Loui Erksson sniped two goals in the Dallas Stars' come-from-behind, 5-4 shootout win against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night. It's really a shame this one had to be decided in a shootout as this had all the makings: physically (76 total hits and a load of penalties), up-and-down action and a lot of offense. Eriksson had the game's first goal, the game-tying, power-play goal to force overtime at 14:35 of the third and the only "goal" in the shootout. The winger has 16 goals and 40 points on the year, and has been on fire lately with 10 points in his last six games. Eric Nystrom had a goal, while Alex Goligoski had a goal and an assist. Brenden Morow had two assists and seven of the team's 23 penalty minutes and Michael Ryder chipped in with two helpers.
