About the Stars: Dallas returns to the road, where it is 2-0 since the All-Star break and 14-8-5 for the season. ... The Stars were humbled 5-1 at home Saturday by the first-place Blackhawks and face them again Thursday in Chicago to wrap up a two-game swing. ... Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin are tied for third in the league with 28 goals entering Monday’s games. Benn is tied for second with 59 points and Seguin is fourth with 56. ... Dallas is 3-1 against Minnesota this season entering the teams’ fifth and final meeting.
About the Wild: Minnesota was in strong playoff position at 20-10-6 to end 2015 but has slumped with only three victories (3-10-3) to begin the new year and is sitting three points out of the West’s second wild card spot entering Monday. ... The Wild gave up three power-play goals in Saturday’s 4-1 loss to St. Louis. ... Defenseman Jared Spurgeon is doubtful with a deep bruise. The Wild is also without Jonas Brodin (broken foot) for three to six weeks and might have to call up a defenseman.
