Stars 5, Flames 1: Alex Chiasson recorded two goals and an assist and captain Jamie Benn also scored twice as host Dallas rolled to its second win in six games.

Lee Stempniak tallied and Karri Ramo stopped 29 shots for Calgary, which completed a 1-4-0 road trip.

Chiasson opened the scoring at 4:04 of the first period and completed his third career two-goal performance at 11:11 of the second by shoveling in a cross-slot pass from Whitney. The tally began a spurt of three in 61 seconds as Dallas opened a 4-1 lead.

Benn wrapped up his 11th career two-goal effort at 3:36 of the third, when he stuffed in a backhander at the left post.
