VANCOUVER \u2014 Two goals from Lian Bichsel<\/a> powered the Dallas Stars<\/a> to a lopsided 6-1 victory over the struggling Vancouver Canucks<\/a> on Monday. <\/p>\n

Colin Blackwell<\/a>, Jason Robertson<\/a> and Matt Duchene<\/a> each scored and notched a helper for the Stars (37-14-9), who stretched their win streak to a franchise-record nine games. <\/p>\n

Adam Erne<\/a> added a goal for Dallas, while Miro Heiskanen<\/a> and Sam Steel<\/a> recorded two helpers apiece, and Jake Oettinger<\/a> made 13 saves. <\/p>\n

The Canucks opened the scoring midway through the first period when Jake DeBrusk<\/a> drove into the offensive zone, put a shot off Oettinger\u2019s right pad and Evander Kane<\/a> deflected the rebound in from the side of the net for his 11th goal of the season. <\/p>\n

The home side couldn\u2019t hold onto the lead amid an onslaught of giveaways and defensive miscues. <\/p>\n

Nikita Tolopilo<\/a> stopped 31 of the 37 shots he faced in Vancouver\u2019s net as the Canucks lost a sixth straight game (0-4-2).<\/p>\n

TAKEAWAYS<\/p>\n

Canucks: Took an early lead with Kane\u2019s goal 7:57 into the first period, but the offence stuttered in the second, with Vancouver registering just four shots on goal through the period. \u2026 Defenceman Tyler Myers<\/a> was held out a third-straight game for trade-related reasons.<\/p>\n

Stars: Came in with the second-best power play in the league (30.1 per cent) and capitalized on their first man advantage of the night when Vancouver\u2019s Filip Hronek<\/a> was called for delay of game midway through the second period. \u2026 Heiskanen extended his point streak to six games with nine assists across the stretch. <\/p>\n

KEY MOMENT<\/p>\n

Dallas took the lead 8:31 into the second period when Ilya Lyubushkin<\/a> sliced a pass to Bichsel and the six-foot-seven defenceman blasted a wrist shot up and over Tolopilo\u2019s shoulder from the slot to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n

KEY STAT<\/p>\n

The Canucks have not scored a power-play goal since Jan. 27, going 0-for-13 over their last seven games.<\/p>\n

UP NEXT<\/p>\n

Stars: Visit the Calgary Flames<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Canucks: Host the Carolina Hurricanes<\/a> on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
