COLUMBUS — Marian Gaborik scored twice and Brian Rolston scored a goal in his fifth straight game to lead Minnesota.

Kurtis Foster also scored, Pavol Demitra had two assists and Niklas Backstrom had 33 saves for the Wild, who won their third in a row.

Sharks 3, Blackhawks 2, OT

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Jeremy Roenick scored the winner in the fifth round of the shootout, and Evgeni Nabokov stopped four of Chicago’s five attempts to seal San Jose’s 10th consecutive win over the Blackhawks. Nabokov made 19 saves in regulation for the Sharks, who earned their fourth victory in five games with regulation goals from Jonathan Cheechoo and Marc-Edouard Vlasic. Nikolai Khabibulin, who’s winless in 10 straight appearances since Dec. 26, made 37 regulation saves, but couldn’t prevent Roenick from lifting a shot over his pads in the fifth round. Nabokov then stopped Cameron Barker to win San Jose’s opener in a six-game homestand. Duncan Keith tied it for Chicago early in the third period, moments after Vlasic put the Sharks ahead with his first goal of the season. Patrick Sharp also scored for the Blackhawks, who are winless in four straight.
