DALLAS — Andy McDonald scored twice, including a one-hopper from the red line with 11:41 left in regulation that rallied the Anaheim Mighty Ducks to a 3-3 tie with Dallas on Wednesday night, extending the Stars' winless streak to seven games.
With Anaheim on a power play and trailing 3-2, McDonald shot from 90 feet. The puck bounced once and got through the pads of Stars goaltender Marty Turco.
Jason Arnott had broken a second-period tie, and John Klemm added his first goal for Dallas 58 seconds later to give the Stars a 3-1 lead.
Arnott scored his fifth goal of the season on the power play at 4:41 of the second to give Dallas a 2-1 lead. Klemm, acquired in a trade with Chicago on Monday and making his debut with the Stars, scored his first goal of the season at 5:39 to make it 3-1.
Klemm's shot from just inside the blue line got past goaltender Martin Gerber, who was screened, while the Stars had an extra attacker on a delayed penalty.
Anaheim closed within 3-2 at 16:51 of the second period on Petr Sykora's wrist shot that beat Turco through the pads.
Turco had 30 saves for Dallas, while Gerber stopped 26 shots for Anaheim.
Stars coach Dave Tippett was back behind the bench after missing two games due to emergency neck surgery.
Right wing Jere Lehtinen, Dallas' leading scorer last season, returned to the lineup after missing 16 games due to back spasms.
Mike Modano had a first-period power-play goal for the Stars, 0-5-2 in their last seven games.
Anaheim is 3-0-1-1 in its last five.
McDonald capitalized on a misplay by Turco to give the Mighty Ducks a 1-0 lead at 10:35 of the opening period. Turco strayed from the net to play the puck and his outlet pass up the middle was intercepted by McDonald, who scored into an open net.
Modano tied it at 1 at 15:22 of the first period on a one-timer from the right circle, his fifth of the season.
DEVILS 4, SABRES 1: At East Rutherford, N.J., Scott Stevens set up the first two goals and the suddenly potent New Jersey Devils extended their unbeaten streak to 10 games.
Scott Gomez, Jay Pandolfo, Brian Gionta and John Madden scored for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who have nine goals in their last two games.
RED WINGS 5, BLUE JACKETS 1: At Detroit, Brett Hull scored two goals and Detroit extended it unbeaten streak to five games.
Kris Draper, Tomas Holmstrom and Steve Thomas also scored for the Red Wings, 4-0-1-0 during the streak. Goalie Manny Legace stopped 37 of 38 shots.
ISLANDERS 4, PANTHERS 1: At Sunrise, Fla., rookie Trent Hunter scored twice and New York stretched its unbeaten streak against Florida to seven games (4-0-3).
Mattias Timander and Shawn Bates also scored for the Islanders, who won on the road for only the second time this season (2-4-2).
WILD 6, PENGUINS 2: At Pittsburgh, Antti Laaksonen scored twice in a three-goal Minnesota first period against rookie goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
Marian Gaborik also scored on a penalty shot, only his second goal in the seven games since re-signing with Minnesota, in what by Wild standards was a scoring eruption.
Despite going 7-3-2 since a 1-5-1 start, the Wild had scored as many as four goals only once in 10 games. They had only two goals in their last three games, but still went 1-1-1. The six goals were a season high.
THRASHERS 5, BRUINS 4, OT: At Atlanta, Ilya Kovalchuk scored his NHL-high 14th goal 3:42 into overtime to give Atlanta and win after Boston squandered three leads.
The Thrashers fell behind 2-0, 3-2 and 4-3 before Kovalchuk provided their only lead of the night with a power-play goal in the extra period.
Kovalchuk drew a penalty on Nick Boynton, getting pulled down at center ice, and Atlanta called a timeout to set up a play in the Boston zone. Slava Kozlov won the faceoff, and Frantisek Kaberle relayed the puck to Kovalchuk, who beat Felix Potvin with a slap shot off the far post.
COYOTES 5, BLUES 4: At Phoenix, Brian Savage and Shane Doan each had two goals and an assist for Phoenix. Savage scored the first and last goals of the game, beating St. Louis goaltender Chris Osgood for the second time with 1:45 remaining when he tapped in a rebound of a shot by Doan. The final goal helped the Coyotes snap an NHL record-tying, five consecutive-overtime streak just when it appeared they were headed for a sixth.
KINGS 3, PREDATORS 0: At Los Angeles, Roman Cechmanek posted a shutout for his 100th NHL victory, stopping 30 shots and helping Los Angeles end Nashville's three-game winning streak.
