"We played a lot better tonight," said Stars coach Marc Crawford. "We did a lot of good things in the defensive zone. We really protected well. We blocked a lot of shots, we were in lanes. They didn't get anything easy, which is really positive. On the other side, I think our offense will be better as we move forward."

The Stars fell to 5-9 in shootouts this season.

Marty Turco will start in goal Sunday.

Injuries: D Nicklas Grossman (back) and  C Tom Wandell (knee) are out.

"It felt good just getting the win. It was a big two points, and we needed that," said Anderson. "It was just nice to put together a 60-minute effort and play the way we're capable of."
