Hurricanes 5, Wild 4 (SO): Jussi Jokinen scored the winning goal in the shootout and Carolina beat visiting Minnesota yesterday to end a 14-game winless streak.
Jokinen, the Hurricanes' second shooter in the shootout, went to his backhand and lofted the puck above the glove of Niklas Backstrom. When Michael Leighton stopped Marek Zidlicky on the Wild's final chance, the Hurricanes had their first win since Oct. 9.
