The Stars placed Morrow on injured reserve Friday evening and recalled right winger Tomas Vincour from the Texas Stars of the AHL.

Morrow has been struggling with a neck/shoulder issue and missed the last game before the All-Star break. He played in the first two games out of the break -- at Anaheim on Wednesday and at San Jose on Thursday -- but didn't register a shot on goal in either contest.

Vincour has three points (one goal, two assists) in 18 games with Dallas this season. He was assigned to Texas at the All-Star break and played three games, registering one goal and one assist.

Vincour ranks third on Texas in goal scoring this season with 11 in 18 games.
