DALLAS -- Brenden Morrow, Jason Arnott and Marty Turco
may have moved one step closer toward making Canada's Olympic
team.
Morrow and Arnott scored goals and Turco recorded his 100th
career victory as the Dallas Stars snapped a two-game losing
streak with a 2-1 triumph over the Calgary Flames.
The three Dallas standouts were among 81 chosen Wednesday as
potential players for Team Canada, which will attempt to defend
its gold medal in February at the 2006 Turin Games.
Dallas snapped a 1-1 tie at 5:55 of the third period when
defenseman Philippe Boucher's blast from the right point
deflected off Antti Miettinen and Morrow before getting past
goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff.
In his sixth season, the 26-year-old Morrow was credited with
his second goal of the season and 99th career.
"If he had scored in the last 30 seconds, we'd have fought over
the puck (as a souvenir)," Turco said.
Arnott had tied the game with 3:43 remaining in the first, when
he redirected a goal-line feed from Morrow for his second tally
and seventh point. Captain Mike Modano leads the Stars with
eight.
"Both our goals were hard plays at the net," Stars coach Dave
Tippett said. "Brenden goes hard to the net, just grit plays.
You do those enough and you get rewarded."
Making 29 saves, Turco became the sixth goaltender in franchise
history to win 100 games and raised his record to 21-4-1 in his
last 26 contests against the league's six Canadian teams.
"The two games against Calgary have been his two best games,"
Tippett said. "He did a lot of the things we talked about. He
gave us a chance to win, and that's what we expect from him."
Turco, who was in goal for the Stars' 3-2 overtime victory over
the Flames on October 13, has a 59-14-13 career home record, the
league's third-best since 1943-1944.
"He played extremely well," Calgary captain Jarome Iginla said.
"There were a couple of point-blank stops around the crease."
Calgary entered the game with the league's worst power play
(4-for-50) and went just 1-for-9 against the Stars. Tony Amonte
scored his third goal of the season on a 5-on-3 advantage early
in the first period, the Flames' first tally with the man
advantage in 18 chances against Dallas.
"It's more than just the power play," Iginla said. "We have to
generate more offense. It's been that way the past few games."
"We played well enough to win," Flames coach Darryl Sutter said.
"Both scores were off deflections. Turco was great, but our
skill guys have to produce."
