Trevor Daley and Jamie Benn scored power-play goals, Loui Eriksson added a third-period score, and the Dallas Stars beat the visiting Anaheim Ducks 3-1 on Friday night.

Eriksson gave the Stars some breathing room when he corralled Alex Goligoski's cross-ice pass and fired a wrist shot past Anaheim goaltender Viktor Fasth with 7:14 remaining.

Goligoski, who was a healthy scratch Wednesday in Edmonton, added two assists for Dallas (6-5-1), which earned its third consecutive win.

Nick Bonino scored for the Ducks (7-2-1), who had won four in a row.

Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller left after the first period with a lower body injury. He made 14 saves, and Fasth finished with 11 stops.

The Stars' power-play unit struck twice in the first period. It went 2 for 5 overall after managing just one goal on 16 opportunities over the previous five games.

Flames: Calgary placed goalie Miikka Kiprusoff and center Mikael Backlund on injured reserve. Kiprusoff was added to the I.R. retroactively and is considered day to day with a lower-body injury. Backlund (MCL sprain) is expected to miss four to six weeks.
