NEWARK, N.J., Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Loui Eriksson's second goal of the game, coming 96 seconds into overtime Friday, lifted the Dallas Stars to a season-starting 4-3 victory over New Jersey.
The Stars twice came from behind to beat New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur, who began his 18th season with the Devils.
Dallas fell behind 2-0 just 7 minutes into the game but Brenden Morrow scored late in the first period and Eriksson tied it 3:02 into the second.
Jason Arnott put the Devils back in front midway through the second on the power play but Brad Richards again brought Dallas from behind 76 seconds later.
Kari Lehtonen, replacing Marty Turco as the Dallas goaltender this season, kept the Stars tied throughout the third period and became the winner when Eriksson put a wrist shot past Brodeur.
Lehtonen made 27 saves and Brodeur stopped 24 shots.
