John Gibson made 37 saves for his second shutout of the season, Adam Henrique and Rickard Rakell scored 11 seconds apart in the first period and the Anaheim Ducks snapped a franchise-record 12-game losing streak by beating the Minnesota Wild 3-0.

The Wild have acquired center Victor Rask from the Carolina Hurricanes for left wing Nino Niederreiter, in a swap of underperforming but still-young players on long-term contracts.

The 25-year-old Rask has one goal and five assists in 26 games this season for the Hurricanes. He’s in the third year of a six-year, $24 million deal. The 26-year-old Niederreiter has nine goals and 14 assists in 46 games this season for the Wild. He’s in the second year of a five-year, $26.25 million deal.
