Once the Stars got the shootout, it was all over for the Devils.
Jason Spezza and Jamie Benn scored in the tiebreaker, and Dallas beat New Jersey 3-2 on Friday night, extending the Devils' NHL record for shootout losses to 18 straight.
The Devils' shootout woes date to March 15, 2013, and it didn't appear as if either shootout attempt went on net: Mike Cammalleri's shot sailed over the net on the first and Jaromir Jagr lost control of the puck on the second.
Stars goaltender Kari Lehtonen finished with 25 saves.
"You have to score," Devils coach Pete DeBoer said "You've got Benn and Spezza coming down for them the first two shooters. That's tough with the two shots those two guys made. We'll just pick up and move on. I'm not concerned about it. I know we're going to win some shootouts, so we'll take the point and move on."
Spezza scored after Cammalleri missed with a dancing backhander in front. Benn beat Cory Schneider skating across the crease from right to left.
Eric Gelinas and Damien Brunner scored for the Devils, who have lost four in a row since starting the season 3-0. Schneider made 35 saves, including a breakaway stop on Erik Cole late in the third period.
The Devils tied it at 2 at 8:18 of the third period on a controversial goal by Brunner. A prone Patrik Elias used his glove to slide the puck from the right corner of the net to the other side, where Brunner tapped it in for his first goal of the season.
Dallas was outshot 7-3 in the opening nine minutes and fell behind 1-0 on Gelinas' first goal of the season. Jacob Josefson, playing for the first time this season, collected a turnover by defenseman Jamie Oleksiak and found Gelinas for a shot from the left point at 5:21.
Dallas, which outshot New Jersey 11-2 in the final 11 minutes of a fruitless first period, took the lead with two goals in the second.
Benn went top shelf from in close one second before a tripping penalty on Gelinas expired. Spezza and Tyler Sequin outworked Andy Greene behind the net, with Seguin finding Benn for his fifth goal.
The Devils nearly re-took the lead midway through the period when Michael Ryder hit the post.
Eaves put Dallas in front with 4:12 left in the period with a goal that Schneider probably should have prevented. Eaves got the puck in the right circle and his unscreened shot found its way between the goaltender and the post. It was Eaves' first goal since signing with the Stars in free agency in the offseason.
