Chicago (19-0-3) found itself on the verge of its first regulation defeat Sunday at Detroit before Kane scored with 2:02 remaining in regulation to send things into overtime. The 24-year-old All-Star then notched the game's only shootout goal to give the Blackhawks a 2-1 victory.

Chicago has earned at least one point in 28 consecutive games since last March 25, tied for the second-longest streak in NHL history. Philadelphia went 35 straight in 1979-80.

The Blackhawks, who have outscored opponents 24-13 during their nine-game winning streak, now turn their attention to the Wild (11-8-2). Chicago opened the season with six consecutive victories before falling 3-2 at Minnesota on Jan. 30, a result that surely figures to be on its mind.

The Blackhawks have lost the last three matchups -- all in shootouts -- and have earned at least one point in the last seven in the series (4-0-3). While Wild coach Mike Yeo knows pulling out another victory won't be easy, he's looking forward to the challenge.

Meanwhile, Minnesota is coming off its fifth win in seven games, 4-2 over Edmonton on Sunday. Captain Mikko Koivu tallied a goal and two assists as the Wild outshot the Oilers 43-21, including 18-0 in the second period.

Niklas Backstrom made 19 saves to improve to 6-1-1 with a 1.70 goals-against average over his last eight starts. He had gone 1-4-1 with a 3.43 GAA in his previous seven games versus Chicago before turning away all 28 shots after replacing an ineffective Josh Harding in January. Chicago's Andrew Shaw and Jonathan Toews scored in the game's first seven minutes.
