The Minnesota Wild staged a remarkable comeback against the Dallas Stars, winning 3-2 in overtime thanks to a wraparound goal by defenseman Brock Faber just 35 seconds into the extra period. The Wild, who trailed by two goals midway through the third, rallied with goals from Jonas Brodin and Marcus Foligno, scoring 57 seconds apart to level the game. Filip Gustavsson was instrumental in the victory, making 27 saves throughout the match.
Dallas had initially taken control of the game with goals from Evgenii Dadonov and Wyatt Johnston, giving them a 2-0 lead after two periods. Goaltender Jake Oettinger, a native of Minnesota, stopped 15 shots but struggled as the game progressed. The Stars faced challenges as they played without forward Mason Marchment, who left the game after being hit in the face by a puck.
Despite missing key players like Kirill Kaprizov, who leads the league with 23 goals, and others due to injuries, the Wild found their momentum in the third period and capitalized on their chances. The Stars, on the other hand, continued to struggle on the power play, failing to convert on three opportunities and maintaining a league-low success rate at home.
