Wild shoot for third consecutive win

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (Ticker) -- After a four-game losing streak, the Minnesota Wild try to earn their third straight win in a matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday.

Despite having to play in back-to-back shootouts, the Wild recorded their second consecutive win, a 3-2 triumph over the Calgary Flames on Thursday. Minnesota's other win was by the same score over Chicago two days earlier.

Mikko Koivu scored the decisive goal in the bonus format Thursday. Earlier in the contest, he tallied on the power play and Brian Rolston netted a goal with the man advantage for the Wild, who got 38 saves from Manny Fernandez.

The Blackhawks endured a 2-1 shootout loss to the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday. Karl Stewart scored a shorthanded goal and Nikolai Khabibulin turned away 34 shots for Chicago, which went 0-for-6 on power-play opportunities.

Minnesota owns a seven-game winning streak here against Chicago.
