<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.defendingbigd.com/">Dallas Stars</a> rode a pair of third period goals to a 5-3 win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.anaheimcalling.com/">Anaheim Ducks</a> Monday night at American Airlines Center. The loss was the 12th straight road defeat for the Ducks, who are 5-18-5 overall in their last 28 games.</p>
<p>The Ducks fell behind by a goal after one period after <span>Brenden Morrow</span> scored his seventh goal in the opening period. Less than two minutes into the second period, the hole became much deeper, as the Stars scored a pair of goals 24 seconds apart, by <span>Alex Goligoski</span> and <span>Mike Ribeiro</span>.</p>
<p>However, Anaheim was able to claw their way back with a little help from Dallas penalties. <span>Teemu Selanne</span> scored his 11th goal of the season at 4:30 of the second period, then assisted on another power play goal 10 minutes later, this one by <span>Lubomir Visnovsky</span>. <span>Nick Bonino</span> scored his first goal of the season for the Ducks at 18:27 of the second period to tied the score at 3-3.</p>
<p>With two points, Selanne moved past former Star <span>Mike Modano</span> for 22nd place on the all-time NHL point list with 1,375. Selanne is two goals away from 650 in his career.</p>
<p><span>Michael Ryder</span> scored a goal at 6:42 of the third period to give the Stars the lead, and <span>Eric Nystrom</span> added another goal eight minutes later to provide the final margin.</p>
<p>Anaheim is 0-3 on their current five-game road trip. The Ducks return home Monday night as their next game is Thursday night against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.jewelsfromthecrown.com/">Kings</a> at Staples Center in Los Angeles.</p>

<p>The Ducks lost 3-1 to the Stars in Anaheim on October 21 in their only previous matchup this season.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.anaheimcalling.com/">Anaheim Ducks</a> head to the Lone Star State on Monday night looking to snap their 11-game road losing streak, facing the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.defendingbigd.com/">Dallas Stars</a> at the American Airlines Center. The team is 2-5-1 under new head coach Bruce Boudreau.</p>
<p>The Ducks are 28th in the 30-team NHL in goal scoring, averaging just 2.34 goals per game. But poor play by the goaltenders have helped fuel the road losing streak and a 5-17-5 record overall in their last 27 games. "There was a couple others where I didn't think the goalie did a good job of keeping us in the game when he needed to keep us in the game," Boudreau <a target="_blank" href="http://ducks.nhl.com/club/preview.htm?id=2011020483">told Davis Harper of NHL.com</a>. "They've got to make those saves."</p>
<p><span>Teemu Selanne</span> had two assists on Saturday night in his return to Winnipeg after 16 years away. The 41-year old Selanne has at least one point in each of his last eight games, with two goals and nine assists during that span. With 10 goals and 23 assists on the season, Selanne leads the Ducks in points.</p>
<p>The Ducks lost 3-1 to the Stars in Anaheim on October 21 in their only previous matchup this season. At 18-12-1 on the season, Dallas is in first place in the Pacific Division.</p>
