The now-annual Victory Green and White scrimmage was light on super stars with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin both held out of the lineup. In addition, Cody Eakin, Ales Hemsky, Radek Faksa, Jason Dickinson, Devin Shore and Travis Morin all missed the game with various maladies. As such, it was an opportunity for some of those other players to make impressions. Nick Ebert, the return from Los Angeles in the Jack Campbell trade this summer, was foremost among them with a hat trick for team White. Of the eleven goals on the day, five were scored by defensemen.
"It was a really good day on the offensive side for our defensemen," said Dallas Stars head coach Lindy Ruff.
