BOX SCORE
TORONTO (AP) -- Although Brett Hull plays nothing like his father
did, he's now ahead of him on the career goals list.

Hull scored his 611th goal, breaking a tie with his father,
Bobby, as Dallas Stars defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-1 Monday
night.
"It's kind of eerie to be able to put up the same numbers, and
yet be so opposite," Hull said. "I think it makes it more
special.
"The first thing you should notice is 'Holy cow, this kid can't
skate a lick, and his father was one of the most graceful guys to
ever play the game with power and speed,' and I'm the dead
opposite. I play the game more from the brain as opposed to the
body."
Hulls is now three goals short of passing Mario Lemieux for
eighth place on the career list.
"No matter how many goals I've scored I'm certainly not flashy,
and when you're not flashy you almost look like a plumber out there
and they forget about you," Hull said.
"Plus I'm not a big celebrator or very physical, so you don't
have people thinking about you and that's how to stay invisible."
Toronto coach Pat Quinn, who once played against Bobby, said the
only similarity between the two is that they're both blond.
"Bobby was the dominate one. He was 'Give me the puck and I'll
bull through everybody,"' Quinn said. "Brett has always gotten
himself into a position where a good playmaker could find him.
Brett has that incredible talent."
Hull one-timed a pass from Morrow to tie the game 7:22 into the
last period.
"It was nice to see him pass his father," Toronto's Darcy
Tucker said. "But that was the turning point."
Less than two minutes later, Derian Hatcher took a pass from
Hull and sent a shot that deflected off the boards to Morrow, who
put it past Curtis Joseph.
Morrow and Hull also assisted on Joe Nieuwendyk's goal with 6:02
remaining in the game.
Hull and Morrow each had a goal and two assists in the third
period.
Dallas goalie Ed Belfour stopped 30 shots.
Rookie defenseman Petr Svoboda gave Toronto a 1-0 lead with his
first career goal 14:22 into the game.
Joseph had 20 saves for Toronto.
