DALLAS -- Semyon Varlamov has mastered beating the Dallas Stars.
Swingman Kyle Singler Jersey . Varlamov made 41 saves in the Colorado Avalanches 4-3 victory Monday night and beat the Stars
for the fourth straight time. Alex Tanguay scored the winning goal early in the
third period, and Varlamov made it stand up despite the best efforts of
rejuvenated Stars scoring leader Tyler Seguin. Colorado led twice, but both
times Seguin scored to tie the game. Seguin has 23 goals this season, but had
not scored in 13 games. He also had an assist on Jamie Benns first-period goal.
Varlamov stopped Seguin twice during a third-period power play with the score
tied. "On Jamies cross-crease pass, (Seguin) had about 18 inches of open net,"
Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "He just pushed the puck back into the goalies
pads." Varlamov knew he was challenged on that play. "(Seguin) is a good player.
Hes got a tough shot. Hes pretty skilled. Hes always dangerous, especially when
were penalty killing." The goalie also stopped Seguins drive from the left
faceoff circle as the Avalanche killed the penalty. Just 19 seconds later, at
4:13 of the third, Tanguays shot from low in the left circle hit a skate,
possibly Dallas defenceman Sergei Gonchars, and skidded past Stars goalie
Kari Lehtonen for the 4-3 lead. "It wasnt pretty," Tanguay said, "but those
things happen. I had (teammate Paul Stastny) at the corner of the net. If it
doesnt hit something else, it probably goes in with him." Colorados
Nathan MacKinnon scored on the games first shot. Jamie McGinn also scored in the
first period, and Stastny connected on a power play in the second. "The first
five minutes," Ruff said. "After that, we dominated. Their goalie stole the
show. "We had five or six point-blank chances in the second to blow the game
apart. He was there and he made some great saves." Maxime Talbot and
Gabriel Landeskog had two assists apiece for the Avalanche. Alex Goligoski
assisted twice for Dallas. The Avalanche won two of three games on a road trip
that ended Monday. The Stars had won their previous three games by a 14-1
combined margin. MacKinnon scored after a shot was knocked down in front. The
puck went to him just to the left of the goal, and he tapped in a shot before
Lehtonen could slide across to that side. Lehtonen had allowed only one goal in
67 shots during the three previous games. Colorado scored again at 15:57 of the
first period. After blocking a shot by Dallas Alex Chiasson in their end, the
Avalanche attacked. Lehtonen stopped Matt Duchenes shot, but McGinn took the
rebound in front and flipped a backhand into the top of the net. The Stars cut
their deficit to 2-1 just 1 1/2 minutes later. Colorado tried to clear from
behind the net, but Seguin retrieved the puck on the left wing boards and
dropped it to Benn in the faceoff circle. His wrist shot beat Varlamov upstairs
for Benns 20th goal. Seguin tied the game 2-2 with a 4-on-3 power play at 1:02
of the second period. Benn passed from the right circle across to Seguin, who
beat Varlamov on the short side. "It felt good," Seguin said, "like I lost the
monkey off my back for sure, getting that goal." The goal extended Dallas streak
to eight games with a power-play goal (10 total). The Avalanche regained the
lead on Stastnys power-play goal at 17:57. The Stars had successfully killed 16
consecutive penalties before that. Dallas tied 16 seconds later, when Seguin
sent a drive from the right circle under Varlamovs right arm. "That was my
goal," Varlamov said. "I could have moved a little bit, so I was not happy about
it. I tried to regroup for myself and get ready for the third period. The third
period was huge for us." He faced a total of 13 shots from the Stars two leading
scorers, eight by Benn and five by Varlamov. "Hes having a great year," Benn
said, "and had another good game tonight." NOTES: A big difference between

within the Central Division, and the Stars are 6-9-5. . Tanguay has points in
six of his last seven games against the Stars. . MacKinnon has four goals and
