KRANJSKA GORA, Slovenia -- Frida Hansdotters wait for her first World Cup victory after eight second places finally ended Sunday, in good time for the Sochi Olympics. The 28-year-old Hansdotter won on a soft course in heavy snow after American teen Mikaela Shiffrin failed to hold on to her opening-run lead. Hansdotter, who trailed Shiffrin by 0.31 seconds going into the final run, finished in an overall time of 1 minute, 50.17 seconds. Shiffrin dropped to seventh after getting stuck in a rut early in her final run. "Most of the time Ive finished just behind Mikaela Shiffrin, she is just so good. But I knew that some day, it would be my day," Hansdotter said. "Now I am looking forward to the Olympics. I want to leave Sochi with a medal around my neck." Austrian sisters Marlies and Bernadette Schild were second and third, coming 0.05 and 0.15 behind respectively. The last racer on the visibly deteriorating course, Shiffrin caught a hole in the snow early in the run and was thrown forward. She recovered but, having lost her pace, ended up 0.72 behind Hansdotter. Shiffrins chance to retain her World Cup season title even before the Olympics was already gone before her final run as both Hansdotter and Marlies Schild had secured podium spots by then. Shiffrin saw her 144-point lead over Hansdotter in the slalom standings reduced to 80 points, 438 to 358. Marlies Schild is third with 325 points. The event was moved from Maribor because of a lack of snow there, but the Podkoren course in Kranjska Gora had been softened by days of rain and snowfall. The unfavourable weather conditions forced organizers to cancel a GS on the same course Saturday. "To ski that good when conditions are so hard is great," Hansdotter said. "Normally I am not at my best on soft snow. On a course like this, you can only just go for it." Marlies Schild, a four-time World Cup slalom champion, called it a "run in hell." "It made me nervous," the Austrian said. "The next race is at the Olympics, I am now really fired up for that." Shiffrin overcame the tough conditions earlier to post the fastest first-run time. The 18-year-old slalom world champion was chasing her third straight win and fourth of the season. "It was not great conditions but it was better conditions for me than for the girls coming down later," Shiffrin said, who was the third starter in the opening run. The American had one mistake in the steep middle section but quickly recovered. Olympic slalom champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch, who leads the overall standings, came 2.25 back in 23rd and criticized the conditions. "I saw already at inspection this morning that the course is very bad," the German skier said between runs. "We knew they would push through this race today at all costs, which is questionable for me so shortly before the Olympics ... The snow broke and with my start No. 7 there were already some big holes." Austrian Kathrin Zettel, who was seventh after the opening run but failed to finish her second, said "Nobody is feeling well here ... Its a very tough race." Hoefl-Riesch still extended her lead as her closest competitors dont compete in slalom. After 24 races, Hoefl-Riesch has 1,079 points, 136 clear of Liechtensteins Tina Weirather. Anna Fenninger of Austria is third with 871 points. Defending overall champion Tina Maze failed to finish her second run after already having struggled for most of her first run and coming in 19th in front of her home crowd. After the Sochi Olympics, the womens World Cup continues with a downhill and a super-combined event in Crans Montana, Switzerland, on March 1-2. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Jan-Oblak-Jersey/ .

PAUL, Minn. - The Boston Bruins needed a win like this. Well, any win, really.Loui Erikssons goal 1:30 into overtime gave Boston a 3-2 win over Minnesota on Wednesday night, only the second victory for the Bruins in eight games and the fourth loss for the Wild in the past six.Carl Soderberg, who set up the winner with a cross-crease pass in front of Wild defenceman Marco Scandella, scored in the first period for the Bruins. So did Patrice Bergeron, on a send-it-at-the-net shot just across the blue line that knuckled in front of Niklas Backstrom and skipped past the goalies blocker.That was the kind of lucky bounce the Bruins have been lacking lately.You know what? Its time we got a break, coach Claude Julien said.Niklas Svedberg made 35 saves for the Bruins in just his second start in 11 games to give a rest to Tuukka Rask, who lost in shootouts on Tuesday at Nashville and on Saturday against Ottawa.He was great. He definitely made some huge saves, Bergeron said.Especially in the second period, when the Wild outshot the Bruins a whopping 20-5 without a score to show for it. They had a 5-on-3 advantage for 62 seconds but managed only one shot, and coach Mike Yeo was upset with the power play afterward. The Wild are third-to-last in the NHL, with a 12.3 per cent success rate.Weve got to stop losing, said an unusually downcast Zach Parise.Kyle Brodziak scored early and Jason Pominville tied the game for the Wild with 8:21 remaining in regulation when a failed clear of the rebound of Ryan Suters shot gave Suter the puck back for a pass that ping-ponged off Pominvilles foot.Kyle Brodziak also had a goal for the Wild, but Backstrom was beaten in the net for the second straight night. He stopped 22 shots and wished he had the one by Bergeron back.I feel stupid to let in a goal like that. I think it was going to the corner and just hit the ice, bounced up, changed direction, went into the net, Backstrom said.Backstroom played through a stomach illness at Chicago on Tuesday, giving up four goals on 38 shots in the 5-3 loss.dddddddddddd He replaced starter Darcy Kuemper, who came down with a similar sickness a few hours before faceoff.With Kuemper still ailing, a less-than-full-strength Backstrom was backed up by John Curry, an emergency call-up from the Wilds AHL affiliate. Josh Harding was recently sent to Iowa to get back in game shape after breaking his foot before the season, but he is unavailable because complications from multiple sclerosis have arisen.Pominville said he has seen a decrease in confidence lately among his teammates, and the coach agreed.If it wasnt enough, were better than that. Lets be even better next game, Yeo said. We did a lot of good things. We hit three posts. We made a play to tie up the game. But we can still do a little bit more, and that has to be our mindset.The Bruins activated centre David Krejci, who had a team-high 69 points last season but missed 17 of the previous 19 games because of a lower-body injury, from the injured list and had him skate with Seth Griffith and Milan Lucic.Julien said he thought Krejci played well, in part because he was unscarred by the recent struggles while being held out of action. His return also helped better balance the lines.Weve played some games where weve worked really hard and havent gotten the results we wanted, Svedberg said. Obviously its a great feeling for us to get a win. Weve just got to build off it.NOTES: The Wild have ruled out the mumps with Backstrom and Kuemper and defenceman Jared Spurgeon, who returned from a two-game absence. ... Soderberg scored for the first time in 16 games since Nov. 10. Bergerons goal was his first in 12 games since Nov. 18. ... Backstrom fell to 5-0-2 in seven starts against the Bruins. ... The Wild dropped to 12-2-2 against the Bruins. ... Eriksson has 29 points in 31 career games against the Wild.
