Ryan Hartman scored with 1:11 remaining in the third period and the Minnesota Wild beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 on Saturday. Ryan Reaves and Frederick Gaudreau also scored for Minnesota, and Filip Gustavsson made 22 saves in goal. The Wild have points in four straight after their franchise-record 14-game point streak was snapped on March 18. Minnesota started the day a point behind Dallas, which hosts Vancouver, for the lead in the Central Division.
Filip Gustavsson has been something else for the Minnesota Wild this season. Coming in as a once-highly regarded goaltending prospect and the trade return from the Ottawa Senators for veteran netminder Cam Talbot, the expectations several months ago was just someone that can adequately support Marc-Andre Fleury as the backup. Well, it turns out he just took over the starting role and is now having one of the best seasons in Wild history from a goaltender. With his well-deserved .932 save percentage and 2.01 goals against average being both the second-best markers in the entire NHL, he has burst onto the scene as one of the best at just 24 years old.
