DALLAS (AP) — Jack Hughes scored twice in New Jersey's four-goal first period, and the Devils handed Dallas consecutive losses in regulation for the first time in two months, beating the Stars 6-4 on Tuesday night.

Jesper Bratt and Connor Brown also had goals as the Devils put four of their first five shots past Jake Oettinger to end the Dallas goalie's career-best point streak at 14 games. Oettinger was pulled after the first period.

Wyatt Johnston had two goals to reach 40 for the first time in his career, and Jason Robertson scored his 39th for Dallas, which hadn't lost two in a row in regulation since dropping three straight from Jan. 13-18.

Johnston's second goal was his NHL-leading 24th on the power play, extending his franchise record set two nights earlier in a 3-2 loss to Vegas.

Playing for the first time since clinching a Western Conference playoff spot, the Stars lost to an East also-ran and fell seven points behind NHL-leading Colorado, their Central Division rival.

Hughes beat Oettinger one-on-one for both his goals, the latter when Luke Hughes connected with him on a two-line pass for a breakaway and a 4-1 lead 17:19 into the first.

Hughes has eight goals in eight games after going without one in his first five games following the gold medal-winning goal for Team USA against Canada in the Milan Cortina Olympics.

Johnston tied his career high with his 38th assist when Robertson got Dallas within a goal midway through the second period.

New Jersey's Timo Meier and Mavrik Bourque of Dallas traded third-period goals before an empty-netter from Dougie Hamilton.

Casey DeSmith replaced Oettinger and gave the Stars a chance late by stopping the first 12 shots he faced. Jake Allen had 23 saves for the Devils.

DALLAS (AP) — Moses Moody scored 23 points before crumpling to the floor with an apparently serious left knee injury late in overtime as the Golden State Warriors beat Dallas 137-131 on Monday night, extending the Mavericks' home losing streak to 12 games, their longest in 32 years.

Moody had just stolen the ball from Mavericks rookie standout Cooper Flagg near midcourt and was all alone at the basket when his left leg buckled as he went up for the shot.

He lost the ball and went to the floor holding his knee, the clock finally stopping with 58 seconds remaining in the extra period after play continued on Dallas' offensive end.

After the whistle, Warriors coach Steve Kerr put his hands to his face as the Mavericks’ home arena went silent. Players and medical staff surrounded Moody, who stayed down for several minutes before being taken off on a stretcher. Kerr said Moody was getting X-rays at the arena.

“We don’t know what it is, but it sure looked bad,” Kerr said.

Moody was playing for the first time after missing 10 games with a sprained right wrist. He was one of eight scorers in double figures for the Warriors, with Kristaps Porzingis scoring 23 points while Brandin Podziemski had 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Golden State, which is solidly in the play-in tournament in the Western Conference with 10 games remaining in the regular season, stopped a three-game losing streak with just its second victory in the past 10 games.

Flagg had 30 points and nine assists but also finished with seven turnovers, including three during an 11-0 Golden State run that broke a tie at the start the fourth quarter. Daniel Gafford scored 20.

There was only one more point scored after Moody's injury as both teams struggled to continue what had been an intense game. Golden State erased a 15-point deficit from late in the first half and the Mavericks clawed back after the Warriors' run to start the fourth.

The Mavericks lost a second consecutive OT game and dropped to 4-23 since a four-game win streak, their longest in a lost season.

Dallas is on its longest skid at the 25-year old American Airlines Center. The Mavs had home losing streaks of 19 and 12 games during the 1993-94 season at since-demolished Reunion Arena.

Gary Payton II made all eight of his shots and finished with 17 points for the Warriors, and Gui Santos scored 11 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter and overtime.

DALLAS (AP) — Darius Garland scored a season-high 41 points, Kawhi Leonard added 34 with a tying bucket late in regulation and the Los Angeles Clippers beat Dallas 138-131 in overtime on Saturday night, extending the Mavericks’ longest home losing streak in 32 years to 11 games.

Derrick Jones Jr. scored 15 points with a pair of 3-pointers in the extra period, and Garland had 11 assists as the Clippers ended a four-game skid that followed a four-game winning streak.

Los Angeles pulled even with Portland for eighth in the Western Conference. Both teams are safely in the mix for the play-in tournament.

Naji Marshall scored 28 points for the Mavericks, who are on their longest skid at the 25-year old American Airlines Center. Dallas had home losing streaks of 19 and 12 games during the 1993-94 season at since-demolished Reunion Arena.

Marshall's steal and assist for P.J. Washington's dunk put Dallas ahead 122-120, but Leonard scored after a timeout to get the Clippers even with 19 seconds to go.

Cooper Flagg, who scored 18 points, missed a jumper in the final seconds, and Washington was just late when he swished a jumper after grabbing an offensive rebound. Washington scored 21 points.

Garland also had a season high with eight 3-pointers, the last following one from Jones that put Los Angeles ahead for good at 125-124 in overtime. A bucket from Leonard and another 3 from Jones put the Clippers up by nine.

Leonard, who has alternated between playing and sitting over the past four games while nursing a sprained left ankle, played 36 minutes, including all of overtime.

Flagg, the rookie No. 1 pick, had nine rebounds and seven assists while matching his season high with four blocked shots.
