DALLAS -- Jamie Benn scored 1:23 into overtime to give the Dallas Stars a 3-2 win against the Minnesota Wild at American Airlines Center on Monday.
It was the Stars' first overtime win this season (1-5) and their first since a 3-2 win against the Nashville Predators on Feb. 15, 2015.
"I thought our execution was better, just hanging on to the puck," Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said. "We spent a lot of time on (overtime strategy) through the video and things that we think we can do better. … I even went through a quick review before the overtime started again, just to emphasize points."
