DALLAS - Thomas Vanek isnt sure how Minnesota keeps blowing three-goal leads. Calvin Pickard Jersey . Hes just happy to try to explain it after a win.Marco Scandella scored the winning goal 2:04 into overtime, after Vanek pulled the Wild even late in regulation, and they beat Dallas 5-4 on Friday night, handing the Stars their eighth straight OT loss at home.The Wild have twice failed to protect 3-0 leads in the third period this season, losing to the New York Rangers 5-4 on Oct. 27 and beating Winnipeg 4-3 in overtime earlier this month.I dont know what is, said Vanek, who assisted on the first Minnesota goal and Scandellas winner. I dont think we change our game, but I think its something that we have to be smarter.This time the lead vanished in the last 4 minutes of the second period. Ales Hemsky started the Dallas scoring with his first goal in his 22nd game with the Stars since signing a 3-year, $12 million contract in the summer.About a minute and a half later, Tyler Seguin got his NHL-leading 18th goal on a shot that was stopped by Darcy Kuemper before the puck slid past the goalie. Erik Cole beat Kuemper from the top of the left circle with 11 seconds left in the period to make it 3-3.The flurry of goals from the Stars came two nights after Kuemper was pulled after giving up four goals in the first period of a 4-0 loss to Los Angeles. He had 41 saves on a season-high 45 shots by Dallas.Alex Goligoski put the Stars ahead 4-3 by beating Kuemper over the top of his glove off a pass from Seguin with 6:31 remaining.Vaneks tying goal came with 1:52 left in regulation from the right circle on assists from Ryan Suter and Zach Parise, who had three assists.We battled for a point, which is awesome, Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. Theres a lot of good in the game, but we seem to throw something really bitter in there to make it hard for me to stand here and tell you I like most parts of our game.Minnesota improved to 6-0 against Central Division teams, and Dallas remained winless at 0-6-2 in the division.The Stars came up short in what would have been their biggest comeback since rallying from 3-0 to beat Chicago 4-3 in a shootout on Feb. 11, 2011, according to STATS.They got chances, but we werent flustered when they scored goals, Scandella said. We came back. We settled things down and we came back to win.Dallas lost the finale of a five-game homestand after winning three straight to answer a seven-game losing skid on home ice that was the longest in franchise history.Story of season so far, Goligoski said. Its not like we have one or two lines going and the other two arent. Seems like its all or nothing.Nino Niederreiter got his seventh goal in eight games and team-leading 11th of the season to start the scoring for Minnesota.Jason Zucker poked in a rebound off Kari Lehtonens pad on a shot by Nate Prosser for a 2-0 Minnesota lead in the first. Mikael Grandlund made it 3-0 midway through the second when he beat Lehtonen on Jason Pominvilles feed.NOTES: Stars F Ryan Garbutt started a two-game suspension for a knee-on-knee hit on Edmontons Taylor Hall in the Stars 3-2 victory Tuesday. He will also be out Saturday night at Colorado. ... Hemskys goal was his 500th career NHL point in his 12th season. He has 147 goals and 353 assists. ... Both teams played the first of back-to-back games. Darryl Sittler Jersey . Edwin Encarnacion carried the torch for two days at Fenway Park this week; Melky Cabrera and Jose Bautista have had their moments; lately Anthony Gose has contributed. Borje Salming Jersey .Y. - Lou Williams scored 21 points and the Toronto Raptors beat New York 81-76 on Monday night in the Knicks preseason home opener. http://www.shopmapleleafsonline.com/Maple-Leafs-Garret-Sparks-Adidas-Jersey/ . - Aroldis Chapman, with two black eyes, has returned to the Cincinnati Reds clubhouse four days after being hit in the face by a line drive.Coming off a loss, the Winnipeg Jets are holding on to the positives heading into a home matchup against the New Jersey Devils. You can watch all the action LIVE on TSN3. Coverage begins at 8pm et/5pm pt. The Jets are opening a three-game homestand following a 2-2-1 trip that concluded with Sundays 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota. However, coach Paul Maurice came away encouraged after Winnipegs three-goal, third-period rally forced the extra session. Im really, really proud the way they handled a couple of real bad breaks there in the first period that would have shattered most teams, Maurice said. We got a little snarl on and fought our way back. Like the Devils, the Jets could use some improvement on the power play, which ranks 28th in the NHL at 9.7 percent after coming up empty on eight chances Sunday. Andrew Ladd, who netted the tying goal Sunday, has two of Winnipegs six power-play tallies, and his seven overall trail only Blake Wheelers eight. Ladd has four goals and one assist in his last three home meetings with New Jersey. Cory Schneiders presence in net and a sluggish power play are the only recent consistencies for the Devils. With Schneider likely to tie a franchise record for consecutive starts, the Devils are hoping the potential return of Adam Henrique can get the power play going Tuesday night in Winnipeg. Schneider has started all 18 games for the Devils (8-8-2), compiling a 2.71 goals-against average while going 8-7-2. That streak could be in jeopardy during this four-game trip through Western Canada after New Jersey recalled veteran backup Scott Clemmensen from Albany of the AHL. Clemmensen, though, allowed four goals on 17 shots in two appearances before being shipped to the minors earlier this month. Schneiders 1.64 GAA while winning two of three career meetings with the Jets (9-7-3) may be reason enough to give him the nod as the Devils start an eight-game stretch with seven on the road. Mitchell Marner Jersey. He had 24 saves and turned aside three shootout attempts in a 2-1 home win Oct. 30. Another start would tie Martin Brodeurs team record of 19 straight to begin 2001-02. Schneider is already the first goaltender to get the call this many times to start a season since 2007-08, when Evgeni Nabokov started the first 43 for San Jose and Miikka Kiprusoff went 23 straight for Calgary. Schneider had 26 saves Saturday, but gave up two unanswered goals 4:37 apart in the third period in a 3-2 loss to Colorado. I thought he was excellent, coach Pete DeBoer said. He let in two goals. I thought he was good. I didnt think fatigue was an issue. He looked good all night. This ones not on him. DeBoer has more concerns with the power play, which has scored on only 1 of 21 chances during New Jerseys 2-5-0 stretch. The unit was 10 for 38 through the first 11 games. (The) power play has been a little bit of an issue, DeBoer said after the power play went 0 for 2 versus the Avalanche. Thats something that we have to get better at. We could have used a power play goal. That would have been the difference (and) we couldnt find one. Perhaps having Henrique back will help. The center is traveling with the team after missing six games with an undisclosed injury, and hes scored two of his four goals on the man advantage. He had seven power-play goals last season and led the Devils with a career-high 25 overall. Henrique, though, hasnt found the net in his last six meetings with Winnipeg.
