DALLAS (Ticker) -- The Dallas Stars aim for their seventh straight win at home over the Vancouver Canucks when the teams meet Tuesday.

The Stars, who hold a two-point lead over the San Jose Sharks for the top spot in the Pacific Division, have allowed just six goals to the Canucks in their previous six meetings at American Airlines Center dating to their last loss on March 17, 2003.

Dallas enters the contest on a three-game winning streak after skating away with a narrow 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Saturday.

Stars' netminder Marty Turco made 31 saves against the Flames to pick up his fifth win in his last six starts. Turco, who is 22-11-4 this season with a 2.35 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage, has made 30 or more saves in each of his last three games.

The Canucks endured their third straight loss on Friday, falling 4-3 in overtime to the Florida Panthers.

Roberto Luongo finished with 40 saves against the Panthers but fell to 3-5-2 in his last 10 games. Luongo has allowed at least three goals seven times over his last 10 starts.
