Mavrik Bourque<\/a> put the Stars up 3-1 at 2:26 of the second period. Jason Robertson<\/a>‘s shot from just inside the blue line went through the legs of Calgary forward Mikael Backlund<\/a>\u00a0and past the screen in front for the redirection by Bourque.<\/p>\n

Steel put Dallas up 4-1 with his second goal of the night at 6:02. Duchene deked around the defender at the left circle before his cross-ice pass found Steel for the snap shot from the right circle, prompting Cooley to take over in net for Calgary.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you\u2019re always trying to get better and better year by year, and I think I\u2019m trying to take steps this year,\u201d Steel, who matched his career-high in goals scored with his 10th of the season, said. \u201cI\u2019ve been getting a little bit more opportunity, which is always great. I\u2019m just glad to help contribute.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nathan Bastian<\/a> redirected a point shot by Nils Lundkvist<\/a>\u00a0past Cooley at 8:48 to extend the Stars lead to 5-1.<\/p>\n

Johnston made it 6-1 at 19:41 with a power-play goal, taking a pass from Duchene on his forehand in front of the net before backhanding a shot past Cooley, who went on to stop all 13 shots he faced in the third period.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou definitely get confidence from when it\u2019s going well,\u201d Duchene, who has a team-best 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) during Dallas\u2019 10-game winning streak, said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to ride the wave. You want to make those peaks long. I think as a line we\u2019re doing a lot of good things.\u201d<\/p>\n

NOTES: In 48 career games against the Flames, Benn has recorded 48 points (24 goals, 24 assists). \u2026 Benn scored his 409th career goal and passed Ray Ferraro<\/a>\u00a0(408) for the second-most by a player drafted in the fifth round of an NHL Draft. The only skater with more is Alexander Mogilny<\/a>\u00a0(473). \u2026 The Stars have 17 wins this season when scoring first on the road, which is the most among all teams. \u2026 Dallas forward Roope Hintz<\/a>\u00a0(illness) was placed on injured reserve, retroactive to Feb. 25. Gulutzan said he’s hopeful Hintz will be back for Dallas’ game on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche. “We think he should be a player Friday and if he\u2019s not ready Friday, I think it would be 100 percent on Sunday (against the Chicago Blackhawks),” Gulutzan said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mavrik Bourque put the Stars up 3-1 at 2:26 of the second period.
