ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Wild are getting comfortable in close games, and good thing, because they got another nail biter Friday night.Eric Staal scored in the sixth round of a shootout and Minnesota beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2.Eighteen of the Wilds 26 contests have been one-goal games, including the last six. Three of those went to a shootout, and one was decided in overtime.If anything, it teaches you how to be calm in a one-goal game, whether youre up a goal or down a goal, whether youre pushing or protecting, Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said.Matt Dumba and Jason Zucker scored in regulation for the Wild, who have won three straight and are 5-1-2 in their last eight games.Minnesotas Devan Dubnyk made 25 saves to improve to 5-0-2 in his last seven games. He has a league-best .946 save percentage and 1.66 goals-against average.Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had goals for the Oilers, whose four-game losing streak began with a 2-1 home overtime loss to the Wild on Sunday.Staal scored on a backhand deke and Nugent-Hopkins couldnt counter in the sixth round.When I had the opportunity and had a chance to go down there, I wanted to make sure I buried it for the group. Because I felt like I shouldve had that one (in overtime), said Staal, who hit a pipe in overtime.Jason Pominville beat Cam Talbot high on the glove side on Minnesotas first shootout attempt, and Draisaitl countered on Edmontons third. Chris Stewart and Jordan Eberle each scored in the fifth round.Edmonton lost 4-3 in overtime Tuesday in Buffalo after the Sabres tied the game in the final 30 seconds of regulation, and allowed three third-period goals to lose 6-5 in Philadelphia on Thursday.For sure the last two games we deserved better, Eberle said. We gave away two points in Philly and for sure one in Buffalo. Tonight, on the back-to-back, I thought it was a gutsy effort for our team.Edmontons Connor McDavid, the league leader with 38 points, was held scoreless for just the fifth time in 14 games. He was also without a point in Sundays loss to Minnesota.We did a good job again tonight, having our forwards come back hard on him so that we could close the gaps and just try and be in his face the whole time and try to take away that time and space, Dumba said. Hes the player of a generation, he can just flip the switch on you, like that. You gotta take five men to contain him.McDavids turnover in the Edmonton end led to Zuckers goal 1:18 into the third period for his third goal in five games. Talbot had 34 saves.Nugent-Hopkins tied it with a power-play goal with 4:39 left when his wrist shot beat a screened Dubnyk. The goal was upheld by video review.Tonight was a good lesson for us that we know that we can bounce back when we need to, Edmonton coach Todd McLellan said.Draisaitl scored his team-leading 13th goal with 55.4 seconds remaining in the first for a 1-0 lead.After a give-and-go with Benoit Pouliot, Draisaitls first shot was stopped by Dubnyk, but he scored on the rebound. The third-line center has goals in three straight games and six goals in the past six games.Dumba snapped an 11-game scoring drought with a wrist shot past a screened Talbot 4:26 into the second to tie the game.

Any time you can do that, its huge for a team, Enechionyia added. Knowing that we can beat anyone, I think thats big for us.Enechionyia scored 18 points in the first half for Temple (4-2) but it was his free throw with 1 second left that sealed the championship for the Owls.Enechionyia was named the Most Outstanding Player of the two-day tournament.Alain Moore II added 18 points for the Owls, while Daniel Dingle finished with 15 and Quinton Rose 12.Esa Ahmad had 19 points for West Virginia (4-1) while Teyvon Myers added 15 and Nathan Adrian and Tarik Phillip had 13 apiece.Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins critique of his teams performance was laced with frustration.We didnt guard, Huggins said. We didnt guard the way were capable of guarding. Our help defense was atrocious. We fouled too much. We didnt make free throws. We missed open shots. We missed 17 layups. Seventeen point-blank shots. We shot 61 percent from the free throw line. We work our butt off to try to get people to turn it over. They turn it over 19 times and we give it back to them 16.Temple led 45-25 at halftime due to two extended stretches in which the Owls held the Mountaineers without a point.Following Phillips layup 1:29 into the game, West Virginia did not score for 5:28 until Adrians layup at 13:09. During that stretch, the Owls outscored the Mountaineers 13-0.

We have consistently shot very, very poorly.West Virginia finished with 16 turnovers while misfiring on 38 of 67 shots from the field.Trailing by 20, West Virginia ratcheted up its trademark press defense in the second half. Phillips drilledd a 3 right in front of the Mountaineers bench that caused Temple coach Fran Dunphy to call time out with 11:31 left, West Virginia was credited with nine forced turnovers in 8 1/2 minutes.ddddddddddddYou knew they were going to make their run, Dunphy said. I didnt anticipate that we were going to have that kind of cushion throughout the second half. I was just hoping it (wouldnt) dissipate as quickly as it did.The timeout did not stem West Virginia as the Mountaineers scored 13 of the next 17 points to take a 65-64 lead. It was their first lead since opening the game on a 7-0 run. A layup by Ahmad made it 67-64.The game was so crazy in the second half. They dont let you run any kind of offense, Dunphy said. It was just a crazed style of game in the second half.But Temple would not go away.The Owls took a 75-71 lead on the strength of an 11-4 run spanning 2:36. Moore made four free throws in the stretch, and Rose added two free throws and a jumper.The final 4:44 saw Moore play a pivotal role.
