MILWAUKEE – Connor Dewar and Matt Boldy each scored shorthanded goals, Brandon Duhaime also scored and the Wild shut out the Chicago Blackhawks 3-0 in Milwaukee to improve to 4-0 this preseason.

The game was played at the Fiserv Forum, home of the Milwaukee Bucks. It was the first NHL preseason game played in Milwaukee since 1993.
