Stars play on despite injurie By Joel Anderson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS free agents. DALLAS — It’s been an unusually painful month for the NHL’s top team. The Dallas Stars have endured the loss of two All-Stars to injuries, just as Ottawa and Vancouver have closed the gap in the race for the Presidents Trophy and home-ice advantage in the playoffs. The Stars enter the final month of the regular season with out much hope of seeing goal- tender Marty Turco and power forward Bill Guerin on the ice within the next two weeks. Dallas remains atop the league standings by relying on a roster worth more than $60 mil lion, but there still may be changes in the works. The NHL’s trade deadline is Tuesday, and the Stars may be in the market for reinforcements down the stretch. “We’re going to assess the situation and do what we can to improve the team,” general manager Doug Armstrong said. “I think we would be looking to do that whether Bill and Marty are hurt or not.” Armstrong has been success ful improving the team so far. Shortly after the Stars missed last season’s playoffs for the first time in six years, Armstrong began overhauling the organization. He hired out sider Dave Tippett as coach, inserted Turco into the starting lineup and signed a slew of highly sought including Guerin. As a result, Dallas has been at or near the top of the Western Conference standings for much of the season; Guerin, Turco and center Mike Modano were named All-Stars; and a team used to the iron-fisted regime of coach Ken Hitchcock easily adjusted to the more laid-back Tippett. With GUERIN Wednesday night’s win over the fad ing Chicago Blackhawks, Dallas has already sur passed last season’s vic tory and point totals. The Stars have 37 victo ries and 91 points in 67 games. They had 36 wins and 90 points in 82 games last year. “This is by far the deepest team I’ve ever played on." said defenseman Philippe Boucher, who was with Tippett in Los Angeles last year. “We are deep, but the games aren’t going to get any easier.” Not with eight of the Stars’ remaining 15 games against teams in the playoff hunt, including two showdowns against Vancouver. Veteran goaltender Ron Tugnutt has been erratic in 10 starts since Turco went down with a sprained ankle on Feb. 11. Tugnutt’s performances have ranged from a shutout against Chicago on Feb. 23 to allowing five goals against against lowly Buffalo. Tups has a 2.41 goals-against ave® and a .899 save percentage, That’s solid fora35-yeawi backup, but not quite the N| best 1.77 GAA and . percentage that Turco hasp® in his first year replacing loi time All-Star Ed Belfour. "Ron has been sporadic* Marty has gone Armstrong said, “but we'recte fident he’ll get more consistem' Even when Tugnutt been at his best, Dallas! the luxury of turning loa veterans and youngsters to fill skates of Guerin. He’s least the rest of the regular,® with a severe thigh injury thaii has him in a Dallas hospital. The Stars have scored goals in their last three gai without Guerin, and Wednesday’s victory o Chicago, seven players scoit; as Dallas matched a season-lij offensive effort. “You can’t rely on three« four guys and expect to win,' said wing Claude Lemiem who came to Dallas fid!

Now it’s up to Armstrongil Tippett to determine if they I® enough for a championship "I think we have the pi in place to compete for Ik Stanley Cup,” Armstrong “We did a lot of our workgti ting deptli in the offseason." Wright SPORTS IN BRIEF Continued from page 3 especially in a league like the Big 12. But Wright said he never worried about the expectations. “I just want to be the best player 1 can be,” Wright said. “I talked to Bernard about (the expectations) but I haven’t really struggled with them.” A&M Head Coach Melvin Watkins said he recruited the high school All-American because he knew Wright would make an immediate impact on the A&M squad. “The first time I saw him play I saw a lot of poten tial and knew he was a very talented basketball play er,” Watkins said. Wright’s teammates have welcomed his talent to the team, including King, the career Big 12 scoring leader. Some of King’s critics wondered how he would react to sharing the spotlight with someone like Wright, but King said he never worried about it and wanted to play with Wright. “I told him (before he committed to A&M) that we would be one of the best 1-2 punches in the nation,” King said. They have become one of the top duos in the Big 12, accounting for 44 percent of the Aggie offense. “He is one of the best teammates I’ve ever had,” King said. “He’s been special to me and this team.” Wright said he hopes to help A&M become even better while he is here. “All of my goals are team oriented,” he said. “I want to be in the postseason every year.” Wright and company should get their first chance at the postseason in nine years this season. With one more win this year the Aggies should get a bid for the National Invitation Tournament. Wright and the Aggies will face off against Oklahoma State University at 12:45 p.m. Saturday in Stillwater, Okla., before playing in the Big 12 Tournament, which begins next Thursday at American Airlines Arena in Dallas.
