ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Devan Dubnyk has been one of the best goalies in the NHL lately. Good thing for the Minnesota Wild, too, because they havent provided him with much offense.Dubnyk got a little more help Wednesday night as the Wild earned a 3-1 victory over the road-weary Winnipeg Jets.Mikko Koivu, Jonas Brodin and Zach Parise scored for Minnesota, which has totaled eight goals while going 2-2-1 in the last five games. It was only the second time in 10 games that Minnesota scored at least three.We were able to get enough, said Parise, whose empty-net goal secured the win. Its kind of been the same story: Devan played really well.Dubnyk made 15 saves and has allowed only 13 goals in his last 11 games since Oct. 25, stopping 319 of 332 shots for a 1.20 goals-against average and .961 save percentage. Among goalies to play at least eight games this season, he leads the league with a 1.55 goals-against average, .948 save percentage and four shutouts.Yet he has just eight wins in 15 starts.Hes been great, Brodin said. We feel confident playing in front of him. Hes really good right now.Dubnyk credits his defense.We were great in our end all night. That is what weve been doing, he said.Blake Wheeler scored for Winnipeg, which is 0-4 on a five-game road trip -- its longest of 2016-17. The Jets have been outscored 15-5 during their worst slide of the season.I thought we played with the puck in their zone quite a bit, created some really good looks that their goalie made some big saves on, Wheeler said. The bounces didnt go our way.Koivu scored his first goal in 11 games with 58.7 seconds left in the second period for a 1-0 lead.Behind the net, Jason Zucker won a battle with Josh Morrissey and passed to Koivu alone in front. A wrist shot by the Wild captain beat Connor Hellebuyck.Wheeler thought he tied the game midway through the third when a shot from Toby Enstrom went off his skate and into the net. But a video review showed Winnipeg was offside entering the zone.Brodin made it 2-0 on the power play 79 seconds later when his slap shot from the top of the right circle went off the blade of Brandon Taney and over Hellebuycks blocker. It was the defensemans first power-play goal since Dec. 5, 2013.We were just about an inch shy on just about everything that happened for us tonight, Jets coach Paul Maurice said.Wheeler scored his own power-play goal less than a minute later, swatting home the rebound of a shot by Dustin Byfuglien.In the third period we started to put a few more at (Dubnyks) feet and started to get some into that area, but he did a pretty good job at protecting that house area for sure, Morrissey said.Dubnyk slid across the crease to rob Morrissey with 5 minutes to go in the first period and stopped Mark Scheifele in front in the opening minute of the second.Hes had too many of those big saves lately. That means were having defensive breakdowns, but we know that hes back there and hes going to give us those saves when we need him, Wild forward Jason Zucker said.Game notes Drew Stafford, a 21-goal scorer last season, returned to the Winnipeg lineup after missing 15 games with an upper-body injury.

Brees passed for 202 yards and a touchdown while leading five scoring drives, and the Saints survived a sloppy second half for a 28-20 preseason victory over the Oakland Raiders on Friday night. Toon, a fourth-round pick in 2012 who spend his rookie season on injured reserve, started for Marques Colston, who has been getting extra rest because of an off-season foot injury. Stills started at wideout for the second straight game and hauled in Brees lone scoring strike from 16 yards out. "We asked them to do a lot. They were having to think a lot on the move," Brees said. "They did a great job adjusting to that and played w lot of confidence." Brees completed 78 per cent of his passes (14 of 18), including a 56-yarder to Toon, setting up Mark Ingams 2-yard TD run. On his long catch, Toon beat former Saints cornerback Tracy Porter, who later left the game with a right groin injury. Raiders coach Dennis Allen said that was one of eight injuries -- three of them potentially serious -- for Oakland. In addition to Porter, Allen was particularly concerned about offensive tackle John Wetzels knee injury and tight end David Ausberrys shoulder injury. New Orleans new defence under co-ordinator Rob Ryan thrived, sacking Matt Flynn five times in the first half. "Some of it was different looks, some of it was guys getting beat and some of it was we have to recognize the pressure, find the hot receivers and get the ball out," Allen said, noting that Flynn twice did not see receivers open for potentially big plays. "I cant point to one individual aspect and say that was the issue." The Saints (2-0) led 23-0 before the Raiders (1-1) scored on Flynns lone TD pass, an 18-yarder to Denarius Moore, late in the first half. Flynn was 12 of 16 for 124 yards. "The difference between moving the ball and not moving the ball is just so small," Flynn said. "There are just some things we have to clean up. We know we can do a lot better." The Saints finished with seven sacks. One by linebacker Ramon Humber, who was credited with nine tackles, including a fourth-down stop.dddddddddddd The Saints also registered a safety in the fourth quarter when linebacker Will Herring and numerous teammates swarmed running back Jamize Olawale. Brees, who played most of the first half, was pleased with New Orleans ball control, and the fact that the Saints never punted in the first half, but not with settling for Garrett Hartleys field goals of 53, 31 and 30 yards. "I wish we could have had more points," Brees said. "So theres still work to do." Stills caught four passes for 64 yards, making challenging grabs along the sideline twice, once on his TD. Flynn was back in the stadium where he won a national title with LSU in January 2008. It also was a homecoming of sorts for Allen, a former Saints defensive assistant under Payton for five years. Raiders second-string quarterback Terrelle Pryor completed one of five passes for 9 yards. He also rushed four times for 15 yards. What helped the Raiders make a game of it was poor ball security by New Orleans. Second-year running back Travaris Cadet fumbled twice, resulting in one turnover. Oaklands second touchdown came when defensive end Ryan Robinson recovered Seneca Wallaces fumble, which was forced by David Bass on the 1. Eddy Carmonas 46-yard field goal, which pulled Oakland to 23-17 at the end of the third quarter, was set up by Omar Gaithers interception of Seneca Wallaces tipped pass. "I know it was a preseason game, but we did everything in the second half to allow them a chance to get back in the game," Payton said. "That frustrated me." Wallace, competing with Luke McCown to back up Brees, was three of six passing for 32 yards in five scoreless series. Notes: Allen said other Raiders injuries were: RB Darren McFadden (shoulder), LB Kevin Burnett (knee), CB Joselio Hanson (shoulder), DL Brandon Bair (hamstring) and Carmona (neck, leg). ... The game was the last called by retiring public address announcer Jerry Romig, who has handled those duties since 1969. The 83-year-old signed off by announcing the final score and added, "Its been fun. Good night. Love you." He will be succeeded by his son, Mark in the regular-season opener against Atlanta.
