ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Dallas Stars have a high-octane offense that no team in the NHL this season could match.
The Minnesota Wild must at least come close in order to compete in their first-round playoff series.

Interim coach John Torchetti sternly indicated after a lackluster effort in the regular-season finale that players committed to a two-way game would be in the lineup over those who are not.
