Wild update: The Wild (19-8-2) practiced on Sunday before leaving for Dallas, and everyone participated except D Jared Spurgeon. The captain reaggravated his recent lower-body injury Thursday vs. Buffalo, and although Spurgeon won't require surgery, coach Dean Evason said, this isn't a short-term issue, and it will keep Spurgeon sidelined vs. the Stars. LW Jordan Greenway left practice early for a second consecutive session. Evason said Greenway would receive treatment and expected him to travel to Dallas before being re-evaluated Monday.
Stars update: Dallas (14-12-2) ended a five-game losing streak on Saturday with a 4-3 overtime win over Chicago. RW Joe Pavelski tied a career high with four points (two goals, two assists). The 37-year-old leads the Stars in scoring with 26 points in 28 games. Dallas was crushed 7-2 by the Wild on Nov. 18 at Xcel Energy Center. At home, the Stars are 5-2 over their past seven matchups vs. the Wild.
After letting 135-footer bounce in early, Fleury steadied himself in 5-3 victory.
