THE BATTALIO!
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*

veterans and youngsters to fill
skates of Guerin. He’s

with a severe thigh injury thaii

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«

said wing Claude Lemiem

Phoenix in a Jan. 17 trait
“You look at the great le®
and your top guys are alwi

come down to everybody."
Now it’s up to Armstrongil
Tippett to determine if they I®

"I think we have the pi

“We did a lot of our workgti

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.
