Although the Dallas Stars traded two of their top four scorers in the two days since their last meeting with Anaheim, the Ducks didn't take them less seriously in the rematch. The departures of Jaromir Jagr and Derek Roy actually made the Stars look more dangerous to the Ducks, and the Pacific Division leaders responded accordingly. Captain Ryan Getzlaf had a goal and two assists, and Teemu Selanne scored his 673rd career goal in the Ducks' 5-2 victory over Dallas on Wednesday night.
