Associated PressCHICAGO — Marcus Foligno and Nick Foligno both scored Wednesday night. Marcus Foligno snapped a third-period tie and Filip Gustavsson made 20 saves, sending the Minnesota Wild to a 2-1 victory over Nick Foligno and the lowly Chicago Blackhawks. The Foligno brothers matched up in the first game for the Central Division foes after the All-Star break, and Marcus Foligno’s ninth of the season lifted Minnesota to its 11th consecutive victory over Chicago. “Nick says they’re all good guys.” Nick Foligno called it “just two big boys fighting.” “It’s never easy or fun to watch, but at the end of the day it’s my teammate over there so I’m cheering him on,” he said, “and you know we’ll discuss that in the summer.” Jacob Lucchini scored in the first for Minnesota, which had dropped two in a row. “I was proud of the guys for righting the ship in the second and third and taking a lot of that game to them,” Nick Foligno said.
