Matt Boldy scored with 29 seconds left in overtime to give the Minnesota Wild a 3-2 win over the visiting Dallas Stars in Game 4 of their Western Conference first-round series on Saturday evening in St. Paul, Minn.

Boldy deflected a point shot into the net by Jared Spurgeon after it appeared to be headed wide.

The best-of-seven series is even 2-2 heading into Game 5 on Tuesday in Dallas.

Brock Faber had a goal and an assist, Marcus Foligno also scored and Jesper Wallstedt made 43 saves for the Wild, who dominated the series opener 6-1 before losing two in a row, including Game 3 at home in double-overtime.

Jason Robertson and Miro Heiskanen scored power-play goals, Matt Duchene and Mikko Rantanen had two assists each, and Jake Oettinger made 40 saves for the Stars, who are 8-for-19 on the power play this series.

Robertson scored his fourth goal in four games on a rebound while on the first power play to give Dallas a 1-0 lead at 5:35 of the first period.

Faber became the first defenseman in Wild history to score three goals in a playoff series when he tied it 1-1 at 13:52 of the first.

Faber took a shot from the right point that clipped the glove of Heiskanen and was redirected into his own net.

Dallas went on its second power play when Duchene made a pass from below the goal line to Heiskanen above the left circle and he had room to skate to nearly the hash marks before beating Wallstedt under his left armpit for a 2-1 lead with 35 seconds left in the second period.

After getting outshot 17-5 in the second period, the Wild managed to tie it 2-2 at 14:40 of the third after a bouncing puck came off the end boards and got behind Oettinger. Foligno reached over Oettinger and swatted the puck across the goal line.

Minnesota went 0-for-4 with the man-advantage and is 1-for-15 in the past three games.

Ty France hit two bases-empty homers, Mason Miller recorded his major league-leading 10th save, and the San Diego Padres beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 in the Mexico City Series at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helu in Mexico City on Saturday.

Miller has not allowed a run in 14 1/3 innings this season, and he extended his scoreless streak to a franchise-record 34 2/3 innings.

France hit his second and third homers of the season and Gavin Sheets had a two-run single in a four-run seventh for the Padres, who overcame an early 4-0 deficit. They have won 13 of 15.

Alec Thomas homered in a four-run second, his second homer in three games, and Nolan Arenado and Jose Fernandez had two hits for the D-Backs, who are the designated home team in the two-game series. They have lost three of four.

Arizona infielder Ildemaro Vargas extended his season-opening hitting streak to 19 games, the longest active streak in the majors and the second-longest since Pablo Sandoval’s 20-gamer in 2012. Vargas has a 22-game hitting streak dating to 2025.

Padres right-hander German Marquez (3-1) gave up four runs on six hits in six innings, with two strikeouts and one walk.

Jackson Merrill and Xander Bogaerts walked around a single by Manny Machado to open the Padres’ seventh before Taylor Clarke entered to replace Brandon Pfaadt.

Sheets hit a two-run single and shortstop Gerardo Perdomo’s fielding error re-loaded the bases. Freddy Fermin and Ramon Laureano followed with sacrifice flies for a 5-4 lead. Perdomo suffered a left ankle sprain on his error and left the game.

Pfaadt replaced Arizona starter Zac Gallen in the fourth inning. Gallen suffered a right shoulder contusion when was struck by a Fermin’s 92 mph line drive with one out in the third inning. Fermin reached on a single and Gallen got the final two outs of the inning before leaving.

Clarke (1-1) allowed all three inherited runners to score and they were charged to Pfaadt, who allowed four runs on two hits and three walks, while fanning five in three innings. The run charged to Clarke was unearned.

Vargas and Arenado singled with two outs in the second inning before Fernandez lined a double to left-center to drive in two. Thomas followed with his 400-foot homer to right, extending his hitting streak to six games.

France hit his first homer of the game in the fifth to put Arizona on the board.

Jayson Tatum has only been back on the court for seven-plus weeks but the Boston Celtics star is making a stellar impact.

While putting last May’s devastating ruptured right Achilles tendon further in the rearview mirror, Tatum’s comeback story is reading superbly. He will look to help Boston take a 3-1 series lead when it visits the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night in Eastern Conference first-round play.

Tatum drained five 3-pointers and recorded 25 points, seven assists and five rebounds as the Celtics notched a 108-100 road win on Friday. It was his second 25-point outing of the series.

Tatum didn’t make his season debut until March 6 but quickly displayed he would be an asset in the playoffs.

He finished the regular season with seven straight appearances of 23 or more points. He delivered one triple-double and four other double-doubles during the stretch to establish he would be a difference-maker in the postseason.

Also Friday, Tatum became the fourth player in Celtics history to top 3,000 career postseason points. Tatum (3,005) trails three legends — Kevin McHale (3,182), John Havlicek (3,776) and leader Larry Bird (3,897).

“I can’t stress it enough that the fact that I get to put my uniform on and run out with the team, it’s a win for me,” Tatum said. “Obviously, I’m not 100% yet and will not be, but expectations of what people want me to do is the last thing that has crossed my mind.

“The amount of joy I have been able to find just being back out there and being out there with my teammates is all I could think about.”

Co-star Jaylen Brown, who carried the team while Tatum was sidelined, is impressed with Tatum’s progress.

“He’s been incrementally getting better and stronger and getting more physical,” said Brown, who also scored 25 points in Game 3. “You can see he’s getting downhill at a higher level than he did when he started. But we do it as a team. We win as a team and lose as a team. So in those moments, I got nothing but trust for Jayson Tatum.”

Sunday’s contest is a big one for the 76ers as a split through four games would be significantly better than facing a possible Game 5 elimination game in Boston.

What would really help is if star center Joel Embiid is available, but the team listed the former MVP as doubtful on their Saturday injury report.

Embiid underwent an appendectomy on April 9. He was also listed as doubtful for Friday’s game before being ruled out.

Philadelphia coach Nick Nurse said that Embiid did on-court work Saturday and will be evaluated after Sunday’s shootaround.

Forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (right adductor) is questionable.

Philadelphia star guard Tyrese Maxey scored 31 points in the Game 3 setback and made five 3-pointers for the second straight game. He felt the game got away from his squad.

“We always focus on what you could do better,” Maxey said. “… Got to get one (Sunday), got to protect home court and even the series.”

Maxey is averaging 27.0 points and 7.7 assists in the series.

The 76ers allowed more 3-pointers (20) than 2-point baskets (16) in Game 3, and Nurse said his team needs to make things tougher for Boston from outside the arc.

“They had five made off offensive rebounds and that’s not good, right?” Nurse said. “They made a lot of tough ones. … We’re going to have to be a lot better. It has to start with pressure.”
