DALLAS (AP) – Ben Bishop got help from backup Anton Khudobin in a combined shutout and the Dallas Stars beat the Calgary Flames 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Jamie Benn and Radek Faksa scored for the Stars as they dominated the first two periods.
Bishop was injured with 6:23 remaining in the second period when Garnet Hathaway skated into him behind the net. Khudobin closed out the period with three saves, and Bishop returned for the third, when he made 12 of his 21 stops. Hathaway was penalized for goaltender interference.
Dallas returned from an 0-4 trip to win their fifth straight home game. The Pacific Division-leading Flames had won three straight and eight of nine.
David Rittich stopped 26 shots for the Flames.
Dallas outshot Calgary 14-6 in the first period, including 11-3 over the first 12 minutes. Its best early chance came 9 1/2 minutes in, when Miro Heiskanen’s shot hit the right goalpost.
