Mason Shaw, called up from Iowa after Jordan Greenway was placed on injured reserve, scored Minnesota’s second goal of the night.
Minnesota lost Ryan Hartman midway through the second period when he appeared to injure his arm or shoulder during a fight with Chicago’s Jarred Tinordi. Hartman did not return to the game, with the Wild saying he suffered an upper-body injury.
The Wild also played without forward Marcus Foligno, who was ruled out with an upper-body injury. Head coach Dean Evason said Foligno will be evaluated in Minnesota, as Sunday’s game in Chicago wrapped up a five-game road trip.
Minnesota went 3-1-1 and secured seven of a possible ten points on the road trip.
Up next: Wild vs. Montreal on Tuesday at 7 p.m.
