NEWARK, N.J. — Niklas Hagman scored on a nifty backhand in the fourth round of the shootout to give Toronto the win over New Jersey. After Hagman gave Toronto a 2-1 shootout lead, Vesa Toskala secured the win with a blocker save on Jamie Langenbrunner. Tomas Kaberle kept Toronto alive, beating Martin Brodeur in the third round after Patrik Elias scored for New Jersey.

Stars 4, Wild 2

DALLAS — Tobias Stephan made 19 saves to earn his first NHL win, Brenden Morrow scored 13 seconds into the game, and Dallas handed Minnesota its first loss in regulation. Stephan, filling in for slumping Marty Turco, made his first start of the season and second of his career. Turco has a 4.26 goals against average and gave up six goals in a loss to Washington on Saturday night. The Stars jumped out to a 3-1 lead after the first, forcing goalie Niklas Backstrom out of the game in favor of backup Josh Harding, who played the final two periods.
