Modano’s goal lifts Stars past Coyotes

Mike Modano scored the go-ahead goal on a power play with 3:12 remaining as the host Dallas Stars won their seventh straight to match a franchise record, 2-1 over the Phoenix Coyotes on Monday.

With the game tied at 1, the Stars had a 5-on-3 advantage when Modano notched the 523rd goal of his career, most in NHL history by a U.S.-born player.

Modano’s 16th of the season came on a one-timer from the high slot off a pass from Jere Lehtinen.

Dallas has a seven-game winning streak for the fourth time in club history.
