Marcus Johansson netted a pair of goals and Matt Boldy scored once in a three-point outing as the Minnesota Wild erased a pair of deficits to beat the Dallas Stars 5-2 on Thursday in Saint Paul, Minn.

Joel Eriksson Ek collected one goal and one assist while Zach Bogosian added a goal for the Wild, who have won two consecutive games.

Minnesota’s Vladimir Tarasenko netted two assists and goaltender Filip Gustavsson made 16 saves.

Miro Heiskanen produced a goal and an assist for the Stars, who saw their four-game winning streak snapped and lost in regulation for the first time in 12 games. Jason Robertson also tallied, and Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger stopped 27 shots.

With the score knotted at 2-2, Johansson gave the Wild their first lead of the game at 8:40 of the final frame. Boldy fired a pass across the slot and Johansson buried a one-timer for his second game-winning goal in as many games.

Boldy and Johansson added empty-net goals in the final minutes.

Despite Minnesota holding the early edge and holding a 9-0 edge in shots, Robertson opened the scoring on the power play with his team’s first shot at 9:32 of the game. Upon being fed the puck at the point, Robertson fired a shot at the top of the left circle that ricocheted off a defender and into the net for his 20th goal of the campaign.

Eriksson Ek responded at 16:10 when he pounced on a loose puck in the crease after Boldy’s sharp-angled offering was denied.

Heiskanen put Dallas ahead a second time with a blast from the point off a won faceoff for a short-handed tally at 10:19 of the second period.

However, Bogosian pulled Minnesota even again at 17:30 of the middle frame with a point-shot rocket of his own.

Dallas forward Roope Hintz needed help off the ice late in the game after he was hit in the foot by a teammate’s shot during his team’s push for the equalizer.
