Wild Dominate Ducks 5-1

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Matt Cullen scored a short-handed goal, Eric Nystrom scored his first career power play goal and the Minnesota Wild beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-1 Friday night.

Mikko Koivu, Kyle Brodziak and Martin Havlat also scored for Minnesota, which had scored just two goals in its last two games.

Corey Perry scored for the Ducks, who lost on the road for the first time in seven games. Anaheim remains three points behind Phoenix in the Pacific Division, and is tied with three other teams for sixth place in the Western Conference standings. The Wild is 10th, one point back.

Koivu left the game after one period with an upper body injury.
