The Phoenix Coyotes ended a four-game slide as Daymond Langkow scored
his second goal of the game with 2:22 remaining for a 3-2 victory
over the Minnesota Wild, who were denied a team-record third straight
shutout.

Langkow capped his second two-goal effort of the season when he
stormed through the slot and put a rebound of Ladislav Nagy's shot
off the crossbar and past goaltender Manny Fernandez.

Just 70 seconds after Cliff Ronning's 11th goal gave the Wild a 2-1
lead, Langkow flipped a backhander over Manny Fernandez at 1:49 of
the second period.

The Coyotes scored just one goal in the previous six periods and were
facing a Minnesota team that carried a shutout streak of 129 minutes,
39 seconds.

But Daniel Briere ended the streak 4:13 into the opening period,
scoring a power-play goal just 38 seconds after Richard Park's
shorthanded tally gave the Wild a 1-0 lead.

Brian Boucher stopped 11 shots for Phoenix after Zac Bierk suffered a
groin injury late in the second period.
