Dallas opened the scoring 5:13 into the contest as Eaves buried the rebound of Seguin's shot from the top of the left faceoff circle. Ladd forged a tie midway through the second period with a shot from the same area before Horcoff put the Stars ahead for good by deflecting defenseman Trevor Daley's blast from the blue line 4:07 later.
Spezza beat Hutchinson from the right circle with 1:13 remaining in the session and Klingberg scored Dallas' lone even-strength goal at 4:29 of the third with a soft shot from the right point.
