Vladimir Tarasenko lifts Wild past Stars in Central Division showdown

Saturday's overtime finish saw Tarasenko lift the Minnesota Wild to a 2-1 win over the Dallas Stars, a possible playoff preview.
Against that backdrop, the Wild played without Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek, both listed day-to-day with lower-body injuries, as Bobby Brink set up Tarasenko in overtime.
Filip Gustafsson made 28 saves for Minnesota Wild while Jake Oettinger stopped 26 shots and Jason Robertson scored on a first-period power play, in a game noted as a playoff preview.
The Minnesota Wild sit third in the Central Division, five points behind Dallas Stars and 14 points ahead of Utah State, while Colorado clinched a playoff spot on Friday.
Up next for Dallas: host Vegas on Sunday, then start a three-game road trip Tuesday in Tampa Bay, as the Wild have played 28 overtime games this season.
