The Minnesota Wild (43-25-10) lost to the Dallas Stars (40-31-8) 4-1 Saturday night in Texas. Despite the loss, the Wild hang on to third place in the Central Division with four regular season games left.

The Wild were down 1-0 after the first, 2-0 after the second, and 3-0 after giving up a shorthanded goal in the third -- before Zach Parise (13) scored a power goal to finally get Minnesota on the board. Dallas would tally an empty-netter to earn the 4-1 win.

The Stars outshot the Wild 36-34, with Minnesota goaltender Devan Dubnyk making 33 saves.
