ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Zach Parise had a goal and two assists, Mikael Granlund scored the go-ahead goal on a power play early in the second period and Darcy Kuemper made 31 saves for the Minnesota Wild in a 4-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night. Jason Pominville and Erik Haula also scored for the Wild, who are 9-3-1 in their last 13 games after ending December with six straight losses. Kuemper is 6-2-1 with a 1.85 goals-against average in nine starts since getting recalled from the minors on Jan. 2. Back indoors following their 3-0 victory at Dodger Stadium over the Kings on Saturday, the Ducks lost for only the fourth time in their last 25 games after coming in an NHL-best 39-10-5. Dustin Penner and Mathieu Perreault scored for Anaheim, and Jonas Hiller stopped 29 shots. After going 0 for 21 on the power play in its previous eight games, Minnesota took a 2-1 lead 13 seconds into the second period while Penner was off for slashing Jonas Brodin. Granlund cruised down the slot and redirected Parises cross-ice feed past Hillers stick for his fourth goal. Both of Minnesotas third-period goals came on deflections of shots by defenceman Marco Scandella from the left point -- one by Parise with 13:25 remaining, the other by Haula with 10:39 to play. Pominville opened the scoring at 7:57 of the first with his 21st of the season, banking the puck in off Hillers left leg from behind the net after Granlunds one-timer from the high slot was blocked by Matt Beleskey. Penner tied it at 18:13 with his 13th goal, beating Kuemper high to the glove side with a one-timer from the left circle after Ryan Getzlaf set him up from behind the net. But Penner went to the penalty box just 19 seconds later, setting up the power play that resulted in Granlunds goal. Defenceman Luca Sbisa returned to the Ducks lineup for the first time since Nov. 22 after missing 29 games because of a torn tendon in his right hand, and picked up the first two penalties of the game -- both for hooking in the opening period. The Ducks got their first power-play opportunity at 7:34 of the second after a holding call against Mike Rupp, but looked as though they were the ones who were short-handed. Hiller stoned Matt Cooke on a 5-foot wrist shot to the glove side, and the Wild had a 2-on-1 moments later before Ryan Suters 40-foot wrist shot from the left circle slid just wide of the right post. Anaheim began an 11-game stretch in which all but one will be on home ice, including five straight at Honda Center coming out of the Olympic break.

Machado hurt himself on an awkward swing against the New York Yankees on Aug. 11, crumpling to the ground in the batters box. He tried rest in an effort to return to the AL East-leading Orioles this year, but he said the knee just isnt getting better. "Theres nothing else we can do," Machado said before Baltimores game at the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. "Only thing is going in there and fixing it up. Its just something it didnt get any better at all." The 22-year-old Machado, who was selected by Baltimore with the third overall pick in the 2010 draft, was an All-Star and won a Gold Glove last year in his first full season in the majors. He played in every game before he sustained a similar injury to his other knee and missed the final week of the season. He got his left knee fixed last October in California, and he likely will return to Dr. Neal ElAttrache in the next week or so for the procedure on his right knee. The previous operation included an arthroscopy and open reconstruction of the medial patellar femoral ligament. "Ideally, youd like players to be healthy for the whole season and Manny hadnt been able to get through the first ttwo full campaigns," said Dan Duquette, the vice-president of baseball operations for the Orioles.dddddddddddd "So hopefully these surgeries will address the issue so that when he comes back he will be able to see it through the whole season." Machado did not play in a regular-season game this year until May 1. He hit .278 with 12 home runs and 32 RBIs in 82 games. Its a difficult blow for the Orioles, who are in prime position for their first division title since 1997. They had an eight-game lead over the New York Yankees heading into Saturdays games. "I dont get into that Woe is me, the Earth is shaking and the sky is falling, you cant get into that mentality," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. "We played 50 games without him." Slugger Chris Davis got the start at third on Saturday. Jonathan Schoop and Ryan Flaherty also have played the position this year for Baltimore. Duquette did not rule out bringing in someone to help make up for Machados absence, but acknowledged that the pool of available players was thin and indicated he believes the best options are currently on the roster. "The thing about the team and on behalf of the Orioles, weve been able to field a very competitive team this year in spite of our injuries," Duquette said. "And our team has been competitive because players step up." ' ' '
