Buffalo Sabres.

who ended a four-game losing skid and improved to 4-2-3. Right

Stars 4, Ducks 3
Antoine Roussel scored off a rebound with 1:28 remaining, and the

Center.
Anaheim led 3-0 after a period before Dallas responded in the second
to make it 3-3 after 40 minutes.
Roussel's goal, his first of the season, came after Ducks goaltender
Frederik Andersen denied an initial shot by Stars center Vernon
Fiddler. Roussel was waiting at the near post to pounce, and he
poked the puck into the back of the net. (Compiled by Peter
