DALLAS (AP) - Tyler Seguin and Patrick Sharp scored back-to-back goals to start the shootout and the Dallas Stars ended a season-high three-game losing streak with a 2-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night.
Seguin stopped a three-game pointless streak, his longest of the season, with a first-period goal. Mathieu Perreault pulled Winnipeg even in the second period.
Kari Lehtonen stopped 27 of 28 shots in regulation and all five in overtime. Leading 2-1 in the shootout, he turned away Bryan Little to clinch his seventh win in nine games against the franchise that drafted him second overall in Atlanta in 2002.
The Western Conference-leading Stars hadn't lost consecutive games all season before going 0-2-1 on an East Coast trip.
Connor Hellebuyck had 23 saves in Winnipeg's first game since he tied a rookie franchise record with 43 stops against Nashville.
