NHL Round-up for Monday’s game
Stars 2, Coyotes 1
DALLAS — Mike Modano scored the go-ahead goal on a power play with 3:12 remaining as Dallas won its seventh straight to match a franchise record. With the game tied at 1, the Stars had a 5-on-3 advantage when Modano notched the 523rd goal of his career, most in NHL history by a U.S.-born player. Modano’s 16th of the season came on a one-timer from the high slot off a pass from Jere Lehtinen. Dallas has a seven-game winning streak for the fourth time in club history. The last time the Stars won seven in a row was Nov. 22-Dec. 5, 1997. Phoenix goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov stopped the first 40 shots he faced before Dallas’ Steve Ott tied it at 1 at 11:45 of the third period on a shot from the left circle that glanced into the net off the goalie’s right shoulder. Bryzgalov finished with 42 saves. Ex-Star Niko Kapanen scored for the Coyotes, but Phoenix lost its fourth in a row.
