Mats Zuccarello had a goal and an assist, and the Minnesota Wild rallied for a 5-4 win over the visiting New York Rangers in the shootout round Saturday night in St. Paul, Minn.
Ryan Hartman, Joel Eriksson Ek and Marco Rossi also scored in regulation time for Minnesota, which snapped a four-game losing streak.

Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 13 of 14 shots in regulation and overtime to earn the win. Fleury stymied Rangers forward Vincent Trocheck in the shootout round to end the game.
Rangers goaltender Jonathan Quick stopped 36 of 40 shots in regulation and overtime. Quick gave up a decisive goal against Wild forward Matt Boldy in the shootout round.
