    Niklas Backstrom has been on the short end of more shootouts than not, one blemish on an otherwise-stellar record for the Minnesota Wild goalie since he joined the team five years ago.

    After watching Nikolai Khabibulin turn away shot after shot in regulation on the other end, Backstrom stepped up and refused to lose this one.

    Devin Setoguchi scored in the fourth round of the shootout, spoiling a strong night by Khabibulin for the Oilers and sending the Wild to a 2-1 victory Thursday.
