Stars center Mike Modano will miss two weeks of action following an aappendectomy. Barring any setbacks, Modano would return before the end of the regular season. "We're going to miss him," Stars coach Marc Crawford said. "You think right away with Mike is his ability to settle things down in intense games and to make a big contribution on the power play. Our power play has struggled here of late and we'd love to have him on that unit. He'll be missed."
