DALLAS (AP) - Mike Ribeiro and Jere Lehtinen each scored two goals, Darryl Sydor added three assists and Marty Turco made 17 saves to help the Dallas Stars beat the San Jose Sharks 5-2 on Sunday.

After consecutive shutouts, the Sharks ended their team-record scoreless streak at 190 minutes, 22 seconds on Mark Bell's power-play deflection at 1:52 of the third period. San Jose's previous record shutout streak was 165 minutes, 38 seconds from Jan. 21-Feb. 1, 1999.

Stu Barnes added a goal and Lehtinen's empty-netter with 1:35 left was his second of the game to help the Stars improve to 9-3-1 in their last 13 games, including a 6-1-1 run at home.

Sergei Zubov contributed two assists for Dallas, which moved to 72 points, one behind second-place San Jose in the Pacific Division.

Mike Grier also scored and Evgeni Nabokov had 16 saves for the Sharks, who have lost their last three and were beginning the second half of a season-long eight-game road trip.
