Wild looks to extend winning streak to nine games

Mar 24, 2007 - 2:38 PM Los Angeles (26-35-14) at Minnesota (44-24-7)) 8:00 pm EDT

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (Ticker) -- The Minnesota Wild seek to extend their eight-game winning streak when they host the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.

Marian Gaborik had two goals and an assist and Pavol Demitra also tallied in Minnesota's 5-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Thursday.

Selected third overall in the 2000 draft, Gaborik has recorded five goals and seven assists during a seven-game point streak.

Wild rookie goaltender Niklas Backstrom, who has started seven games during the streak, stopped 22 shots in Thursday's win to help his club climb within one point of first-place Vancouver (45-23-6) in the Northwest Division.

The Kings won the opener of their three-game road swing Friday with a 2-1 triumph at Chicago as Mathieu Garon made 26 saves.

Los Angeles has lost all three meetings against Minnesota, which is 19-4-3 since the All-Star break.
