise tipped the puck purposely between his legs and then turned to collect the rebound after Crawford made the initial save.
Parise shot quick for his 11th goal of the season, but the Blackhawks challenged whether Parise was offside.
A video review went on for several minutes, with the on-ice officials even using a cell phone to speak with the league's situation room in New York.
Parise skated back to the neutral zone while Coyle had the puck near the blue line. After more than six minutes, the league determined the review was inconclusive and the original call on the ice stood to tie the game.
Chicago got the scoring started with the only goal in the first. Ryan Hartman one-timed a centering pass from Vinnie Hinostroza for his 13th goal.
