3 John Klingberg D

Klingberg had a power-play assist and two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Klingberg already has four power-play assists through two contests, serving nicely as the provider on the top unit. The Swede has added three shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots. Klingberg's locked in early on -- that's great for fantasy managers in need of offense from the blue line.

Klingberg recorded three power-play assists in Friday's 7-0 win over the Predators.

Klingberg missed practice Thursday for "medical reasons," but he was good to go for Friday's season opener. In fact, he was fantastic in the contest, helping out on goals by Denis Gurianov, Joe Pavelski and Joel Kiviranta. The 28-year-old Klingberg has long worked on the Stars' power play -- 17 of his 32 points last year came with the man advantage, and that was considered a low output by his standards. If Friday is anything to go off, Klingberg could challenge the 40-point mark in 2020-21 while seeing significant usage on the top pairing.

Klingberg now has seven points in seven games, and he'll look to stay productive Thursday as the Stars try to advance to the next round in Game 6.

Klingberg was back in his spot on the top pairing and appears to be trending in the right direction for a return to action versus the Blues on Sunday. The defenseman is currently bogged down in a four-game pointless streak dating back prior to the league going on hiatus. With Klingberg good to go, Thomas Harley should return to the press box.

Klingberg (undisclosed) has been deemed unfit to play and is not in the lineup Wednesday against Colorado.

Joining Klingberg with the "unfit to play" designation is teammate Ben Bishop, who was expected to start in net. Of course, the stakes aren't as high for the eight top seeds participating in round-robin play, so it's hard to say how serious -- if at all -- Klingberg's concern is. Look for an additional update prior to the Stars' next game Sunday against St. Louis.
