Wild Blow Big Lead But Win in OT

DALLAS (AP) — Marco Scandella scored the winning goal 2:04 into overtime, after Thomas Vanek 

pulled Minnesota even late in regulation, and the Wild beat the Dallas Stars 5-4 after blowing a three-goal lead on Friday night.

Scandella poked a loose puck past Kari Lehtonen from close range to hand the Stars their eighth straight overtime loss at home.

Minnesota improved to 6-0 against Central Division teams, and Dallas remained winless at 0-6-2 in the division.

The Stars came up short in what would have been their biggest comeback since rallying from 3-0 to beat Chicago 4-3 in a shootout on Feb. 11, 2011, according to STATS.

Vanek's tying goal came with 1:52 left in regulation from the right circle on assists from Ryan Suter and Zach Parise, his second assist of the game.
