Overview
- Head coach Glen Gulutzan said Monday that Nils Lundkvist will not play Tuesday in Game 5 at American Airlines Center.
- Lundkvist was cut by Michael McCarron’s skate in Saturday’s Game 4, which Minnesota won in overtime to even the series.
- The Stars listed the defenseman day to day after he avoided a hospital visit, and Gulutzan expects him back later in the series.
- With his second-pair spot open, Dallas is weighing Ilya Lyubushkin, Alexander Petrovic, or Kyle Capobianco as the next man in.
- Sportsnaut reports Tyler Myers is expected to skate with Thomas Harley on the second pair, while Lundkvist’s usual 16:45 and penalty-kill minutes will need to be covered.
