gradually picking it up the way I needed to during the first

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Chicago Blackhawks will try to get another winning streak started on Tuesday night as they take on the rival Minnesota Wild for the first time this season. The Blackhawks had a season-high eight-game winning streak snapped with a road loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday, but bounced right back the following day with a 2-1 win over the visiting Calgary Flames. Chicago took advantage of a Calgary miscue to score the winning goal with 7:03 to play in the third period. The Flames Johnny Gaudreau fell down and lost control of the puck just inside the Chicago zone, triggering a counter rush for the Blackhawks. Jonathan Toews then dished to Brandon Saad, who scored glove side on the breakaway. It was perfect, Saad said of Toews pass. It was a great play. Toews also assisted on Patrick Sharps goal, while Antti Raanta made 23 saves. Raanta played for the first time since Dec. 5 as rookie Scott Darling had started each of Chicagos previous four games. The two have been manning the crease with No. 1 goaltender Corey Crawford out with a lower-body injury. Raanta lost the only time he faced the Wild, giving up two goals on 19 shots, while the rookie Darling has never faced them. Minnesota looks to finish off a three-game road trip with another win, having bested the Arizona Coyotes in a shootout on Saturday after losing the opener of the swing in San Jose last Thursday. Zach Parise scored a game-tying goal on the power play with 5:53 left in regulation on Saturday, then scored in the shootout along with Mikko Koivu for a 4-3 win. I thought that our guys, not only the urgency, the way that we executed and I thought it was a good job, Wild coach Mike Yeo said. Nino Niederreiter and Jason Zucker also scored and Niklas Backstrom made 26 saves for the Wild, who are looking to win consecutive games for the first time since a four-game run from Nov 13-20. They have split their past 11 games. Minnesota was without defenseman Jared Spurgeon on Saturday due to illness. He did not practice on Monday nor did he travel with the team to Chicago, while fellow blueliner Keith Ballard remains out with a concussion and facial fractures suffered last Tuesday. Defenseman Marco Scandella, though, is eligible to return from a two-game suspension handed down following an illegal hit versus the New York Islanders a week ago. Minnesota returns home to face Boston on Wednesday, so Backstrom and Darcy Kuemper could both see action over the next two nights. Kuemper is 1-0-0 with a 1.22 goals against average and .959 save percentage in two games (1 start) versus the Blackhawks, while Backstrom is 6-9-1 with a 2.82 GAA and .913 save percentage against them. This is the first of five meetings between the Wild and Blackhawks this season. Minnesota went 3-1-1 versus Chicago in 2013-14.

LOUIS -- Known for his game-managing and defensive skills, Yadier Molina made another statement with his bat.PARIS – Milos Raonic almost seemed offended by the question. On Wednesday, Raonic was asked about the challenges that will come facing Frenchman Gilles Simon at the French Open on Friday with a partisan Parisian crowd likely looking to influence the outcome of the third-round match. "The lines are the same, courts are the same, go out there and play tennis," Raonic said describing his approach. So, a hostile crowd doesnt bother the eighth seed at all? "I hope not," Raonic quipped. The Thornhill, Ont. native is used to playing in enemy territory. Last year he beat Frenchman Michael Llodra, ranked 55th at the time, in four sets in the second round at Roland Garros. He beat James Blake in straight sets in the third round of the US Open in 2012 although the American did enter the match ranked 114th. Raonic has fallen victim to the hometown hero at a slam, though, losing to former world No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt in four sets at the Australian Open two years ago. But Raonic insists the Australian fans had no impact on him. "I think the only thing it really brought out was the best in Lleyton. I dont think it really got down on me. I have been in situations since then, I have played James in New York, so I have been in similar situations and I cant really predict, assume, or worry too much about whats going to be happening and whats going to be said. Ive got to focus really on just playing." Most recently, Raonic posted an impressive five-set marathon win over Janko Tipsarevic during Davis Cup play in Belgrade last year. He lost to Novak Djokovic in straight sets a couple days later although the opening set went to a tiebreak. "Its never easy playing Novak with a Serbian crowd. There are many situations I have already been in. I have learned from them and I just keep it within myself. I just focus on myself," the 23-year-old said. Simon and Raonic played just once before with Raonic triumphing in a tight three-set battle in Portugal (Estoril) three years ago. "I played him on clay there," Raonic said. "I think Im a much better player than I was baack then, but at the same time I believe he plays much better here than he does throughout the rest of the clay events.dddddddddddd." Simon, the 29th seed, has cruised through his first two matches of this years French Open dropping just 11 games. In contrast, Raonic has lost 23. "Its going to be a difficult match," Raonic said. "But I think I will have my opportunities to take control and dictate and thats going to be the most important thing." Raonic has run into some rough patches early in his two matches in the French capital. He was forced into a tiebreaker in the opening set against Jiri Vesely on Wednesday ultimately besting the 81st-ranked Czech 7-6(4), 6-4, 6-1. "I felt like in the beginning I was just missing a little bit of intensity and I was letting him dictate a little bit too much. Then in the important moments I played the right way," Raonic explained. "At the beginning of the second, I sort of fell into the same slump a little bit with intensity, but then I feel like I did the right thing for the rest of the match and I gave myself plenty of opportunities." Raonic was asked why, at times, intensity is an issue early in these matches. "Sometimes you go in maybe sort of calculating, because it is three out of five, which youre a little bit unused to because [most tournaments are best of three]. I think thats really the only thing. And, also, at the beginning of matches you sort of try to find your way into it. You cant go out trying to hit close to the line, because thats never going to really work. Maybe once in a while it will, but you sort of have to find your way in. I just wasnt gradually picking it up the way I needed to during the first." In general, though, Raonic is happy with how his tournament is progressing. He beat Australian wildcard Nick Kyrgios 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 in the first round on Sunday. "I feel like Im playing better and I think I dealt a little bit better with it when I got things figured out as far as intensity. I held it on a little bit better where I struggled a little bit with my match three days ago." ' ' '
