The Stars couldn't quite shake the curse of the Red Wings, but they did play one of their better games of the past two months Monday.
Dallas had a 41-33 advantage in shots on goal, had several great scoring chances, and rallied to tie the game in the final two minutes of regulation.
But Detroit earned a power play in overtime and received the game-winning goal from Pavel Datsyuk at 2:33 of the extra frame to win its seventh straight game at American Airlines Center.
Detroit jumps up to 32-20-11 (75 points) and looks good in its battle for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
