Chicago jumped out to a 1-0 lead with a goal merely 80 seconds into the game. Winger Landon Ferraro curled the puck behind the net and swung out to the right side of the Wild goal. Ferarro slipped a pass cross-crease to Wade Megan, who beat Steve Michalek for his fifth goal of the year.
Despite holding Chicago to only two shots on goal, Iowa saw its deficit doubled by the end of the period. The Wild outshot the Wolves 7-2 in the middle frame. Chicago’s Samuel Blais finished off an odd-man rush at 17:34 of the middle period to make it 2-0. Center Alex Freisen sent a cross-ice feed to Blais, who ripped a one-timer past Michalek. Wolves forward Kenny Agostino added an assist on Blais’ second goal of the year.
