Lehtinen's injury another challenge for Dallas Stars
Lehtinen was a huge help for the three games he was healthy. But after dealing with his groin injury for the first 14 games, the Stars must now try to wait out another ailment.
Neal was sent down to work on his game and scored four goals in five games with Manitoba. Now, he has to try to merge with new linemate Mike Ribeiro.
Sydor is very familiar with the Stars, returning for the third time in his career, but he will try to assimilate onto this team while playing beside young defenseman Matt Niskanen.
"It is what it is, and we have to deal with it," Stars coach Dave Tippett said. "I think if you just play well enough, you'll take care of a lot of that stuff."
