Nicklas Lidstrom has a sore & swollen (but not broken) ankle and hasn't been able to skate that past few days, so he was out of the lineup last night. He should be back soon.

Kyle Quincey also didn't play last night due to a sore groin... treat him as day-to-day.

Kris Versteeg is expected to miss action this week as he tries to recover from a LBI.

I'm starting to get concerned about Victor Hedman's head. He has two confirmed concussions during his NHL career and there is some mystery surrounding his latest UBI as while Steve Yzerman doesn't think it's another concussion, he is still getting checked out by some doctor-types.

Logan Couture skated yesterday but was not in the Sharks lineup last night due to his LBI, consider him day-to-day.

Jamie Benn (leg) will be back in the Stars lineup tonight after missing the last six.

Returning to action from the injured list last night: Cam Ward & Tom Gilbert.
