Brett Hull scored 37 seconds into overtime as the Dallas Stars beat the Phoenix Coyotes, 2-1, Friday night at Phoenix to extend their unbeaten streak to 14 games.

Mike Modano also scored for the Stars, who are 11-0-3 since Dec. 4. The 14-game unbeaten streak matches the longest in the NHL this season. The Coyotes had a 14-game streak from Oct. 25 to Dec. 2.

Dallas, which opened an eight-point lead over Phoenix in the Pacific Division, is 7-0-2 in its last nine road games. Roman Turek made 26 saves for the Stars.

Deron Quint scored his first goal of the season with 32.6 seconds remaining in regulation to send the game into overtime.

But Hull took a pass from a stumbling Modano just in front of the crease and slipped the puck under Nikolai Khabibulin for the game-winner.

St. Louis 6, Nashville 5--Terry Yake scored with 44.7 seconds left, and Jamie McLennan was outstanding in relief of Grant Fuhr at Nashville as the Blues ended a 10-game road winless streak.

McLennan picked up his seventh win, stopping 17 of 18 shots after replacing Fuhr, who had given up four goals in the first 11 shots by the Predators.

Ottawa 4, Washington 3--Marian Hossa and Alexei Yashin scored 1:18 apart midway through the third period as the Senators erased a one-goal deficit at Washington.

Hossa tied the score at 3-3 with his second goal of the season, on a one-timer down the middle off a pass from Magnus Arvedson at 11:39.

Yashin skated untouched in front of the crease and backhanded the puck past goalie Olaf Kolzig.

Carolina 3, Florida 3--Keith Primeau’s goal with 17:44 to play lifted the Hurricanes to a tie at Sunrise, Fla.
