Josh Clark: Dallas Stars coach Jim Montgomery said that they are hopeful that defenseman Andrej Sekera can return to the lineup tonight.
Owen Newkirk: The Stars did recall Joel Hanley so Sekera may not be ready. If Sekera doesn’t play, it would give him a few more extra days to recover.
Curtis Pashelka: San Jose Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said that if defenseman Radim Simek wakes up feeling good, he’ll be in the lineup against the Blackhawks tonight.
