Final
Struggling Stars look to end skid against Ducks
Feb 28, 2009 - 11:18 AM Anaheim (30-28-5) at Dallas (29-27-4), 3:00 p.m. ESTDALLAS (Ticker) -- The Dallas Stars' scoring woes are proving costly in the tight Western Conference.
Looking to snap a three-game skid, the struggling Stars host the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday in a battle of Pacific Division rivals.
In Thursday's 3-1 setback to the St. Louis Blues, Marty Turco stopped 19 shots and Jere Lehtinen netted the lone goal for Dallas, which has managed just two goals in its current swoon.
The Stars are tied with Minnesota, Edmonton and Anaheim for the seventh and eighth spots in the West.
The Ducks, meanwhile, are coming off one of their worst outings of the season, a 6-0 drubbing at the hands of the Boston Bruins on Thursday.
All-Star Jean-Sebastien Giguere turned aside only five of eight shots before he was replaced by Jonas Hiller, who finished with 16 saves.
Anaheim has dropped four of its last six and has been outscored, 27-17, over that span.
