Sim, Haydar and Stephens each score twice for Canada

Associated Press

PORTLAND, Maine -- Jon Sim scored the go-ahead goal with 7:51 left as Canada rallied to beat PlanetUSA 10-7 in the American Hockey League All-Star Game on Monday night.

Sim, who plays for the Utah Grizzlies, also scored the game's first goal. Darren Haydar of the Milwaukee Admirals and Charlie Stephens of the Hershey Bears each had two goals for Canada.

Entering the third period trailing 7-6, Canada scored four times. After the Philadelphia Phantoms' John Slaney tied the game with 11:07 left, Sim scored and Haydar and Stephens added insurance goals in the final two minutes.

Manchester Monarchs defenseman Joe Corvo scored twice for PlanetUSA.

With his goal and two assists, Slaney set a record for career points in the All-Star Game. This was his fourth appearance.

The victory was Canada's sixth out of nine played since the All-Star Game was revived in its current format, which matches the AHL's best Canadian-born players against those born elsewhere. Fourteen of PlanetUSA's 20-man squad were born in the United States.

PlanetUSA took a 3-2 lead in the first period. After Sim scored just 1:03 in, PlanetUSA ran off three consecutive goals, by Corvo, Springfield's Jeff Taffe and Grand Rapids' Mark Mowers, before Wilkes-Barre Scranton's Ross Lupaschuk connected for Canada.

Goalie Ray Emery of the Binghamton Senators stopped nine of nine shots on net to earn the victory, while Syracuse's Mark Goehring took the defeat.
