ST. PAUL, Minn. — If the Wild and Stars meet again this season, it'll be in the playoffs.
As the current top seed in the Central Division, Dallas looks destined to advance, but the Wild have some work to do to shake off their status as a bubble team.
They helped that bid on Friday by shaking off the Stars, 2-1 in a shootout, in front of 19,239 at Xcel Energy Center to avoid another three-game slide and secure just their second victory on this pivotal seven-game homestand that has only two games to go.
