Stars forward Radek Faksa doubtful with neck injury after hit Tuesday against Rangers

FRISCO -- The Stars' involuntary rotation of forwards could continue with Thursday's pivotal game against the Avalanche.

Stars coach Jim Montgomery said Andrew Cogliano would return to the lineup after missing the last three games with an upper-body injury suffered last week in Vegas, but Radek Faksa is doubtful with a neck injury sustained during Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Rangers. Alexander Radulov will also return Thursday after he was scratched for being late to morning skate on Tuesday.

Faksa did not play the final 9:53 of the game on Tuesday night after he was hit into the boards by Rangers forward Mika Zibanejad.
