Oct 12, 2007 - 3:27 PM Calgary (0-2-1) at Dallas (2-2-0) 8:30 pm EDT

DALLAS (Ticker) -- In recent years, the Dallas Stars have dominated at home against the Calgary Flames.

The Stars would like to keep the streak going Friday when they host the Flames, who are still winless this season under new coach Mike Keenan.

Dallas has seven wins and a tie in its last eight home meetings with Calgary. The Flames have not won in Dallas since December 14, 2001.

In their two home wins this season, the Stars have registered nine goals. They are coming off a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.

After missing the Stars' first three games with an ankle injury, Mike Ribeiro returned to the lineup against the Kings and registered an goal and an assist.

Niklas Hagman, who tallied a career-high 17 goals last season, added a pair against Los Angeles.

Goaltender Marty Turco has allowed just two goals in the two home wins after giving up four in the Stars' season-opening loss at Colorado.

The Flames have been dreadful on the penalty kill, allowing seven goals in 18 shorthanded opportunities.

Calgary opened a four-game road trip on Wednesday with a 4-2 loss in Detroit as goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff gave up four goals for the second straight game.

Kiprusoff, who has allowed 11 goals this season, is 0-6-0 with a 3.19 goals-against average in his career at Dallas.
