On a night when Brenden Morrow was feted for his retirement announcement at American Airlines Center, the Stars put together a Morrow-like performance.

Stars captain Jamie Benn tallied two goals, added an assist, and played one of his more physical games of the season, leading the Stars to a 4-3 win over Tampa Bay Thursday.

The win was huge for Dallas, which moves to 42-21-9 (93 points) and creates a bit of a cushion in Central Division battle for supremacy that was starting to look like a sloth race.
