DALLAS (AP) \u2014 Valeri Nichushkin<\/a> scored with 15 seconds remaining in regulation, then made one of NHL-leading Colorado\u2019s two shots in a shootout to beat Dallas 5-4 on Friday night, ending the Stars\u2019 franchise-record winning streak at 10 games. <\/p>\n

Martin Necas<\/a> had a goal and three assists for the Avalanche, then made the victory-clinching shot in the shootout after Nichushkin went first. <\/p>\n

The Avalanche still had an extra skater on the ice \u2014 after Stars captain Jamie Benn<\/a> had missed an open net on his shot with just over a minute left in regulation \u2014 when Nichushkin\u2019s 13th goal tied it. Nichushkin had shots ricochet off both posts earlier in the third period. <\/p>\n

Jake Oettinger<\/a> had 25 saves for the Stars and Scott Wedgewood<\/a>, his former backup in Dallas, stopped all 10 shots he faced throughout overtime before denying former teammates Jason Robertson<\/a> and Matt Duchene<\/a> in the shootout. <\/p>\n

Wedgewood took over in net for the Avs after Benn\u2019s goal 1:52 into the second period put Dallas up 4-2 after only 11 shots against Mackenzie Blackwood<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Wyatt Johnston<\/a>, Miro Heiskanen<\/a> and Justin Hryckowian<\/a> each had a goal and an assist for the Stars, who hadn\u2019t lost since Jan. 22. Their 86 points rank second in the NHL, seven behind their Central Division rival. <\/p>\n

Nathan MacKinnon<\/a> scored his NHL-leading 42nd goal only 12 seconds into a power play, and with just a second left in the first period, to get the Avs within 3-2. He also had two assists, while Cale Makar<\/a> had a goal and an assist.<\/p>\n

The game came hours after the trade deadline and the Avs reacquiring center Nazem Kadri<\/a>, who was part of their 2022 title run. Kadri didn\u2019t play and neither did the Stars\u2019 additions this week: 6-foot-8 defenseman Tyler Myers<\/a> from Vancouver and left wing Michael Bunting<\/a> from Nashville. <\/p>\n

Avalanche: Play at home Sunday against Minnesota, the third-place team behind the Avs and Stars in the Central Division \u2014 and Western Conference. <\/p>\n
