Nicklas Backstrom gave up two goals in two shootout shots as he and the Wild dropped a 4-3 decision to the visiting Chicago Blackhawks Wednesday night. Backstrom was playing in his second game in two nights. On Tuesday, he was on the losing end of a 2-1 score in Winnipeg. Don't blame Backstrom for Wednesday's loss, though. He played relatively well, steering away 28 of the 31 shots he faced in regulation time.
