Stars Snap Back With Win Over Minnesota

Posted Jan 8, 08 4:22 AM CST in Sports 

(Newser) – Mike Ribeiro celebrated his new $25 million contract with two assists, and teammate Antti Miettinen scored twice as Dallas defeated Minnesota 3-1, ending a four-game losing streak. The Stars went scoreless for more than 100 minutes last night, reports AP. Minnesota, playing Dallas for the third time in 13 days, got its lone goal from Mark Parrish. Elsewhere:

It took only 60 minutes for Edmonton to nail a win—netting goals from four different players in a 4-0 blanking of New York. Mathieu Garon had 35 saves for his third shutout this season and Dustin Horcoff scored his 100th career goal during the Oilers' three-goal second period. It was Edmonton's first regulation win since Dec. 2.

    Stars Avoid Sweep, Send West Finals Back to Detroit Detroit's goal with a guy barely in the crease, if at all, didn't count. Dallas' goal with a guy clearly in the crease did count. Apparently, that's what it takes to slow the mighty Red Wings. Loui Ericksson's goal about 12 minutes after Detroit's was waved off, then third-period goals from Mike Modano and Brenden Morrow sent the Stars past the Red Wings 3-1. More »

    Sharks Avoid Elimination Again The Sharks just won't go away _ and now they're going back to Dallas. Joe Pavelski scored 65 seconds into overtime and San Jose evaded playoff elimination for the second straight game Friday, improbably rallying from a late two-goal deficit to beat Dallas 3-2 in Game 5.
