- He had just rejoined the lineup following an illness that kept him out after the Olympic break.
- The top-line center has 15 goals and 29 assists in 53 games, plays on both special teams, and has won over 59% of faceoffs.
- The Stars are not eligible for an emergency recall and may use one of their five post-deadline AHL recalls to add a forward while he recovers.
