With a 6-on-5 advantage, Kirill Kaprizov scored two goals before a couple of empty-netters gave Dallas a 6-3 victory at Xcel Energy Center, where the few fans remaining booed at the final buzzer, almost as if they've been paying attention.

The Wild has lost eight of its past 10 games to endanger what seemed like a sure playoff spot. Afterward, Evason and three players used the word "fragile" so often they sounded like their business was blowing glass instead of games.
