Stars, Penguins lead 2-0

Mike Modano and the Dallas Stars probably don't want to leave the Shark Tank. At least they're doing it with a two-game lead in a second-round NHL playoff series that's turning into a rout.

Modano scored the tiebreaking goal early in the Stars' four-goal third period, and Marty Turco made 29 saves in a 5-2 victory over the host Sharks in Game 2 on Sunday night, sending Dallas home with a commanding series lead.

Penguins 2, Rangers 0: Jordan Staal scored a power-play goal in the second period, and host Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury made the lead stand up, giving the Penguins a shutout victory over New York and a home-ice sweep of the first two games of their second-round series.

Games 3 and 4 will be Tuesday and Thursday nights at Madison Square Garden, where Pittsburgh is 0-3-1 this season.
