Goaltender Jonathan Bernier, who had given up 11 goals in his two previous starts, stopped 24 of 26 shots in a 5-2 victory over Edmonton. Dallas has taken control of the Pacific Division, earning at least one point in 21 of its last 26 games. The Stars are 17-5-4 during that stretch. The Stars’ Brad Richards is sixth in the NHL with 52 points. He has 18 goals and 34 assists. Dallas’ Loui Eriksson scored at least one point in nine consecutive games (one goal, 10 assists), the longest active point streak in the NHL.
