The Wild could split up Kaprizov and Boldy, and the Marcus Johansson-Eriksson Ek-Boldy line has been their main shutdown group. It allowed the likes of Foligno, Nico Sturm and Yakov Trenin to play together (when healthy).

CHICAGO -- Kirill Kaprizov scored a power-play goal at 1:38 of overtime to give the Minnesota Wild their sixth straight victory, 4-3 against the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center on Wednesday.

It was a good night for the process, both on and off the ice, for the University of Denver hockey team at Ball Arena, but not for the result.
