NHL Game Summary - Chicago at Minnesota

St. Paul, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - Jason Pominville and Matt Cooke each scored in the first period and Darcy Kuemper posted 33 saves as the Minnesota Wild edged the Chicago Blackhawks, 2-1, at Xcel Energy Center.

The 23-year-old Kuemper appeared in line for his second career shutout with Minnesota holding a 2-0 lead inside of a minute remaining, but Patrick Kane spoiled the whitewash with his 24th goal of the season at 19:28.

However, Kuemper came up with a clutch stop on the doorstep with under 10 seconds left. Zach Parise, who returned from a 14-game absence, was able to clear the puck out to secure the Wild's third win in their last four games.

Antti Raanta allowed two goals on 19 shots in the setback, Chicago's second in a row and sixth in its last nine games.
