The Dallas Stars faced a critical setback in Game 4 of their playoff series against the Minnesota Wild, losing 3-2 in overtime. Matt Boldy scored the game-winning goal with just 29 seconds left in overtime, leveling the best-of-seven series at two games apiece.

Stars players Jason Robertson and Miro Heiskanen each scored a goal, while Jake Oettinger made 40 saves. The Stars had previously taken the series lead by winning Games 2 and 3, but the loss in Game 4 puts added pressure on them as the series continues.

Meanwhile, defenseman Nils Lundkvist left the game after suffering a deep facial cut from a skate, raising concerns about his availability for future games. Coach Glen Gulutzan confirmed Lundkvist would undergo further evaluation upon returning to Dallas.

Additionally, the Stars are facing roster decisions with Roope Hintz nearing a return from injury. His comeback may impact the lineup, particularly concerning Arttu Hyry, who has performed admirably in Hintz's absence.

As the Stars prepare for Game 5, strategies will be critical to regain control of the series. The next game is scheduled for Tuesday night in Dallas, where the Stars will aim to bounce back and secure their playoff progression.

The stakes are high, with both the performance of key players and the ongoing contract discussions for Jason Robertson looming over the team's playoff run.
