The Vancouver Canucks ended their longest home losing streak of the season by taking care of a last-place team and another one visits Sunday. The Minnesota Wild, though, have been successful of late and will try to keep their momentum going in the first of three matchups with the Canucks in 16 days. Vancouver (27-17-3) snapped a three-game slide on its own ice and avoided dropping its third in a row overall with a 5-2 win over Buffalo on Friday. Ryan Miller made 20 saves against his former team, and five different players scored for the Canucks, who totaled three goals in their prior three games. Vancouver scored twice on the power play - matching its total in 28 attempts over the last nine games - but gave up two goals while short-handed after killing off 32 of its prior 35 penalties. It was a big win for us and a lot of guys scored, which can help us in other parts of our game, but I dont think we were pleased with the game overall, forward Henrik Sedin said. The Canucks will try for a more complete performance against the cellar dwellers in the Central Division, but Minnesota (22-20-6) is 4-1-1 in its last six and 3-0-1 in its past four road games. The Wild have a chance to complete a three-game sweep of Western Canada, and theyre three points behind Colorado and Dallas in the division. Devan Dubnyk made 30 saves in a 1-0 win over Calgary on Thursday, his second shutout in six games with Minnesota after being acquired from Arizona on Jan. 14. Zach Parise scored the lone goal, giving him six in his last six games. I was happy with the way my game was in Arizona so I wanted to really concentrate on sticking with the same things I was doing there that was helping me be successful there, said Dubnyk, 4-1-0 with a 1.66 goals-against average for the Wild. While with the Coyotes, Dubnyk stopped 35 shots in a 5-0 win in Vancouver on Nov. 14 and gave up three goals on 29 shots in relief in a 7-1 drubbing at Rogers Arena on Dec. 22. The Wild will face their former Northwest Division rivals three times in the next eight games and return to Vancouver to finish that stretch on Feb. 16. Certainly, well have the opportunity to get very familiar with each other again, coach Mike Yeo said. New coach for them but a lot of the same players and a lot of the same rivalry still exists. I think theyre having a great season. Were looking forward to the challenge. If its unknown if Yeo will have star defenseman Ryan Suter available for the first meeting this season with Vancouver. Suter, who reportedly has a lower-body injury, did not practice Saturday in Vancouver, and Justin Fontaine is out due to a groin injury suffered in Thursdays victory. Fontaine had the shootout winner in Minnesotas most recent visit to the Canucks, a 2-1 victory Feb. 28. The Wild have won their last two games there after losing 11 in a row. Vancouver snapped a four-game overall skid in the series with a 5-2 win in Minnesota on March 26. Parise has four goals and one assist in his last five matchups with Vancouver, and Charlie Coyle has three goals in his past four. Swell Nederland Kopen . The Mets made the announcement Sunday night.

Corey Perry scored with 2:25 remaining in the third period on Sunday night and Anaheim edged Columbus 4-3, ending the Blue Jackets three-game winning streak. An intended pass by Columbus Dalton Prout to his defensive partner caromed hard off the back boards into the slot to Perry, who wristed a shot over a sprawled Sergei Bobrovsky. "It was just one of those ones where it takes a weird hop and came right to me," Perry said, converting his sixth season of the season. "If it didnt go in I probably would have had to hear about it from the bench." The Ducks lost Koivu late in the second period on a hit that resulted in the ejection of Columbus Brandon Dubinsky. Koivu, who had just passed the puck crossing into the Columbus zone, took a blow and had to be helped from the ice. He did not return. Dubinsky said he didnt have any malicious intent and was just trying to read the play. "I think my shoulder and elbow were tucked," he said. "Its a fast game. Im not a dirty player. I think I play the game honest. I went out there to try to make a body check, not injure Koivu or make a dirty hit." Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau wanted to see the play in slow motion before getting too emotional. "Im sure it will be discussed by a lot of people," he said. "It does me no good stating thoughts and things like that. Well see what happens." Artem Anisimov scored twice, rebounding from a hard first-period check by Francois Beauchemin, and Blake Comeau scored his first of the season for Columbus, which finished a four-game homestand at 3-1. Bobrovsky, last seasons Vezina Trophy winner, stopped 28 of 32 shots. Ryan Getzlaf, Peter Holland and Emerson Etem scored for Anaheim. Anaheim is playing the fourth of an eight-game road trip. The Ducks improved to 2-2 on the trip after starting the season winning seven of their first eight games. Roookie Frederik Anderson made 18 saves to improve to 3-0 on the season.dddddddddddd Tied at 2, the Ducks began the third period on a five-minute major power play with Dubinsky sent off. Anaheims struggling power play ranked last in the league took advantage with Etem stuffing home the rebound of a Teemu Selanne shot at 1:51 of the third for his second of the season. "We did absolutely need it because I thought that was going to be a complete game changer if we didnt score on that power play," Boudreau said. Columbus kept plugging away and Anisimov made it 3-3 with his fourth of the season at 8:24, redirecting James Wisniewskis point shot. "(Losing Dubie) definitely hurt us but other guys stepped up," Blue Jackets left wing Nick Foligno said. "They scored on the power play and we found a way to get one. It seemed like the game was headed to overtime." Comeau opened the scoring at 12:56 of the first period. Anaheim pulled even 19 seconds into the second period with Getzlaf, on a nifty behind-the-back pass from Perry, zipping a low shot from the right dot for his fifth of the season. Holland made it 2-1 at 6:59, throwing an off-angle shot from near the left end line that squeezed inside the near post past Bobrovsky. The Blue Jackets, who didnt register their first shot of the period until midway through, scored a short-handed goal for the second game in a row to get back in it. Cam Fowler bobbled the puck and Dubinsky stole it and sent Anisimov on a breakaway. He deked Anderson to make 2-2 at 12:12. "The guys stuck together and battled right to the end," Etem said. "It was a huge win." NOTES: Columbus next game is Friday at Pittsburgh to start a home-and-home series with the Penguins. ... The Ducks continue their road trip Tuesday in Philadelphia. ...
