Sat Dec 28 00:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Wild Look to Bounce Back Against Stars in Dallas
**DALLAS, TX** – The Minnesota Wild (21-10-4, 44 points), riding high after snapping a four-game losing streak with goaltender Filip Gustavsson’s return, face a tough test tonight against the Dallas Stars (19-13-2, 38 points) at American Airlines Center. The Central Division rivals clash with the Wild currently holding second place and the Stars in fourth.
Gustavsson’s return proved crucial, as his strong performance in the previous game helped end Minnesota’s longest losing streak of the 2024-25 season. The Wild will aim to continue their momentum against a Stars team that took the first meeting between the two clubs, winning 2-1 in St. Paul on November 16th.
That game saw Kirill Kaprizov score for Minnesota, while Mason Marchment tallied both goals for Dallas. Both goaltenders performed well, with Gustavsson stopping 38 of 40 shots and Jake Oettinger turning aside 22 of 23.
The Wild have a losing all-time record against the Stars (37-41-13, 13-25-8 in Dallas), making tonight’s game a crucial test of their playoff aspirations. For the latest roster updates, visit wild.com/transactions.
