Remember when we thought the end of 2016 would hopefully bring the end of the mysterious injury curse that plagued the Dallas Stars through the first half of the season?
That was a nice dream for a few weeks.
Now, three weeks into 2017, it can be safely stated that the injury problems are still a big part of the Stars season. Today’s version of that song-and-dance came with news about Radek Faksa and Tyler Seguin.
Faksa suffered a lower-body injury in the overtime loss to the Washington Capitals and, while he came back out to the bench for the start of overtime, is now slated to miss at least the next two games with that issue.
