MINNEAPOLIS

Jason Pominville and Erik Haula each had a goal and two assists, and the Wild celebrated the first outdoor game in franchise history with a victory over the Blackhawks. In front of a crowd of 50,426 at TCF Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota campus with an ideal faceoff temperature of 35 degrees, the Wild turned the NHL’s 17th edition of open-air hockey into a romp past their postseason nemesis and primary rival. The Blackhawks pulled goalie Corey Crawford for Scott Darling after 19 saves in two periods.

NEW YORK

Kevin Klein scored on a 2-on-1 break at 1:59 of overtime and New York spoiled a magnificent effort by Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard. Henrik Lundqvist made 22 saves in his fourth shutout and helped the Rangers win for the seventh time in nine games (7-1-1). Howard stopped 29 shots as the Red Wings lost their sixth straight road game, their longest skid since March 2012.

ANAHEIM, CALIF.

Ryan Kesler had two goals and an assist, John Gibson made 22 saves and Anaheim returned from a long road trip to beat Calgary for its fifth consecutive victory. Anaheim captain Ryan Getzlaf extended his point streak to eight games with a third-period goal for the streaking Ducks, who have won 12 of 14 to improve to 19-4-2 since Christmas. Anaheim also trimmed Los Angeles’ lead to two points atop the Pacific Division.
