They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). Prior to 1993, the team was known as the Minnesota North Stars. . They needed another miracle. On Oct. 30, 1998, Anaheim scored twice in the final 38 seconds to tie the Stars, but it was back to reality on Friday night against the NHL's best team. Dallas dominated the Ducks in a 3-1 victory before 17,150 at the Pond as Paul Kariya Paul Tetsuhiko Kariya (born October 16, 1974 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada), is a professional ice hockey player who plays for the St. Louis Blues. Personal life was held without a point, snapping a streak of 17 home games where he had at least one goal or assist.

The Stars, who lead the league with 61 points, took full advantage of three Ducks mistakes to take a 3-0 lead 70 seconds into the in the second period and put Anaheim out of its misery early. The Ducks beat the Stars the first three times the two teams played back in the 1993-94, but the series has provided Anaheim nothing but heartache since. Dallas is 16-3-1 in the last 20 games, outscoring the Ducks 74-35 in the process.

Anaheim fell behind when Guy Hebert couldn't control a rebound and then put an ill-advised clearing pass on the stick of Mike Modano. The Dallas center easily scored his 15th goal of the season into an empty net at 5:27. CAPTION(S): Photo PHOTO Ducks' Paul Kariya knocks down Dallas' Grant Marshall in the first period.
