Ribeiro, Morrow and Erikson line reunion

After being split up for a few games, the reunited line of Mike Ribeiro, Brendan Morrow and Louie Erikson clicked right away in a big way.

Ribeiro had a goal and a career-high five points, Eriksson scored twice, and Morrow had a goal and two assists in the Dallas Stars’ 5-3 victory over the New York Islanders on Thursday night.

“Things weren’t going well earlier, and there was some frustration,” Morrow said. “It felt good getting back together.”

Krystofer Barch also scored for the Stars, who went 2-1 against the three New York-area teams this week.

Dallas beat the Rangers 2-1 on Monday and lost 5-0 at New Jersey on Wednesday. Marty Turco rebounded from a bad night by stopping 24 shots.

Turco was pulled in the second period Wednesday against the Devils after allowing three goals on 17 shots.

“One of the big differences between last night and tonight was Marty made some big saves early,” said Morrow. “It gave us a bit of confidence.”

The Stars pushed their lead to three with 98 seconds left in the period, just as their second power play expired. Eriksson scored from in-close, and Ribeiro set up the goal with another primary assist.

The Islanders had many scoring chances in the second period, including a two-man advantage for a full two minutes, but they were blanked.

They were also given another power play during that advantage, but again went scoreless. The Islanders finally broke through at 10:16 when Guerin banged in a rebound to get New York within 3-1.

Dallas went back up by three at 13:05 when Barch found the puck on his stick and ripped a shot past DiPietro off another assist by Ribeiro.

Ribeiro finally scored one of his own when he fired a pass from Mike Modano by DiPietro during a power play with 93 seconds left in the second period.

Streit connected for his first goal of the season, a power-play tally, at 3:28 of the third period. Sim scored the final goal with 2.1 seconds remaining in the game.
