The past week

Recent Games
Date Opponent Result
1/25 Peoria Lost 3-1
1/26 At Rockford Won 2-1

The Iowa Stars played just two games over the past week, winning one and losing one. That gave Iowa a 21-23-2-2 record heading into the AHL's All-Star break.

The Stars are in eighth and last place in the West Division,  but are still in a position to make a run at a playoff spot.

"We talked about creating an identity, and it's not something that comes overnight," Coach Dave Allison told the Des Moines Register. "We've always had a goaltender to help carry us into the playoffs, and Tobias [Stephan] is certainly capable of doing that.

"But everybody's got a chance to really prove themselves here at the end of the season. They need to realize it's a choice they have."
An eventful couple days at the AHL All-Star Classic for Petersen
Iowa Stars center Toby Petersen was the team's representative at the AHL All-Star Classic, which was held in Binghamton, New York on Sunday and Monday. And Petersen made some news and history.

During Sunday's Skills Competition, Petersen won the fastest skater competition with a time of 14.001 seconds, the best time in the AHL event in ten years. The 29-year-old Petersen also bested his time from 2001, when he was 22-years-old and finished second in the event.

He was asked to offer an explanation for his increased speed.

"Lighter skates, fast ice, lot of work in the weight room, who knows?" Petersen told reporters. "I have no idea what happened out there."

On Monday Petersen made history, getting the first penalty shot attempt in AHL All-Star game history and then made more history by scoring the first penalty shot goal in the event's history.

Petersen ended up with one goal and two assists in the game, but his PlanetUSA All-Stars lost to the Canadian All-Stars 9-8 in a shootout.
