Wild halt 11-game road losing streak (AP)

Minnesota Wild right wing Nick Johnson (25) and Colorado Avalanche defenseman Ryan Wilson (44) tangle in the second period of their NHL hockey game on Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2012, in Denver.

Carson McMillan broke a tie midway through the third period after stealing the puck at center ice and Niklas Backstrom stopped 24 shots as the Minnesota Wild broke out of their road funk with a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night. Justin Falk scored his first NHL goal and Dany Heatley added another for the Wild, who halted an 11-game winless streak away home.
