Brock Faber scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and the Minnesota Wild held on for a 4-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night in Saint Paul, Minn.

Kirill Kaprizov, Jared Spurgeon and Marcus Foligno each added one goal for Minnesota, which snapped a four-game losing streak. The Wild improved to 13-0-1 in their past 14 games against the Blackhawks.

Connor Bedard, Nick Foligno and Jason Dickinson each scored for Chicago. The Blackhawks lost their second straight game after winning the previous three in a row.

Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson returned from a lower-body injury that sidelined him for the previous four games. He turned aside 28 of 31 shots to earn the victory.

Blackhawks goaltender Arvid Soderblom allowed three goals on 26 shots.

Faber put the Wild on top 3-2 with 17:17 remaining in the third period. He fired a one-timer from the high slot to beat Soderblom, who was screened in front of the net.

Marcus Foligno added an empty-net goal to make it 4-2 Wild with 1:24 remaining.

The Blackhawks kept their net empty in favor of an extra attacker, and Dickinson capitalized with a goal to cut the deficit to 4-3 in the final minute. That proved to be the last score, as the Wild preserved their one-goal lead for the final 33 seconds.

Chicago opened the scoring 6:47 into the first period. Bedard took advantage of a giveaway by the Wild, faked a wrist shot and slid a snap shot past Gustavsson.
