Wild earn comeback win over Blackhawks despite sloppy start CHICAGO — The lineup resembled that of exhibition game, and so, too, did the effort from the Wild for prolonged stretches.After leaving Kirill Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello, Jared Spurgeon and Jonas Brodin at home to avoid potential injury, the Wild lacked urgency against the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night at the United Center.In the end, though, the Wild did just enough to earn a 4-2 win over the Blackhawks. That keeps their slim hopes of winning the Central Division alive at least for a few more days.On a night that former Gophers captain Brock Faber made his NHL debut, and top prospect Marco Rossi made his highly anticipated NHL return, the Wild at times looked like they had very little interest playing in an NHL game.Ultimately that didn’t hurt against a group like the Blackhawks that has been aggressively tanking since the trade deadline.It looked like it might be an easy night for the Wild in the early stages as Matt Boldy scored midway throughout the first period ...
