Wild 4, Islanders 3
UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Marc Chouinard's power-play goal in the final seconds of the second period gave the Minnesota Wild a victory over the Islanders in a game marred by an injury to New York forward Jason Blake. New York's second-leading scorer with 24 points on 13 goals and 11 assists sustained apparent head injuries when he crashed headfirst into the boards. He left the ice on a stretcher and was taken to North Shore University Hospital for tests.
Panthers 7, Predators 3
SUNRISE, Fla. -- Nathan Horton had his first career three-goal game to help the Panthers snap a four-game losing streak. Horton has seven goals in seven games since returning from a knee injury. Gary Roberts added two goals for the Panthers, who won for only the fourth time in their last 22 games. Martin Gelinas and Juraj Kolnik also scored.
Thrashers 7, Red Wings 6
ATLANTA -- Patrik Stefan scored twice, including the go-ahead goal with less than 5 minutes left in the third period, to help the Thrashers beat Detroit for the first time.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Viktor Kozlov and Brian Gionta scored for New Jersey in a shootout and Martin Brodeur stopped Jarret Stoll and Ales Hemsky in the tiebreaker. Richard Matvichuk scored in regulation and Brodeur made 29 saves to help the Devils end a four-game losing steak.

NEW YORK -- Vancouver's Matt Cooke knocked in a rebound with 4:31 left, snapping a tie in his first game since missing 17 with a broken jaw.

Petr Prucha scored twice for the Rangers, who had won their previous five home games.
Hurricanes 5, Blackhawks 3
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Aaron Ward was awarded the tying goal after a video review early in the second period and Matt Cullen put Carolina ahead about a minute later.
