The Stars can score goals, they proved that last season when they were second in the NHL.

But they are doing something different this year, making those goals stand up. Dallas came back from a two-goal third period deficit to defeat the Vancouver Canucks, 4-3, in overtime Thursday at American Airlines Center.

"What's really good to see is we had a tough time with adversity last year, and this year we've started off where we're learning to battle through some tough situations and come up with some big wins," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said.

Dallas pushes to 8-2-0 on the season and leads the Western Conference. The Stars overcame a three-goal deficit in a 4-3 win over Anaheim Tuesday and crawled back from a goal 10 seconds into the third period that gave Vancouver a 3-1 lead.

"That's something that last year would have turned the game the other way," Ruff said.
