Charlie Coyle scored the tiebreaking goal with 4:23 remaining to lift the Minnesota Wild to a 2-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.

Nino Niederreiter also scored for the Wild, who snapped a two-game skid and have only three wins in their last 11 games.

Boyd Gordon scored for the Oilers, who snapped a rare two-game winning streak and dropped to 3-20-8 this season against fellow Western Conference opponents.

On the winning goal, Jordan Eberle lost the puck on a drop pass and Coyle went in on a breakaway. He waited for Oilers goalie Viktor Fasth to commit, then tucked the puck behind him on his way behind the net. It was Coyle's fifth goal of the season.
