What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's February 24th. Here's your Dallas Stars news in two minutes. The Dallas Stars hit the ice for practice on Tuesday after the Olympic break, but it came with some tough injury news. Superstar forward Miko Rantanen will miss at least two weeks with a lower body injury. That's a big hit for the team as they push toward the playoffs.
What injury setback is Miko Rantanen facing for the Dallas Stars?
Rintanen had just come back from the Olympics, where he helped Finland snag a bronze medal alongside Stars teammates Roop Hintz, Miro Hyskanen, and Issa Lindell. Those guys play key roles in that podium finish, making his absence sting even more right now.
On a brighter note, depth forward Radek Faksa looks good to return for Wednesday's game against the Seattle Kraken. Faksa missed time with Cechia at the Olympics and got hurt late in the tournament, so his comeback bolsters the bottom six.
Defensive prospect Leon Bixell is another positive story. He's been on long-term injured reserve for a while, but is now healthy. The team expects to activate him soon, adding depth to the blue line. Meanwhile, defenseman Thomas Harley is back with the club after earning silver with Canada at the Olympics. He skipped Tuesday's practice but is healthy and can play Wednesday against Seattle. Fans are hoping for a full-strength lineup soon. The Daily News Now is made possible with support from our sponsor. When you need a moment alone, just lay back and listen. S-O-L-I, solelypillow.com.
