SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The last time Dallas faced the Sharks, it turned out to be the Stars' most important game of the year, according to right wing Adam Burish.

The Stars came back from two goals down to beat San Jose 5-4 last month, and the win helped the upstart Dallas team believe in themselves even more strongly.

"That San Jose game was the biggest one of all because now we know we can come back from two down," Burish told FanHouse on Monday after the team's morning skate. "I keep going back to that game, because that was a big story."

Stars coach Marc Crawford agreed, and he said one reason that that game was so key was that it helped Mike Ribiero, who opened the season in a real slump, get going. He scored his first two goals of the season, including the game-winner.
