DALLAS — It was the one that got away.
Actually, there have been a few games like that this season for the Vancouver Canucks, but their Oct. 29 loss here against the Dallas Stars was particularly painful.
The Canucks had a 3-1 lead midway through the third period of that game, but couldn't hang on. Dallas got third-period goals from Jason Demers and Patrick Sharp before captain Jamie Benn won it in overtime.
A month later, the Canucks are looking for a little payback.
It doesn't figure to be easy tonight (5:30 p.m. Pacific, on Sportsnet, TSN 1040).
