WILD 2, CAPITALS 1
Luke Kunin scored
the go-ahead goal with 7:35 left, Devan Dubnyk made
21 saves and the Minnesota
Wild moved into playoff position by beating the Washington
Capitals 2-1 on Friday night.
Jordan
Greenway also scored for Minnesota, which snapped a two-game
skid and leapfrogged the Arizona
Coyotes and Colorado
Avalanche to move into the second wild-card spot in a
competitive Western Conference race. Ryan Donato assisted
on the goals by Kunin and Greenway and was the Wild's best forward in a game
dominated by that second line.
Brett
Connolly scored his 21st goal of the season and Braden Holtby made
25 saves for Washington, which has lost four of six. The defending Stanley Cup
champion Capitals missed an opportunity to add to their lead atop the Metropolitan
Division and still lead the New York
Islanders and Pittsburgh
Penguins by four points.
DUCKS 4, SHARKS 3, OT

his stick side, was his 23rd of the season.
Rickard
Rakell scored two goals and assisted on the game-winner. Adam Henrique also
scored a goal and Troy Terry had
two assists. John Gibson stopped
23 shots.
