NEWARK, N.J.

Tyler Seguin scored on a power play 20 seconds into overtime and the Dallas Stars rallied to beat the New Jersey Devils. Ales Hemsky also scored a power-play goal with 6:36 left in regulation as the Stars came back to avoid being eliminated from playoff contention. Kari Lehtonen made 20 saves for Dallas, including a stop on a short-handed breakaway attempt by Blake Pietila about a minute before Hemsky tied the game. Blake Coleman, who was born in Plano, Texas, scored his first NHL goal for New Jersey. Keith Kinkaid made 30 saves. The loss was the second in as many nights for the Devils and their 13th in 17 games (2-13-2).

Red Wings 3, Wild 2, OT

DETROIT

Andreas Athanasiou scored 1:52 into overtime and lifted the Detroit Red Wings to a win over the reeling Minnesota Wild. Jimmy Howard made the game-winning goal possible by making one of his 24 saves.

The Wild have lost eight of nine and are 3-10-1 in March. They still clinched a playoff spot late Saturday night when the Los Angeles Kings lost to the New York Rangers. The Wild extended their postseason streak to five under first-year coach Bruce Boudreau.
