ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Joel Eriksson Ek had a goal and an assist, including the game-winning score early in the third period, and the Minnesota Wild capped a successful season-opening road trip with a 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night. Eriksson Ek ripped a quick wrist shot past Ryan Miller's glove side off a pass from Jordan Greenway 1:53 into the third for his second goal of the season and the eighth game-winning goal of his career. The win is the third in four games for Minnesota, which is part of the reconfigured West Division this season.
Nicolas Deslauriers and Cam Fowler scored, and Ryan Miller stopped 29 shots, but the Ducks fall short against the Minnesota Wild 3-2.
