VANCOUVER - Justin Fontaines shootout goal gave the Minnesota Wild a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks in NHL action Friday night. Fontaine, Minnesotas seventh shooter, went wide on Canucks goaltender Eddie Lack and slid the puck under him. Wild goaltendTony Pulis admitted that defeat to Norwich was a backward step for his West Brom side, coming on the back of a three-match unbeaten run. Robbie Brady scored the only goal of the game at The Hawthorns for Norwich and the Baggies rarely looked like finding an equaliser as they failed to muster a shot on target in the entire match.West Brom stay in 11th, on 39 points, despite the defeat and are effectively safe from relegation but that did little to take away from the former Stoke managers disappointment. Thats not the point, Pulis told Sky Sports. The point is that every game we play, whether it is against a team struggling at the bottom end or a team at the top, we should be at the same level and today we werent. Paul Merson gives his thoughts on Norwichs 1-0 win over West Brom Asked if the result was a backwards step, Pulis replied: Very much so. You can pick on anyone, you look at the 11 players that started and the ones we brought on and there was no spark, it was just so, so flat after the first 20 minutes.I thought we started okay but we still didnt get enough balls in the box, didnt get enough people in the box. Norwich get the three points and good luck to them.Pulis was also critical of his sides defending for the Norwich goal and the way his side failed to build on a positive start to the match. Norwich boss Alex Neil was happy with his sides 1-0 win away to West Brom. It was a really poor game and it had 0-0 written all over it, Pulis said. When its a scrappy affair like it was today you get really disappointed if you give them a goal and thats what we did, we gave them a goal.It was really poor defending - I know they had a break, a little bit of luck when it comes off the back of Jarvis and drops to the lad [Brady].The way weve played lately, weve played really well, the players have been on top of their game and weve turned up today and after the first 20 minutes it just seemed to drift away from us.

The Canucks outshot the Wild 31-23 with Minnesotas goaltender recording 30 saves and Vancouvers Eddie Lack stopping 22. The Wild scored on one of three power plays while the Canucks were blanked on two, but tallied while shorthanded. Vancouvers Ryan Kesler and Minnesotas Zach Parise exchanged first-period goals. Kesler, who missed Thursdays win over St. Louis with a hand injury and has been the subject of trade speculation, opened the scoring 5:19 into the game while the Canucks were shorthanded. After Chris Higgins forced a turnover just outside the Vancouver blue-line, Kesler raced down left wing and beat Kuemper with a high shot. The goal came while Daniel Sedin was serving a hooking penalty. Minnesota had a goal by former Canucks defenceman Keith Ballard disallowed as officials ruled Mikael Granlund interfered with Lack, but no penalty was necessary.

The Wild only recorded its second shot of the period with 2:59 left, but still managed to force overtime.
