Barnes, Ott Lead Dallas Past Anaheim

Posted Apr 17, 08 11:40 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Stu Barnes and Steve Ott scored third-period goals and Marty Turco came within 7.6 seconds of a shutout, sending the Dallas Stars past the Anaheim Ducks 3-1 tonight.  The loss puts the reigning Stanley Cup champions on the brink of elimination. Dallas leads the first-round series 3-1 going into Game 5 in Anaheim tomorrow night.

Turco and the Stars are seeking their first postseason series win since a first-rounder in 2003, having dropped four straight. Anaheim, meanwhile, is a loss away from continuing a dismal streak for defending champs—none has reached the second round since Colorado in 2002. The last time Dallas won a home playoff game, Turco had a shutout.
