Bishop makes 27 saves, Stars beat winless Coyotes 3-1<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Bishop makes 27 saves, Stars beat winless Coyotes 3-1:- Ken Hitchcock had been looking for scoring from somewhere besides the Dallas Stars’ top line.<\/span><\/p>\n

The third-winningest coach in NHL history got what he wanted Tuesday night, when Radek Faksa, Dan Hamhuis and Alexander Radulov each scored their first goal of the season in a 3-1 victory over the winless Arizona Coyotes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first two goals came with the line centered by Faksa on the ice.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Faksa’s line was great,” Hitchcock said. “They created a lot of scoring chances. Faksa’s line was on the same page from start to finish.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming into the game, Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn from the first line had scored five of Dallas’ 11 goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arizona (0-5-1) remained the only NHL team without a win. The Coyotes tried to rally from a 2-0 deficit, beginning with a second-period goal by Jason Demers. They outshot Dallas 15-9 in the third, but goalie Ben Bishop stopped all 15 shots for his third win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three of those saves came during the Coyotes’ only two power plays, early in the third. They had a 5-on-3 advantage for 17 seconds, but Bishop saved both shots on goal during that stretch.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The penalty kill was huge there in the third period,” Bishop said. “The guys did a good job, and obviously you can’t rest after killing off the 5-on-3. We killed off the 5-on-4 after that.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Adin Hill made his NHL debut in goal for the Coyotes and had 31 saves to keep them in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I thought Adin Hill did a nice job for us, was solid in the net,” coach Rick Tocchet said. “The guys worked hard and just couldn’t score.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Radulov, who skates with Seguin and Benn, scored into an empty net with 52 seconds left. It was Dallas’ third empty-net goal of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Stars (3-3) have won two straight for the first time this season. They can equal their longest winning streak of 2016-17 with a victory Thursday at Arizona.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bishop finished with 27 saves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Faksa scored 5:17 into the first period. Mattias Janmark skated from the left side around the net and tried for a wraparound goal. Hill stopped the shot, but Faksa backhanded the rebound over the prone goalie.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s a goal in the NHL, right?” Hill said. “There are goals nearly every game. Just got to focus on the next shot. That’s all it is, wipe it from your memory.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Dallas’ lead grew to 2-0 at 10:48 of the second, when Tyler Pitlick found Hamhuis low in the left circle and fed him a pass from the right corner. Hill couldn’t react fast enough to stop the defenseman’s slap shot. Faksa received an assist on the play.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We wanted to be strong on the puck,” Faksa said. “We had the rebound, and a great pass by (Pitlick) and an even better shot by (Hamhuis). It was a nice goal.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Demers scored for Arizona at 14:40. He picked up the puck from teammate Max Domi, skated to the middle of the left circle and lifted a wrist shot inside the right post.<\/span><\/p>\n

NOTES: With goalie Antti Raanta out because of a lower-body injury, the 21-year-old Hill was recalled from Tucson of the AHL. His parents and 9-year-old brother traveled from Western Canada for the game. … The Stars have won their last 10 home games against Arizona dating to Feb. 7, 2012. … Coyotes D Oliver Ekman-Larsson played in his 500th NHL game. … Dallas’ Antoine Roussel and Arizona’s Luke Schenn fought just 1:26 into the game. … The Stars have not been outshot in a game this season. … Demers is one of three Coyotes defensemen, along with Alex Goligoski and Kevin Connauton, who played for Dallas.<\/span><\/p>\n
