ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 27 (UPI) -- Andrew Brunette and Antti Miettinen each had a goal and an assist Monday to lead the Minnesota Wild to a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.

Mikko Koivu assisted on all three goals and Brent Burns also scored for the Wild, who have won four of their last five games despite the absence of star forward Marian Gaborik, who is on injured reserve with a lower body injury.

Niklas Backstrom made 34 saves to help the Wild to a 6


1 record as they remain the NHL's lone unbeaten team in regulation.

Patrick Sharp and Duncan Keith scored for the Blackhawks. Chicago goalie Cristobal Huet faced only 18 shots but allowed three to get past him.
