(SportsNetwork.com) - After leaving some points on the table during a recent homestand, the Minnesota Wild will try to tighten their grip on a playoff spot during a three-game road trip. A stop in Boston could be a good place to start. The Wild look to avoid their first ever setback at TD Garden as they visit the Atlantic Division-leading Bruins on Monday night. You can watch the game live on TSN2 at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. Minnesota will try to keep this a 60-minute contest as it lost three shootouts during a 1-0-3 homestand. Still, with 80 points the Wild own a five-point edge for a wild card position in the Western Conference. Saturdays 2-1 shootout setback to the Columbus Blue Jackets closed out Minnesotas residency. Jason Pominville scored in the third period for the Wild and Darcy Kuemper made 28 saves through overtime. Minnesota then grabbed a 2-0 lead in the shootout on goals by Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu, but Artem Anisimov and Mark Letestu countered for Columbus. Matt Moulson then had his fourth-round chance stopped and Kuemper was beaten by Ryan Johansen. Kuemper tried to disrupt the attempt with a poke check, but Johansen pulled the puck to the backhand and sent it into the net. The goal was upheld after it was ruled that Kuemper did not get his stick on the puck. That left the Wild with five of a possible eight points on its homestand, but Moulson said, "down the stretch every point is important." The Wild will visit the New York Islanders on Monday night, so both Kuemper and Ilya Bryzgalov could see action over the next two days. Kuemper has gone 12-4-4 with a 2.19 goals against average in 22 games (21 starts) this season and has never faced Boston, while Ilya Bryzgalov is 6-3-3 with a 2.49 GAA versus the Bruins.

It was a really nice play by him," Bergenheim said. The Stars still hold a one-point lead over the Phoenix Coyotes for the second Western Conference wild-card spot. They missed a chance to extend their points lead against a team that has been struggling. "We stopped skating. You cant do that, you have to play a full 60 minutes in these games," Stars forward Jamie Benn said. "We knew it wasnt going to be easy, theyre not going to give us these games. We have to put this one behind us; it was obviously a terrible outcome. We dont want to remember this one." Scottie Upshall and Brandon Pirri also scored for Florida, and. Roberto Luongo made 35 saves and beat Dallas for the first time in five starts. "Myself and also the team got better as the game went on. We had a really strong second half of the game," Luongo said.

Tyler Seguin and Benn had goals for the Stars, and Kari Lehtonen stopped 21 shots. Florida erased a 2-0 deficit on goals by Upshall and Pirri in the second period.

"We have an opportunity here to play for something and those are fun games to play in." Florida tied when Pirri scored with 57 seconds left in the period. Jimmy Hayes slid a pass to Pirri in the slot for a one-timed shot high into net. "Obviously, theyre playing for their lives," Panthers coach Peter Horachek said. "Getting that second one and tying it up was a great momentum boost for us." Dallas took the lead 45 seconds into the game when Benn poked the puck past a defender and then wristed a shot past Luongo for his 33rd goal. Benn, who scored 40 seconds into Saturday nights 5-2 win at Tampa Bay, has three goals in two games. Dallas made it 2-0 just 39 seconds into the middle period when Seguin scored his 36th of the season during a power play.

The Stars also struggled against Tampa Bay on Saturday, when they nearly blew a three-goal lead before pulling away in the third. "Tough points to lose, it wasnt a good game for us," Seguin said.
