Dallas Stars forward Blake Comeau will miss multiple weeks with a lower body injury suffered in the team's season opener Thursday, while the team received good news on Roman Polak after the defenseman was stretchered off in the second period.
In the first period of the Stars' 2-1 loss to the Boston Bruins, Comeau fell awkwardly after getting hit in the cheek by a puck. Coach Jim Montgomery said after the game that Comeau will miss extended time.
Polak was hurt when he went head-first into the boards after trying to check Bruins forward Chris Wagner with 12:56 remaining in the second period.
