The Minnesota Wild are set to face the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday, November 10, 2024, at the United Center in Chicago. The Wild, with a strong 9-2-2 record, are favored to win, given their recent dominance over the Blackhawks.

The Blackhawks have been held to 1 or fewer goals in 7 of the last 9 games against the Wild. Key players for the Blackhawks include Connor Bedard with 13 points and Ryan Donato with 10 points, but their offense has been inconsistent[2][4].
