DALLAS – Philippe Boucher and Jere Lethinen each had a goal and an assist for the Dallas Stars, who set a season high for goals in a 7-5 victory Sunday over the Colorado Avalanche in a game neither starting goaltender finished.

Jeff Halpern scored on a rebound with 2:28 left for the Stars, who fended off three power plays with some nice saves by Mike Smith in the final 12 minutes to win their third straight game.

All-Star goalie Marty Turco was pulled from his second straight start, yanked after giving up two goals in less than a minute midway through the second period. Colorado’s Peter Budaj had been replaced earlier in the period after Dallas went ahead 4-1.

Within a minute after rookie Wojtek Wolski scored to get Colorado within 4-3 and chase Turco, the Stars stretched the lead. Halpern knocked the puck to the front of the net and Joel Lundqvist deflected it over the shoulder of Jose Theodore.

Turco gave up three goals on 15 shots after also being pulled from his last start Tuesday. Smith stopped 12 of 14 shots, with a sprawling save at the end of an odd-man rush at the end of the second period.

Budaj gave up four goals on 15 shots and Thedore allowed three goals in 10 shots.
