DALLAS - Defenseman Stephane Robidas had two goals and two assists, rookie Tom Wandell scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the third period and the Dallas Stars beat the New Jersey Devils 5-3 on Saturday night.
The Devils trailed 3-1 after the first period, but drew even at 3 at 6:31 of the third period on Travis Zajac's power-play goal.
Wandell put Dallas ahead for good at 9:07 when he jammed the rebound of his own shot past goalie Martin Brodeur. Robidas' one-timer at 14:09 made it 5-3.
Mike Ribeiro and Robidas had first-period power-play goals, and rookie Warren Peters scored his second NHL goal in his Stars debut.
Brad Richards had four assists for the Stars, who've won only three of 10 home games in regulation this season.
Brian Rolston scored in the game's opening minute, and added a second-period power-play goal for the Devils, who ended a winless three-game trip (0-2-1). New Jersey had won eight in a row before hitting the road.
Yann Danis got his third start of the season in goal for the Devils, but was replaced by Brodeur at the start of the second period after Dallas scored on three of nine shots.
Rolston gave New Jersey the lead 55 seconds after the opening faceoff, taking a long pass from Patrik Elias, skating in alone and beating Dallas goalie Marty Turco on the backhand.
