VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Tyler Seguin had a goal and an assist and the Dallas Stars beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 Thursday night for their sixth win in seven games.
Justin Dowling, Alexander Radulov and Blake Comeau also scored for Dallas (10-8-2). Joe Pavelski and Miro Heiskanen each added two assists. The Stars, who beat the Flames 3-1 Wednesday night in Calgary, are 6-0-1 in their last seven games.
Jake Virtanen and Troy Stecher scored for the Canucks (10-7-3). Vancouver has one win in its last six games (1-4-1).
Anton Khudobin made 32 saves for Dallas. Vancouver's Jacob Markstrom stopped 25 shots.
Seguin scored on a three-way passing play with 1:49 left in the second period to give Dallas a 3-2 lead after 40 minutes. He carried the puck up ice and dropped it to Pavelski, who passed to Heiskanen. He tapped it back to Seguin, who scored for just his second goal in 16 games.
Comeau had put the Stars ahead 2-0 at 4:03 of the second. He skated around Stecher then, falling to the ice, put a backhand under Markstrom's glove. It was his first goal in six games this season.
Virtanen cut the lead to one at 5:21. He made a drop pass to Tanner Pearson, who took a shot on goal. Khudobin made the save but gave up a rebound, which Virtanen put into the gapping net.
Stecher tied it at 11:30 with a shot from the blue line that changed direction.
Dowling scored the game's first goal at 3:45 of the opening period. The 29-year-old from Calgary skated between two Canuck defensemen and took a pass from Seguin. He then used a toe drag and lifted the puck over Markstrom for his second goal in as many nights.
