GLENDALE — Loui Eriksson scored twice to lead the Dallas Stars to a 3-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday night.

The Stars snapped a three-game losing streak with their second win in seven games.

Mark Parrish added a power-play goal, and Mike Ribeiro added three assists. Marty Turco made 25 saves for his fifth win of the season and the 212th of his NHL career.

The Stars won in Phoenix for the 10th time in the last 14 meetings the desert.

Steve Reinprecht and Kevin Porter scored for the Coyotes, who lost their second straight after winning three in a row.

Eriksson also had a two-goal game against the New York Islanders on Oct. 23.

Eriksson scored his first goal on a backhander with 2:54 left in the opening period. Rushing down the right wing, Eriksson converted a pass off the boards from Ribeiro into his seventh goal of the season.

The lead could have been larger, but Phoenix killed off a double-minor to Olli Jokinen for high-sticking just 30 seconds into the game.

The Coyotes evened matters when Reinprecht scored at 2:32 of the second period. Reinprecht used Kyle Turris — stationed just outside the crease — as a decoy and then slid the puck behind Turco for his third goal of the season.

Tied for 22nd in the NHL in power-play goals, the Stars went ahead with the man advantage. Parrish scored his third-power play goal and fourth goal overall this season when he tipped in Sergei Zubov's shot from the blue line at 8:13 of the middle session.

Eriksson picked up his second of the game when he scored off a goalmouth scramble with 55 seconds left in the second period.

Phoenix came back 16 seconds later when the rookie Porter, last season's college player of the year at the University of Michigan, converted a centering pass from Mikkel Boedker into his third of the season.

The Coyotes had an opportunity to tie it late. The Stars' Steve Avery was whistled for a holding minor at 12:45 of the final period, but Phoenix failed to convert.

● Dallas' Mike Modano needs six points to reach 1,300 in his 19-year NHL career. He would be the 31st player in league history to reach that level.

● Ribeiro had his second three-point game of the season.
