GLENDALE, Ariz., Feb. 15 (UPI) -- A goal and two assists from Radim Vrbata Thursday helped the Phoenix Coyotes to a 5-2 win over Dallas that ended the Stars' seven-game winning streak.
Phoenix halted a four-game skid and won for just the second time in eight games. Dallas' seven consecutive victories had equaled a franchise best, and the Stars had beaten Phoenix 2-1 Monday.
Marty Turco gave up four goals on 26 shots for Dallas and Ilya Bryzgalov made 32 saves for the Coyotes.
Shane Doan, Daniel Carcillo, Niko Kapanen, and Nicholas Boynton also scored for the Coyotes.
Doan opened the scoring at 11:29 of the first with a power-play goal and the Coyotes managed a 2-1 lead after the opening period.
That was the way it stayed until Kapanen scored with 1:18 remaining in the second. A breakaway goal by Vrbata at 5:22 of the third gave Phoenix a 4-1 advantage.
