Coyotes hope to snap slide against surging Stars

Feb 11, 2009 - 11:40 AM Phoenix (24-25-5) at Dallas (26-19-7), 8:30 pm EST

DALLAS (Ticker) -- The Phoenix Coyotes are quickly falling out of the Western Conference playoff race.

The Coyotes will attempt to end a six-game losing streak Wednesday, when they visit Marty Turco and the red-hot Dallas Stars.

Steven Goertzen and captain Shane Doan both scored as Phoenix suffered a 7-2 thrashing from the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday. The Coyotes have been outscored by a 25-10 margin over their current slide.

Phoenix has a tough task in this one, facing one of the NHL's hottest teams since the All-Star break. Behind the improved play of Turco, the Stars have won seven of their last eight.

Turco, who will break a 40-year-old franchise record with his 24th consecutive start, made 25 saves in Sunday's 4-1 triumph over the Nashville Predators. Cesare Maniago set the record during the 1968-69 season, starting in 23 straight games.

The 33-year-old Turco is 25-17-7 with a 2.88 goals-against average and two shutouts this season.

Turco's efforts have helped the Stars climb into a tie for fifth place in the West, while the Coyotes have dropped to 13th - four points out of the final playoff spot.
