Sharks look to keep rolling vs. Stars

Mar 27, 2008 - 1:18 PM Dallas (42-29-5) at San Jose (45-21-10) 10:00 pm EDT

SAN JOSE, California (Ticker) - The San Jose Sharks look to keep their impressive run of success going Thursday when they host the slumping Dallas Stars.

The Sharks lost to Phoenix in overtime on Tuesday, but have not lost in regulation during their last 16 games (14-0-2).

"We didn't play as well as we would like to, but we still managed to get a point," said San Jose's Thornton, who had a hat trick in the loss. "So, just take the good from the bad from the game and move on to the next game."

Dallas is looking to avoid its first five-game losing streak since 2003.

The Stars, who are one point ahead of Colorado (41-31-6) for sixth place in the Western Conference, have gone 1-7-0 this month.

Dallas allowed three third-period goals in a 4-2 loss on Saturday to the lowly Los Angeles Kings, who own the league's worst record.

The final period has not been kind to the Stars, as they have been outscored 17-3 in the third period over their last nine games.

Dallas has won the last six meetings here, including all three this season.
