Lauri Korpikoski got his confidence back.

Korpikoski scored his first two goals of the season as the Phoenix Coyotes beat the visiting Dallas Stars 5-2 on Friday night.

"You lose so much confidence when you're not scoring," said Korpikoski, who failed to earn a point in his first 16 games since coming to the Coyotes from the New York Rangers in the off-season. "It's a different game when you get the first one, everything slows down for you and you start to make plays with confidence again."

Robert Lang, Adrian Aucoin and Zbynek Michalek also scored to help the Coyotes snap a two-game losing streak. Matthew Lombardi and Scottie Upshall each had three assists for Phoenix in its fifth straight victory over Dallas.

"I thought we used our speed to our advantage and with Lombo up the middle, he was skating great and making plays," Upshall said. "We were tough in those tough areas and we got pucks out and battled around the net and that's where we found our goals."

Brenden Morrow and Mike Ribiero scored third-period goals for the Stars.

The Coyotes struggled offensively during their recent two-game trip, managing only one goal on 64 shots. But Phoenix had no such troubles against Marty Turco and the Stars despite spending most of the game's first 45 minutes playing in its own zone.

Lang opened the scoring at 10:01 of the first period, taking advantage of Mikkel Boedker's screen at the top of the crease to beat Turco on a sharp wrist shot from between the circles.

Korpikoski made it 2-0 at 4:15 of the second, taking a pass from Upshall in front of the net and scoring with a backhand flip over Turco's blocker. Korpikoski added his second goal at 15:45 after a scramble to the left of the net left the puck on Upshall's stick for a quick pass to Korpikoski for the goal.

"They capitalized on the chances they got," Stars coach Mark Crawford said. "Our impatience really showed. They got a couple of opportunities because we turned the puck over because of our impatience."

Aucoin extended the lead to 4-0 just 36 seconds later when Lombardi passed a rebound off Upshall's missed shot back to Aucoin at the bottom of the right circle.

That ended the night for Turco, who had allowed the four goals on 19 shots before he was pulled for the first time this season.

Michalek capped the scoring 1:52 into the third on a blast from the left point over the extended right skate of Stars backup goalie Alex Auld.

Morrow ended Ilya Bryzgalov's shutout bid with 14:34 remaining when he took a pass from Tom Wandell and tucked the puck into the left side of the net.

Ribiero made it 5-2 less than two minutes later when he stole the puck from Upshall just inside the Coyotes zone and blasted a shot from Bryzgalov form the top of the left circle.
