SAN JOSE, Calf. -- The Minnesota Wild won for the fifth consecutive game, coming from behind yet again in last night's 2-1 victory at San Jose.

Minnesota's Mikko Koivu and Pierre Marc-Bouchard scored goals in the first period to rally from a 1-0 deficit.

Wild goaltender Josh Harding was injured just more than one-minute into the game and was replaced by rookie Matt Hackett, who made his NHL debut. Hackett blocked all 34 shots he saved to notch the win, as neither team found the net in periods two and three. No word on the extent of Harding's injury.

Minnesota will play at the Los Angeles Kings tomorrow night continuing their West Coast road trip.
