DALLAS (AP) -- Ed Belfour didn't gave the Los Angeles Kings a chance to finally beat the Dallas Stars.

Belfour made 36 saves as the Stars ran their franchise-record unbeaten streak against Los Angeles to 22 games with a 3-1 victory Wednesday night.

Dallas, 4-0 against Los Angeles this season, is 16-0-6 against the Kings since April 6, 1995. The Minnesota North Stars had a 21-game streak (17-0-4) against the Kings from 1970-73.

"I felt real focused," said Belfour, 20-13-4 this season. "I like playing in games where I see a lot of shots. I want to play in games like that, where I have to make every save I can. Sometimes it's easier when the shots come one after the other."

Los Angeles outshot Dallas 37-18.

"Eddie kept us in the game and let us win," said Stars defenseman Darryl Sydor, who had two assists. "We got outworked quite a bit but we'll take the two points."

Belfour had no explanation for his team's domination of the Kings.

"The stars must be lined up right or something," Belfour said. "It's just something that's worked out for us."

For the Kings, the frustration against the Stars continues.

"I don't think we could have played a better game," Kings left wing Luc Robitaille said. "If we play like that, we could score seven or eight goals tomorrow. But Belfour was in the zone."

Sergei Zubov scored the tiebreaking goal on a power play early in the second period. Zubov's slap shot from the right point beat goalie Jamie Storr.

Mike Modano had a goal and two assists, and Brett Hull added an empty-net goal with 14.1 seconds left for the injury-plagued Stars. Dallas is missing several of its top players, including defenseman Derian Hatcher, center Joe Nieuwendyk and left wing Jere Lehtinen.

"We're missing a lot of guys, but we're finding ways to win," Modano said. "It may be ugly, but it's points on the board."

The Stars' penalty killers kept the Kings scoreless in six power-play chances as Dallas improved to 9-3 in its last 12 games.

The Stars took a 1-0 lead at 11:10 of the first period on Modano's rebound goal. Modano's 19th goal of the season came one second after the Kings killed a power play.

The Kings tied it at 18:24 of the opening period when Craig Johnson scored his sixth of the season on a wrist shot from the right circle.
