The NHL All-Star break affords the Dallas Stars the opportunity to get Tomas Vincour some much-needed playing time with the club's AHL affiliate in Austin. Last night, in one of the few highlights of the Texas Stars' 6-2 loss to San Antonio, Vincour tallied his 11th goal in 16 AHL games this season. Angelo Esposito also scored for the Stars.

Andrew Raycroft had a rough night in goal, stopping just 15 of 20 shots before getting pulled at 7:22 of the third period. Six different San Antonio players registered multi-point nights in the blowout. Philip Larsen finished with a minus-two while Jordie Benn took a minus-three on the night. Vincour was also minus-three.

The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for the Texas Stars. They are back in action tonight in Oklahoma City.

Jamie Benn will participate in three events at the NHL All-Star Skills Competition tonight in Ottawa.

Representing Team Chara, Benn will be in the accuracy shooting competition, will take the left-handed one-timer in the skills challenge relay and participate in the culminating elimination shootout event.
