Stars edges Oilers
DALLAS -- Mike Modano scored on a power play with 2:21 remaining to give the Dallas Stars a 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night.
Modano broke a tie with his 537th career goal, beating rookie Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers from the left circle off a feed from Brad Richards. Modano, the career goal leader among U.S.-born players, became the 31st NHL player to reach 1,300 points.
Sean Avery gave Dallas -- last in the Western Conference -- a 3-2 lead with 5:09 remaining off a centering pass from rookie James Neal, but the Oilers tied it with 3:22 left on Kyle Brodziak's goal off a rebound, his second goal of the game.
Toby Petersen scored his first goal in two seasons, and Mike Ribeiro added a power-play goal for Dallas. Ales Hemsky also scored for Edmonton.
