DALLAS -- For the first time this season, Dallas Stars coach Lindy Ruff started Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin on a line centered by Jason Spezza. http://www.packersrookiestore.com/Packers-Lance-Kendricks-Jersey/ .They came up big against the Nashville Predators on Thursday night.Benn scored his 200th career goal and added two assists, Spezza also had a goal and two assists, and Seguin added a goal and an assist to lead the Stars to a 5-2 win over the Predators.Its been no secret around here that our top players havent been our top players, Benn said. Its something we take personally, and weve got to be better, and we all know it.Benn wasnt impressed by his milestone goal, focusing on the win instead.It felt like any other goal, he said. Its not really a big deal to me. Its much better to get two points and get a win.Spezzas goal was his first in 13 games, and Benn hadnt scored in his previous four. Seguin has three goals in the last four games.The new line could be together for a while.Ill keep anything together that works, Ruff said. Its good to see all those guys get a goal.Antoine Roussel had a goal and assist and Brett Ritche also scored for the Stars. Kari Lehtonen stopped 33 shots, including all 21 in the second period.(Lehtonen) didnt have a lot of action but what he really did well was he fought through traffic to find some pucks, Ruff said. Really well, especially second period.Viktor Arvidsson and Calle Jarnkrok scored for Nashville. Pekka Rinne came in with a 2.23 goals-against average, but gave up four goals on 18 shots in 25:47 before leaving early in the second period. Marek Mazanec came on and stopped 18 of the 19 shots he faced.Predators coach Peter Laviolette was brief in his postgame comments, saying: Well, they showed up to play and we were a no-show. Frustrating. Thank you.Dallas extended a 2-1 lead to 5-1 on second-period goals by Spezza, Roussel and Seguin.Before that, Benn and Ritchie had scored 23 seconds apart midway through the first to put Dallas up 2-0.Spezza passed from the right boards past Seguin to Benn for a shot from the slot at 9.55. Ritchie scored at 10:18 when his shot went through Rinne and barely crossed the goal line.Arvidssons short-handed goal with 3:57 left in the first came after Dallas John Klingberg broke his stick on an attempted slap shot from the blue line. Austin Watson took the puck and passed ahead to Arvidsson. He shot past the stickless Klingberg, and the puck went in off Lehtonens glove.The Stars outshot Nashville 15-6 in the first period. The shots turned around in the second -- the Predators had a 21-13 edge -- but the Stars scored all three goals in the period.Spezza skated from the left boards past a defender and Rinne to put the puck into the right corner of the net at 3:27.Roussel came out of the penalty box for a 2-on-1 break with Lauri Korpikoski, who passed from the goal line back to Roussel in front for a shot into the upper left of the net at 5:47.Laviolette successfully challenged an apparent goal by Dallas Radek Faksa because of goaltender interference. Sixteen seconds later, Seguin took a pass from Benn in the left circle and one-timed the puck past Mazanec.Game notes Benn, Spezza and Seguin started on the same line for the first time this season. ... Spezza has seven goals and four assists in his last nine games against the Predators. His goal was his first in his last 13 games overall. ... Nashvilles short-handed goal was the fifth Dallas has allowed this season, tied for second-most in the NHL. ... The Predators James Neal had scored a goal in each of his previous three games. ... Dallas has won two of three from Nashville this season. Spezza scored a goal in each of the wins. ... It was the first time in 17 games dating back to Oct. 26 that Rinne was pulled for ineffectiveness.UP NEXTPredators: At Arizona on Saturday to complete a two-game trip. Nashville lost to the Coyotes 3-2 in a shootout at home on Nov. 3.Stars: At Philadelphia on Saturday to begin a two-game trip. http://www.packersrookiestore.com/Packers-Reggie-White-Jersey/ . Ivanovic was leading 7-5, 1-0 when Hantuchova withdrew after falling 0-40 behind in the second game. The match started slowly for Ivanovic, who surrendered her first two serves as Hantuchova took a 5-3 lead. http://www.packersrookiestore.com/Packers-Damarious-Randall-Jersey/ . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. http://www.packersrookiestore.com/Packers-Aaron-Jones-Jersey/ . -- Cam Newton pranced into the end zone, placed his hands over his chest and did his familiar Superman pose. No. 20 Arizona has seven available scholarship players, three of whom are freshmen, and so coach Sean Miller has a couple of new team policies.Youre not allowed to be a freshman and youre not allowed to foul, Miller said.The Wildcats (6-2) have little margin of error as they head into Tuesday nights game against UC Irvine (4-4) at McKale Center in Tucson, Ariz., starting at 9 p.m. ET.Arizona is coming off a 69-62 loss to No. 8 Gonzaga on Saturday in Los Angeles, which was the Wildcats first game without starting point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright, who suffered a high ankle sprain a game earlier.On Monday, Miller gave an expected timetable for Jackson-Cartwrights rehab -- eight weeks.We have to make the best of it and figure it out, and thats what were doing -- were figuring it out, Miller said of the on-court adjustments. A lot of players come to Arizona to have big, big roles. And, believe me, every one of them does right now.Arizonas top three scorers are freshmen -- 7-foot forward Lauri Markkanen (17.8 points per game), guard Kobi Simmons (11.6) and wing Rawle Alkins (11.5). Without Jackson-Cartwright, combo guard Kadeem Allen will be the primary point guard, backed by Simmons.Allen was the starting point for much of last season, but Miller prefers him off the ball and to have less on his plate offensively, which also enables the senior to focus more on being the teams defensive ace. But, right now, Miller has few options because of injuries and one unexplained absence.The absence belongs to sophomore guard Allonzo Trier, who has yet to suit up this season, although he did travel with the team to Los Angeles last weekend. Trier, who averaged 14.8 points last season, had not accompanied the team on two previous road trips.Miller said the NCAA permitted Trier to travel last weekend. Asked if that was a good sign, Miller answered, No. http://www.packersrookiestore.com/Packers-Don-Barclay-Jersey/. The only good sign is when he walks out there and plays.The school has not commented on the nature of the absence.As for the Anteaters, they are coming off a 58-55 victory at Santa Clara on Wednesday. Arizona beat Santa Clara 69-61 in Las Vegas on Thanksgiving.Senior guard Jaron Martin averages a team-high 13.8 points per game and 7-2 center Ioannis Dimakopoulos averages 11.4. Martin is playing almost 31 minutes per game, but Irvine will fairly evenly distribute minutes to eight other players.We rotate our players and I think thats the best way to manage a young team, UC-Irvine coach Russell Turner said. We have talent on this team and weve got to continue to play guys so their talents can emerge and build confidence.One of the young guys is freshman forward John Edgar Jr., whose father was a 6-6 center during Lute Olsons early days at Arizona. Edgar Sr. was a senior captain on the Wildcats first Pac-10 championship team in 1986.Edgar Jr. scored 13 points against Santa Clara.Another connection is UC-Irvine starting guard Max Hazzard, a redshirt freshman whose brother Jacob was an Arizona walk-on until completing his eligibility last season. Max Hazzard is averaging 6.3 points per game.The Wildcats beat the Anteaters 71-54 two seasons ago at McKale.Miller said Irvine is a well-organized team offensively and defensively with a lot of size, even after 7-6 center Mamadou Ndiaye completed his eligibility last season.Any team we play is going to be a great challenge, especially without Parker and with the limited numbers, Miller said. Those are our circumstances. Its up to us to improve and find a way.
