ROUNDUP | WEDNESDAY'S OTHERS GAMES



Wild 5, Maple Leafs 3
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Marc Chouinard had two goals for the Minnesota Wild in a much-needed victory over the scuffling Maple Leafs. Kurtis Foster chipped in a power-play score, and slumping Marian Gaborik and Wes Walz also had goals for the Wild, who improved to 17-0-0 in games when they score four or more. Minnesota's Manny Fernandez made 18 saves, including a long rebound with 1:25 left that let Jason Allison pull his team within one on a slap shot. Matt Stajan scored short-handed, and Alexei Ponikarovsky added a power-play goal for the Maple Leafs, whose losing streak reached a season-high four.
Thrashers 5, Stars 2
DALLAS -- Marian Hossa scored twice, including a power-play goal in the final minute of the second period, as Atlanta rallied for its first victory over Dallas. Atlanta, which scored three straight goals during a span of 7:38 in the second period, had lost the first eight all-time meetings with Dallas by a 25-13 margin before the Thrashers' decisive win.
