Stars lose Esa Lindell for at least a week
Dallas will be without the defenceman against Boston after he was injured blocking a shot in Chicago.
Esa Lindell is expected to miss at least a week with a lower-body injury, leaving the Dallas Stars without the defenceman for their home game against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
Lindell was hurt blocking a shot in Saturday’s game at Chicago, according to NHL.com. CBS Sports also reported that he would miss roughly a week, citing Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.
Kyle Capobianco is due to enter the Dallas lineup, the NHL’s projected lineups report said. The Stars also list Matt Duchene with a lower-body injury and Oskar Bäck with a finger injury.
Boston expects Pavel Zacha to return after an upper-body injury kept him out against Los Angeles on Saturday. Nikita Zadorov is also set to play after being a healthy scratch in that game.
