Back in net for the first time in five games, Minnesota Wild

goaltender Devan Dubynk had little time to settle in before facing a penalty shot.

Dubnyk stopped an old teammate [url=http://www.officialmlbrangersshop.com/authentic-18-mithch-moreland-jersey.h... 49 seconds in, then Mikko Koivu and the rest of the Wild took any further pressure off Dubnyk.

Dubnyk made 21 saves in his return to action after missing four games with a groin strain. Koivu had two goals and an assist, scoring for the third straight game, for Minnesota in a 5-2 win over the New York Rangers on Thursday night.

''It's not ideal,'' Wild coach Mike Yeo said of the early penalty shot. ''He hasn't been in the net for a while and we spot them a [url=http://www.officialmlbrangersshop.com/authentic-30-neftali-feliz-jersey.htm... shot early in the game. So, welcome back. But obviously that's a huge save for us.''

The Wild allowed just five shots by the Rangers in the first, however, and Matt Dumba, Jason Pominville and Chris Porter also tallied for Minnesota, which earned a point in its ninth straight game (6-0-3).

New York lost starting goaltender Antti Raanta in the first period when he was hit in the forehead area of his facemask by a slap shot from Wild defenseman Marco Scandella. Raanta allowed one goal on four shots in 6 minutes, 11 seconds.

Vigneault said Raanta has a head injury and the team will call up a goaltender for Friday's game at Winnipeg.

Henrik Lundqvist relieved Raanta and stopped 27 of 31 shots.

''I didn't face so much in the first, so that was good,'' Lundqvist said. ''But it's awfully tough [url=http://www.officialbluejaysstore.com/authentic-24-ricky-romero-jersey.html]... come in like that. In the first, after that, I think you're in it. I played good in the second but in the third I just need to be better. That fourth one's a killer and I know that comes down to focus and I was surprised by the shot.''

New York defenseman Keith Yandle got the penalty shot, but Dubnyk made a glove save on the attempt. The two played together last season in Arizona.
