The Dallas Stars are dealing with a few key injuries as they gear up for tomorrow night's game against the Seattle Kraken at the American Airlines. Censor. Forward. Mikko Rantanen suffered a knee injury during the third period of Finland's semifinal against Canada at the Four Nations Tournament. He's been placed on injured reserve, but it's not as bad as it looked, and he's expected back before the regular season ends.
What injuries are impacting the Dallas Stars ahead of their game against the Kraken?
Meanwhile, center Rup Hintz is sidelined for at least one or two games due to an illness. That means some tweaks to the lineup, including Jamie Benn and Matt Duchesne practicing together on the top power play unit. Stars fans are disappointed to miss Rantanen's firepower, but the team has plenty of depth with players like Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston ready to step up. General Manager Jim Neal can take his time on any trades now that the Olympics break is over. On a brighter note, Ford Radek Faxa is close to 96% recovered and might play if the training staff clears him. Goalie Jake O. Ettinger returns to practice tomorrow morning after Team USA's run, but won't start, giving him time to reset his schedule.
Both teams are rested and fired up for this matchup, and with the Stars home crowd and energy, it should be an exciting restart to the season. DNN is brought to you by our sponsor. When you need a moment alone, just lay back and listen. S-O-L-I, solelypillow.com.
