The Stars are in a great home ambush spot here. Dallas has been idle the past two days, while the Wild is playing for the fifth time in eight days and third time in four days. This is Minnesota's first road matchup in five games and the Wild go right back home to host the Blues on Thursday.

Dallas nearly beat the Capitals in its last game losing in overtime. The Stars' offense could be coming around with 20 goals in their last six games. The Stars have revenge here for 5-4 home loss to Minnesota 10 days ago.

Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk is having a great season, but historically has struggled against Dallas.
