FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn is recovering from surgery to repair an abdominal muscle injury.Stars general manager Jim Nill said Friday that the full recovery time is six weeks, and that the surgery performed Thursday went as planned. It wasnt clear when or how Benn got injured.That timeframe puts Benn on schedule to be ready for the 2016-17 NHL season, but creates uncertainty about his availability to participate for Team Canada in the World Cup of Hockey that begins in mid-September. Nill said Benns availability for that will be determined after the left wings six-week rehabilitation process.Benn scored a career-high 89 points (41 goals, 48 assists) for the Western Conference champion Stars last season.

"Id love to look at those opportunities as they arise," Pierce said in an interview from his Winnipeg eatery. MINNEAPOLIS -- This season that started with so much promise for the Minnesota Vikings has been slipping away.Their margin for error, nearly flattened by an offensive line depleted almost beyond belief, has rendered moot most of their strides during the skid.We do a lot of good things but, unfortunately, the way our football team is right now we have to make sure we execute better in some of these critical situations in the ballgame, coach Mike Zimmer said Friday, after the Vikings lost 16-13 at Detroit and fell behind the Lions and out of first place in the NFC North for the first time since Dec. 27, 2015.The Vikings (6-5) have lost five of their last six games after posting the NFLs only 5-0 start.All these games are going to come down to the wire, probably, the way we are, Zimmer said. Were just going to have to tighten it up a little bit and keep moving on. Theres still a lot of football left, so were going to keep going.The Vikings led 13-10 at 2-minute warning on Thursday, but Matt Prater made two more field goals after that to lift the Lions to victory. This came just 18 days after Praters 58-yard kick as time in regulation expired put the Lions in position to win in overtime at Minnesota in the first matchup.It doesnt feel good. Hopefully, we can play them again in the playoffs and just get another try, wide receiver Adam Thielen said.For the first time this year, the Vikings have found their postseason push in trouble. The Lions will have the tiebreaker for the division title, so theyll need to win twice more than the Lions over the final five-game stretch to defend their NFC North crown and get the automatic home game. The wild card race remains wide open as well, with a critical tiebreaker edge for the Vikings over the New York Giants (7-3), but theyre playing catch-up there too.All we can do is worry about who we have next week, and thats Dallas, quarterback Sam Bradford said.Gulp. The Cowboys (10-1) have won 10 straight games.I know what this team can do, left guard Alex Boone saidd, when asked after the game what gives him belief in a rebound.dddddddddddd You know, Ive seen this team play well against good teams.The biggest problem is that the Vikings have more than run out of reliable blockers around Boone on the offensive line. Already missing tackles Matt Kalil, Jake Long and Andre Smith for the season, plus Mike Harris, who has started at both guard and tackle for this team, the Vikings watched center Joe Berger get knocked out of the game with a concussion. Right tackle Jeremiah Sirles later hurt his left hip. Zimmer had no update on Friday on either player, but the way this teams luck has been this season with health seeing both of them in the lineup against Dallas would almost be a surprise.Rookie Willie Beavers replaced Sirles, and Nick Easton filled in for Berger.At some point weve got to catch a break, tight end Kyle Rudolph said, adding: Youre starting to get into a rhythm and another guy goes down. We cant make excuses. Injuries are a part of this game. Its just unfortunate.Singling out the inability to keep Matthew Stafford from escaping the pocket for first-down runs at a couple of critical points would be a bit unfair to a defense thats allowing just 17.5 points per game, the second-lowest in the league.Blaming the patchwork offensive line would be pointless, and its worth noting that Bradfords quick release and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmurs plan for short throws at Detroit led to the quarterback getting hit only three times.But the reality is that the Vikings, even with a friendly final four games, have so many limitations now that making the playoffs would be quite the feat.Even when we were in the playoff mix, we didnt ever talk about it, Zimmer said. We just talked about the next game, and thats all were going to continue to talk about.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
