DALLAS – The Coyotes were ahead or even with the Stars for much of Friday’s tilt, but once the Stars wrestled the lead away, they didn’t let go of it – securing a 5-2 win at American Airlines Center that capped an 0-2 road trip for the Coyotes.
Stars captain Jamie Benn broke a 2-2 tie just 3:03 into the third after retrieving a dump-in, faking a shot and then going for a wrap-around that caught goalie Louis Domingue off guard. Winger Lauri Korpikoski buried a rebound at 9:22 to add an insurance tally, and center Cody Eakin chipped in another off a glove-side wrist shot with 4:02 to go.
