DALLAS, March 14 (UPI) -- Nicklas Grossman scored at 2:23 of overtime Saturday night, boosting the Dallas Stars to a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Wild.

The goal was just Grossman's second this season. It came after Loui Eriksson's third assist in the contest.

Steve Ott scored twice. Mike Ribeiro had two assists, and Marty Turco turned aside 28-of-30 shots for the Stars, who have won three of five overall.

Minnesota's Mikko Koivu and Andrew Brunette scored one goal each. Niklas Backstrom was beaten three times on 29 shots for the Wild, who have lost three in a row -- and have dropped 10 straight at Dallas' American Airlines Center.

The Wild finished 1-for-3 on the power play, while Dallas was scoreless on its three man-advantage chances.
