Minnesota Vikings @ Cincinnati Bengals
Chicago 3, Minnesota 0
CHICAGO (AP) -- Craig Anderson stopped 25 shots and Eric Daze and
Mark Bell scored power-play goals to give the Chicago Blackhawks a
3-0 exhibition win over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday night.
Anderson and Michael Leighton are prime candidates to back up
Blackhawks starter Nikolai Khabibulin this season.
Anderson played the entire game on Sunday after Leighton played
all of Chicago's 5-4 win Saturday. He was especially sharp during
the third period when Minnesota had 11 shots.
Minnesota goalie Josh Harding played the entire game as well,
making 25 saves.
The Blackhawks took a 2-0 lead in the first period on a pair of
power-play goals.
Daze opened the scoring 4:25 in when he shot from a sharp angle
and the puck bounced in off Harding, who was down on the ice. Bell
converted a rebound from the slot at 9:41.
Kyle Calder made it 3-0 just 15 seconds into the third, cutting
to net from the right wing and sticking a shot past Harding.
Chicago was 2-for-9 on the power play, Minnesota wasted its
eight power-play chances.
