The Wild's nine-game point streak suddenly feels like a distant memory after the team suffered a second consecutive regulation loss Monday night, falling 6-3 to the Dallas Stars at the Xcel Energy Center.
The Western Conference-leading Stars erased the Wild's early 2-0 lead with four straight goals, deflating a sellout crowd in St. Paul.
The Stars took a lead late in the second period courtesy of a trio of goals within 4 minutes, 30 seconds of one another, building a lead they didn't relinquish.
Nino Niederreiter cut the Wild's deficit to 4-3 midway through the third period, but the Wild failed to tie the scored after that.
