Posted November 16, 2007 10:00 pm
DALLAS -- Jussi Jokinen scored 4 goals, including a second-period hat track in about 7 minutes, and the Dallas Stars beat Colorado 6-1 on Friday night to end a four-game home losing streak.
The last 4-goal game by a Stars player was in March 2000 by Brett Hull, who this week became an interim co-general manager for the struggling team after GM Doug Armstrong was fired.
After scoring on Dallas' first shot of the game, Jokinen had 3 of the 4 goals the Stars had in a span of 7:05 of the second period to make it 5-0. Colorado then pulled goaltender Jose Theodore.
Jokinen had scored only 3 goals the first 17 games.
