DALLAS - Jamie Benn scored in the second round of the shootout and the Dallas Stars maintained their home dominance over the Minnesota Wild with a 2-1 victory on Saturday night.
Loui Eriksson scored for Dallas in the first round, but Matt Cullen got the Wild even in the second.
Benn beat Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom with a wrist shot to give Dallas the advantage, and Kari Lehtonen denied Minnesota's Jared Spurgeon to gain an extra point for Dallas.
The Stars are 11-0-4 in their last 15 home games against the Wild, who haven't won in Dallas since a 3-2 overtime victory on March 21, 2003.
Kyle Brodziak scored and Backstrom stopped 25 shots for the Wild.
Mike Ribeiro notched a power-play goal and Lehtonen made 33 saves for the Stars.
