Seguin, Duchene each has 3 points, Stars edge Coyotes for 4th straight win

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Tyler Seguin and Matt Duchene each had a goal and two assists, and the Dallas Stars won their fourth straight game, 4-2 against the Arizona Coyotes at Mullett Arena on Sunday.

Miro Heiskanen scored the go-ahead goal late in the third period for the Stars (44-19-9), who have won nine of their past 11 games. Jake Oettinger made 26 saves.

“It was vintage Jake,” Stars coach Pete DeBoer said. “He looked comfortable. He made a couple of huge saves when he needed to, made some tough saves look easy. That was great to see.”

Clayton Keller scored for the fifth straight game, and Connor Ingram made 31 saves for the Coyotes (29-37-5), who have lost seven straight against the Stars.

“I like our effort, I like our fight, I like our performance, I hate the result,” Arizona coach Andre Tourigny said. “I wish our players had something to show for it. It’s frustrating.”

Heiskanen gave Dallas a 3-2 lead at 14:32 of the third with a slap shot from the right point following a turnover by Ingram. It was his first goal since Feb. 20 (15 games).

“It was a lucky bounce through the middle, and I just tried to get it through,” Heiskanen said.

Duchene then scored an empty-net goal at 18:30 for the 4-2 final.

The Stars have allowed two goals or fewer in each game during their winning streak (seven total).

“That's great, absolutely,” Oettinger said. “How many playoff games are 7-6? I've just got to take care of business, start doing that now and getting those habits. You do it all year, and then you can do it in the playoffs.”

Jamie Benn made it 1-0 at 4:21 of the first period. Wyatt Johnston won the puck from Arizona forward Nick Schmaltz in the corner and fed Benn for a one-timer from the left face-off circle. Benn has five goals in his past four games.

“The execution is at a high level right now,” defenseman Esa Lindell said of the Stars captain.

Keller tied it 1-1 at 18:44 after Michael Kesselring’s shot from the blue line deflected off Oettinger to him in the corner. It was his 30th goal of the season.

Seguin gave Dallas a 2-1 lead at 2:19 of the second period when Ryan Suter’s shot from the slot deflected off Ingram to Seguin along the goal line.

Nick Bjugstad tied it 2-2 at 7:26 of the third, scoring on a rebound six seconds after a power play expired.

“I don't think there was any need to get nervous even though they tied it up,” Lindell said. “We just stuck to our game plan, and even though they may have a little momentum from that, we just bounced back and tried to push.”

Arizona couldn’t capitalize on a 5-on-3 power play that lasted for 1:23 later in the third.

“The 5-on-3 you don’t score, it gives momentum to the other team,” Tourigny said. “It absolutely was the turning point.”

Heiskanen scored the game-winning goal 2:03 later.

“It was a huge, huge kill,” DeBoer said. “That's not only a turning point, but we grab momentum from the kill, go out immediately and score the goal. We’ve got a ton of momentum off that kill.”

NOTES: Dallas swept the three-game season series and is 20-2-1 against Arizona since March 31, 2016. … Coyotes defenseman Cameron Crotty played 10:03 in his NHL debut after he was inserted into the lineup for Josh Brown, who was a late scratch due to an illness. … Keller is the first Coyotes player with a five-game goal streak since Yanic Perreault in 2006-07, and the third with consecutive 30-goal seasons, joining Jeremy Roenick (1999-2001) and Keith Tkachuk (1996-99).
