KEY GAME INFORMATION
DALLAS: LAST SEASON: 40-31-11, 91 points, 5th Central Division. Made Western Conference playoffs as wild card, lost first-round playoff series in six games to top-seeded Anaheim.
COACH: Lindy Ruff, 2nd season with Stars, 40-31-11; 17th season overall in NHL, was 571-432-162 in Buffalo.
ADDED: C Jason Spezza, RW Ales Hemsky; G Anders Lindback, RW Patrick Eaves.
LOST: RW Alex Chiasson, D Aaron Rome, LW Ray Whitney.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jamie Benn. In his first season as the Stars captain, the 25-year-old Canadian ranked eighth in the NHL with 79 points and ninth with 34 goals. Both were career highs, as was his plus-21 rating. Benn has increasingly accepted his role as a leader on a team filled with plenty of 20-something players, and is part of a dynamic scoring line with Tyler Seguin.
OUTLOOK: With the experience of a hard-fought first-round series in their first season under veteran Ruff, the Stars expect to do more than just make the playoffs this time around. That is a reasonable goal with their added scoring punch. With Benn and Seguin on the front line, the Stars will have another line with 31-year-old former Ottawa teammates Spezza and Hemsky likely together.
MINNESOTA: LAST SEASON: 46-28-8, 100 points. Fourth place in Central Division. Lost to Chicago Blackhawks in Western Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike Yeo (fifth season, 146-107-33).
ADDED: LW Chris Porter, D Mike Reilly.
LOST: C Kyle Brodziak, LW Matt Cooke, RW Chris Stewart, LW Sean Bergenheim, D Jordan Leopold.
PLAYER TO WATCH: LW Thomas Vanek. His debut with the Wild was a disappointment with 21 goals, a career low for a non-lockout season. He didn't score in 10 playoff games. The 31-year-old Vanek will start on the third line, with rookie Tyler Graovac at center and Charlie Coyle on the other wing. Vanek played through injuries (hernia, groin), frequently found himself with new linemates and attempted fewer shots than ever. Vanek has cited a necessity to create more of his own scoring chances than he was used to with his former teams in the Eastern Conference.
OUTLOOK: The Wild went 28-9-3 over their final 40 games, the best record in the NHL from mid-January through the end of the regular season, and they beat the Central Division champion St. Louis Blues in six games to advance to the second round for the second year in a row. The problem was, and still is, the Blackhawks, who have won three of the last six Stanley Cup titles. With the current division alignment and postseason system, the Wild will likely have to get past the Blackhawks if they ever want to make a deep run in the playoffs. For the Wild to take that next step, Devan Dubnyk will have to up to the task of being the No. 1 goalie for the entire season, stalwart defenseman Ryan Suter needs to bounce back from a down year and somebody beside Zach Parise is going to have to pass the 25-goal mark.
PREVIEW
Stars-Wild Preview
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer

The Minnesota Wild spent most of the last three weeks losing on the road, but are now in danger of setting a franchise mark for home futility.

Playing their first post-All-Star break game at the Xcel Energy Center, the reeling Wild try to avoid a club-record sixth consecutive home defeat Tuesday night against the Dallas Stars.

Minnesota (23-20-9) went 0-1-2 against Dallas this season before a 2-1 victory Jan. 9. The Wild have since totaled 17 non-shootout goals while going 1-9-1. They've played seven of the last eight on the road and dropped their fifth in a row overall, 4-1 at St. Louis on Saturday to conclude a three-game trip.

"It's frustrating," forward Jason Pominville, who has two points in 19 games, told the Wild's official website.

Minnesota plays its next three at home, where it has managed seven goals during a 0-3-2 slide that's left them in danger of making history for the wrong reason.

"We're going to turn this around; that's where our focus is right now," Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher said before Saturday's defeat. "This group, the coaches and players have won a lot of games, they know what it takes, and I'm looking to our leadership group right now to step up ... I'm looking for the players to play the right way and I'm confident that we'll get there."

Despite the outcome in St. Louis, the Wild felt they made some positive strides by scoring a power-play goal in their third consecutive contest and recording a club-record 24 shots in the second period.

"We obviously would have liked to get one or two more there," coach Mike Yeo said. "If we recognize that and we see what we put into the game (Saturday), and bring that back home with us, then we'll have a chance to get this turned around."

Minnesota has killed all 13 penalties over the last six home games, but allowed the Blues to convert three of their six chances with the man-advantage.

Dallas (33-15-5) is 3 for 10 on the power Minnesota this season but went 0 for 6 and yielded two short-handed goals in Saturday's 5-1 home loss to Chicago. The Stars had won three in a row and totaled nine goals in the previous two contests.

"We just kind of laid an egg," forward Vernon Fiddler told the Stars' official website. "It's unacceptable."

Antti Niemi was pulled after allowing three goals on 11 shots for Dallas, which gets another crack at the Western Conference-leading Blackhawks on Thursday in Chicago.

"This was just a total team loss, really," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "We needed a couple saves, and there'd be a couple you'd like back when they're going through you, some tough-angle ones went in. But this one's on the team."

Niemi has a 3.84 goals-against average while going 2-1-0 in February, but owns a 2.08 GAA and the same record against Minnesota in 2015-16.

Jamie Benn has three goals and eight assists during a seven-game point streak against the Wild.

Minnesota All-Star Devan Dubnyk made 34 saves at Dallas in last month's win, but is 0-7-1 since and has a 4.41 GAA while losing all three February starts in regulation.

Teammate Zach Parise has no points in three games against the Stars this season, and only one of his team-leading 17 goals in the last 10 contests.
