Wild Blank Blackhawks

Cam Talbot made 30 saves for his first shutout of the season and the Minnesota Wild beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-0 on Wednesday night to extended their points streak to 10 games.

 

Mats Zuccarello, Kevin Fiala and Frederick Gaudreau each had a goal and an assist for surging Minnesota. The Wild head into the NHL's All-Star break on a 9-0-1 roll.

 

The 34-year-old Talbot, named an All-Star for the first time, had his 25th career shutout.

 

Fiala extended his career-high points streak to 12 games, matching Mikael Granlund's Wild record set in 2017.

 

The Blackhawks lost their third straight and are 1-5-2 in their last eight. Marc-Andre Fleury allowed five goals on 30 shots before being relieved by Collin Delia late in the third.

 

Chicago played again without captain Jonathan Toews. He missed his third straight game because of a concussion.

 

The Blackhawks are at Edmonton on Wednesday, Feb. 9.
