Ben Bishop made 21 saves to get the win.
“It was a big focal point going into the third, ‘Let’s win the net-front battle and be in third place,'” Dallas head coach Jim Montgomery said. “Credit to those guys. Our will was great.”
The Stars improved to 26-21-4.
Andrew Cogliano also scored for the Stars.
“It’s good to see him get rewarded because he plays the right way,” Montgomery said. “The shift time is short, but he’s a real good example for all of us with the speed and tenacity that he has.”
Brad Hunt scored the only goal for the Wild.
Minnesota dropped to 26-22-3.
“Now, for the last 31 games, I think that’s what you’re looking at,” Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said. “One mistake here. … Zach [Parise] misses a net where Bishop falls and is out of the net, and they come down and score. And that’s the difference in the game.”

Devan Dubnyk made 29 saves in the loss.
“It’s going to be a grind here. For all of us, it was a close game in a tough building on the road. It’s disappointing to not get the result,” Dubnyk said.
