CALGARY \u2014 Sam Steel<\/a> scored twice and added an assist as the Dallas Stars<\/a> extended their franchise-record winning streak to 10 games with a 6-1 rout of the Calgary Flames<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Jamie Benn<\/a>, Mavrik Bourque<\/a>, Nathan Bastian<\/a> and Wyatt Johnston<\/a> also scored for Dallas (38-14-9). Matt Duchene<\/a> chipped in with four assists giving him a team-best 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) during the winning streak.<\/p>\n

Steel and Duchene both tied career-highs for points in a game. Steel\u2019s 10 goals also ties a career-high. The 2016 first-round pick of the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> also scored 10 times for the Minnesota Wild<\/a> in 2022-23.<\/p>\n

Owner of the NHL\u2019s second-best record, the Stars began the night six points back of their division-rival Colorado Avalanche<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Casey DeSmith<\/a> had 20 stops to improve to 13-4-5.<\/p>\n

Dustin Wolf<\/a>, pulled after giving up four goals on 17 shots, falls to 17-23-3. Devin Cooley<\/a> made 16 saves in relief.<\/p>\n

Leading 2-1 after the first period, the visitors blew the game open with four unanswered goals in the second beginning with Bourque\u2019s goal at 2:26 and capped off by Johnston\u2019s power-play tally at 19:41.<\/p>\n

TAKEAWAYS<\/p>\n

Stars: Benn\u2019s 409th career goal moves him past Ray Ferraro<\/a> and into second for most goals all-time by a fifth-round pick, behind Alex Mogilny (473). Benn has also thrived against the Flames with 48 points (24 goals, 24 assists) in 48 career games. Enjoying similar success against Calgary is Robertson, who extends his point-streak against the Flames to 12 games. Only Mike Modano<\/a> (15 games against Anaheim) and Jamie Benn<\/a> (13 games against Washington) have enjoyed longer streaks against one opponent.<\/p>\n

Flames: Rookie Zayne Parekh<\/a> returned to the lineup, but was blanked on the scoresheet once again. The 2024 first-round pick and prolific scorer in the OHL has just one assist in 16 games this season. Wolf\u2019s career struggles against the Stars continue. He\u2019s 0-3-0 with a 5.80 goals-against average and .778 save percentage.<\/p>\n

KEY MOMENT<\/p>\n

Dallas opened up a 3-1 lead at 2:26 of the second when Jason Robertson<\/a>\u2019s point shot went off the glove of MacKenzie Weegar<\/a> than deflected off the sweater of Bourque. Less than four minutes later, Duchene spun away from Weegar and set up Steel\u2019s one-timer and that ended Wolf\u2019s night.<\/p>\n

KEY STAT<\/p>\n

Johnston\u2019s league-leading 21st power-play goal ties him with Brian Bellows<\/a> (twice, 1987-88 and 1989-90) for second-most in a season in Stars franchise history. Dino Ciccarelli<\/a> (22, 1986-87) has the record.<\/p>\n

UP NEXT<\/p>\n

Stars: Host the Colorado Avalanche<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n

Flames: Host the Ottawa Senators<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n
