But the Stars pulled even at 3-3 on a Matt Duchesne goal in the third and then beat the Wild in double overtime to take a 2-1 series lead. Jesper Wallstedt suffered the loss on 32-save in the second longest game in franchise history. Game Four is Saturday afternoon at Grand Casino Arena with a 4:30 P-M puck drop.
