Make It Five in a Row for the Wild

(St. Paul, MN) -- Zach Parise's first goal of December got things rolling early for Minnesota and a quartet of his teammates chipped in during a 5-1 win over Florida last night at the Excel Energy Center.

The Wild, winners of five straight, got 29 saves from Devan Dubnyk
while Erik Haula, Eric Staal, Mikko Koivu and Jason Zucker added
goals.

Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo, who had a dozen saves on 17 shots,
fell to 3-12-3 all-time in Minnesota's home rink. Dylan McIlrath
scored the Panthers' lone goal.

The Wild hit the road to Nashville tomorrow night.  7 o'clock start time.
