For the second straight game, Charlie Coyle came through in the shootout to keep the Minnesota Wild within one point of a playoff spot.Coyle scored the only goal in the tiebreaker to lift the Wild to a 3-2 victory over the Blackhawks on Sunday night.Coyle, Minnesota’s first shooter, beat Scott Darling with a backhander a night after he and Zach Parise scored in the shootout in a home win over Carolina.Minnesota remained one point behind Colorado, which beat Edmonton, for the Western Conference’s second and final wild-card spot.Nino Niederreiter had his 18th goal and added an assist, and Erik Haula also scored in regulation as the Wild improved to 4-0 against the Blackhawks this season. ”We love playing in these games. I’m sure they do too,” Haula said. ”It doesn’t really matter right now; just getting in the playoffs is what matters.” Devan Dubnyk stopped 29 shots through overtime and then was perfect in the shootout against Chicago’s Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Artemi Panarin. Andrew Shaw scored his 12th goal to end an 11-game drought and linemate Richard Panik connected to end a 14-game streak without a goal to bring the Blackhawks back from a 2-0 deficit. ”They got an early lead and put us behind the 8-ball,” Shaw said, ”but we knew if we kept sticking to our game we could fight our way back and that’s exactly what we did.” Darling made his third straight start and finished with 32 saves, including several point-blank stops, as Blackhawks No. 1 goalie Corey Crawford remained sidelined day-to-day with an upper-body injury. ”He played unbelievable,” Shaw said. ”He made some big-time saves, especially late in the game there. He was our first star tonight.” Kane, the NHL’s leading scorer, got up slowly after colliding with Minnesota’s Matt Dumba at the Wild blue line early in the third, but returned minutes later.The Blackhawks outshot Minnesota 13-7 in the scoreless first but generated almost nothing during a 4-minute power play early in the period, set up by Parise’s double-minor for high-sticking Michal Rozsival.The pace picked up late in the period, spurred by a high-energy shift by the fourth line of Shaw, Panik and Andrew Desjardins. Dubnyk made a point-blank save on Desjardins with 3:08 left to keep it scoreless.Minnesota jumped out to a 2-0 lead early in the second on goals by Haula and Niederreiter.Haula opened the scoring at 50 seconds on a shot from between the circles after taking Justin Fontaine’s deflected centering pass.Niederreiter outmuscled Marian Hossa and wrapped in a rebound of Jordan Schroeder’s shot at 7:04, just 9 seconds after the Hawks killed Hossa’s tripping penalty.Shaw cut it to 2-1 just 1:34 later following a nice move as he drove into the slot from the right boards. Shaw’s shot squeezed between Dubnyk’s right arm and torso, and trickled into the net.Capping another buzzing shift by his line, Panik tied it at 2 all with 6:39 left in the second on a wraparound shot from the right side of the net that banked in off Dubnyk’s left skate.Minnesota outshot the Blackhawks 15-7 in the scoreless third.Darling robbed Parise on two point-blank chances during a Wild power play early in the third to maintain the tie. He then stopped Haula with a close-in glove save at 8:25.The Hawks killed a goalie interference penalty to Artem Anisimov in overtime by blocking four shots – and getting lucky when Parise fired a shot off the side of a wide open net with Darling down and out of position.
