Final Score: Los Angeles 2 - Dallas 1

Dallas, TX (Sports Network) - Jarret Stoll tallied the lone goal in the sixth round of the shootout, as Los Angeles topped Dallas, 2-1, at American Airlines Center.

After Jamie Benn's shot to open the round found its way into the sliding pad of Jonathan Bernier, Stoll ripped a wrister under the crossbar to end the game.

"I felt that if I put it where I wanted it to go I would beat him and it turned out right for me tonight," said Stoll about his goal.

Fredrik Modin provided the offense for the Kings, who have won two of three and reached the 40-win plateau for the first time since the 2005-06 campaign.

Starting an NHL contest for the first time since October, 2007, Bernier made 29 saves in regulation and overtime for the win.

Brenden Morrow notched the lone goal for the Stars, who have dropped five of six since the return from the Olympic break. Marty Turco was the hard-luck loser with 27 saves.

"You know we have to gain some ground here if we want to get back in the playoffs," said Turco. "Unfortunately you can't do that unless you win."

Modin's power-play marker with 35 seconds remaining in the first period was the lone score of the opening 20 minutes.

In a scoreless second period, Bernier stopped 10 shots and Turco was equal to six.

Morrow's quick conversion of a Mike Modano dish at the right side of the net knotted the score at 6:29 of the third period.

Los Angeles outshot Dallas 3-1 in a scoreless overtime.
