Prospects Tournament: Stars 4, Blues 1, FINAL

By Chris Pinkert | St. Louis Blues Online
Tomas Vincour scored 11 seconds into Sunday's game and the Dallas Stars never trailed in a 4-1 victory over the Blues prospects in Traverse City, Michigan.

Blues goaltender Jake Allen sat out after winning against Tampa Bay on Saturday. Backup Peter DiSalvo stopped 29 of 33 Dallas' shots in the loss.

The Blues' lone goal came from Josh Shalla, an undrafted player invited by the team to join the club's prospects in the tournament. Cody Beach, who was drafted by the Blues in 2010, and Chris DeSousa assisted on the goal.

Recent acquisition Stefan Della Rovere, who was acquired from Washington in a trade for D.J. King, made his presence felt with a fight just more than 10 minutes into the first period.

Michael Neal, Tristan King and Kevin King added goals for Dallas, who improved to 1-1 in tournament play.

The Blues are back in action on Tuesday against Detroit Red Wings prospects.
