VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The Vancouver Canucks said Friday that they will bill Dallas Stars goalie Ed Belfour for damaging the visiting locker room during a game Thursday night.

Belfour broke two televisions, a clock and a VCR and damaged the walls inside the dressing room after being pulled during the first period of the Stars' 4-3 overtime victory.

Brian Burke, the Canucks' president and general manager, would not comment, but media relations manager Chris Brumwell confirmed that the team would bill Belfour.

Belfour was replaced by backup Marty Turco 14:31 into the first period after he was beaten by a screened power play shot from Ed Jovanovski and on a breakaway by Trevor Letowski. He skated straight to the locker room and didn't return to the Dallas bench until the start of the second period.
