Ducks look to keep rolling; face stiff test in Stars

Dec 20, 2006 - 4:26 PM Dallas (21-12-0) at Anaheim (26-4-6) 10:00 pm EST

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- The Anaheim Ducks were probably very tired after a five-game road trip, but did not show it on Monday.

The Ducks look for their second straight home victory when they host the Dallas Stars in a Pacific Division battle on Wednesday.

Anaheim returned home after a 4-1-0 road trip with a 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Monday. Samuel Pahlsson, Dustin Penner and Corey Perry all scored in the third period as the Ducks snapped a 1-1 tie after two periods to pull away.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 27 saves for the Ducks, whose 58 points are the most in the NHL.

The Stars snapped a two-game losing streak with a 4-3 shootout triumph over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday in the opener of a three-game road trip.

Dallas' Mike Ribeiro scored the lone goal of the shootout while Marty Turco, who made 33 saves in regulation and overtime, denied all three Los Angeles shooters.

Philippe Boucher and Stu Barnes scored in regulation while Brenden Morrow scored the game-tying goal for Dallas, which improved to 3-0 in shootouts this season.
