Luongo passed on the All-star game to be with his pregnant wife.......
Dallas at Vancouver, Tuesday, 7 p.m., SNP
The Stars appreciated the all-star break as much as any team -- they're 5-7-1 since New Year's Eve. Don't expect a shootout, even though the Stars are the second-highest scoring team in the West. Curtis Sanford gets the start in net.
Vancouver at Tampa Bay, Thursday, 4:30 p.m., SNP
Roberto Luongo rejoins the team after enjoying an extended break with his pregnant wife in Miami and a couple of days of working out with Canucks goalie coach Ian Clark. He'll start. The Canucks are 1-1 so far against Southeast teams.
