Dalls Stars 4, Los Angeles Kings 2
BOXSCORE

DALLAS (Ticker) -- Mike Modano snapped a tie with 56 seconds left to become the Dallas Stars' all-time leading scorer in a 4-2 victory over the Los Angels Kings.

Modano was selected by the Minnesota North Stars with the top overall pick in the 1988 draft and had 866 points with the franchise entering the game, leaving him one shy of Neal Broten's record. Modano tied the mark by assisting on Jere Lehtinen's goal 61 seconds into the third period that gave Dallas a 2-1 lead. But Los Angeles tied it with 13:50 remaining on Bob Corkum's rebound tally.

In the final minute, Modano tried to deflect Mike Keane's shot while cutting through the slot, but the puck went off his leg and into the left faceoff circle. He retrieved it and let go a shot that bounced off goaltender Steve Passmore's shoulder before settling in the net for the milestone point. Modano capped his memorable night by picking up his 500th NHL assist on Lehtinen's empty-netter with 26 seconds left.

Dallas avenged an 8-0 loss to Los Angeles on January 30 and improved to 14-2-3 all-time against the Kings at Reunion Arena.
