Marco Rossi’s power-play goal 58 seconds into overtime gave the Minnesota Wild a 3-2 come-from-behind win over the Dallas Stars on Sunday in Saint Paul, Minn.
Matthew Boldy had a goal and two assists, Rossi added an assist and Marcus Foligno also scored for the Wild (42-29-7, 91 points), who snapped a four-game losing streak. Filip Gustavsson stopped 23 shots.
Jason Robertson and defenseman Thomas Harley produced the goals for the Stars (50-22-5, 105 points), who lost their second in a row. Dallas’ loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday broke its seven-game winning streak. Jake Oettinger made 38 saves.
Rossi tipped in a shot/pass from Mats Zuccarello, who also played in his 900th game.
Harley tied the game 2-2 for Dallas and sent it into overtime with 6:55 left on a wrist shot from the right point that went in off the leg of Minnesota defenseman Zach Bogosian.
Boldy tied the contest 1-1, 3:08 into the third period when he made a spectacular effort to dive on his knees and swat a puck out of the air from the slot and past Oettinger. It only took 1:52 for Foligno to give Minnesota a 2-1 lead when he put in the rebound of his own tip-in try.
Robertson opened the scoring 5:51 into the game when he scored on a harmless-looking wrist shot from deep in the left circle that snuck past Gustavsson on the short side. It was Robertson’s 34th goal of the season.
No one scored in the second period despite 24 combined shots.
Oettinger denied Gustav Nyquist on a close in chance off the rush a little less than seven minutes into the second period.
Gustavsson thwarted Mikko Rantanen on a point-blank chance from just outside the crease with about eight minutes left in the middle period.
Oettinger stopped Freddy Gaudreau’s one-timer from the slot with 6:20 remaining in the second.
