BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Josh Harding made 43 saves, and Andrew Ebbett, Guillaume Latendresse and Andrew Brunette scored to help the slumping Minnesota Wild beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on Friday night.

Harding, making his second straight start for the injured Niklas Backstrom, has won both of his lifetime starts against the Sabres, allowing just three goals combined over those two games. The Wild snapped a 4-game winless streak and ended the Sabres' 3-game winning streak with their fourth straight victory in Buffalo.

Thomas Vanek scored twice for Buffalo.
