Joel Eriksson Ek also scored for the Wild and Kaapo Kahknonen made 33 saves. Henrik Borgstrom scored twice and Alex DeBrincat added his 24th goal of the season for the Blackhawks.
Kevin Lankinen stopped 40 shots for Chicago.
Following their back-to-back wins against the Blackhawks, the Wild are 24-10-3 on the season and are eight points behind the Colorado Avalanche who lead the Central Division.
