ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Loui Eriksson scored the go-ahead goal with 7 minutes to play Wednesday, finishing off a Dallas comeback that gave the Stars a 4-3 win over Minnesota.

Dallas rallied from a two-goal deficit to halt a three-game losing streak.

James Neal produced the first two-goal game of his career and Marty Turco made 25 saves.

Niklas Backstrom allowed four goals on 30 shots in what was the Wild's third loss in four contests.

Neal brought the Stars within a goal with 2:20 remaining in the second period and Brad Richards tied it 8:30 into the third with a wrist shot that sailed just below the angle of the left post and crossbar.

Eriksson got the game-winner on a deflection off a shot from Stephane Robidas.
