Lindell (COVID-19) returned to practice Saturday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
Lindell was placed on injured reserve on Thursday as part of the Stars' COVID-19 outbreak, but he appears to be clear to participate again. While he will need to be officially activated prior to the Stars' first game Friday versus the Predators, it's fully expected the 26-year-old will be in the lineup.
Lindell has been placed on injured reserve due to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, per TSN.
The Stars' first three games have been postponed due to the team's COVID-19 breakout, so at this point there's no reason to believe Lindell won't be available when Dallas opens its season against Tampa Bay on Tuesday. The 26-year-old blueliner picked up 23 points in 69 contests last campaign.
Lindell had an assist, four shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Lightning in Game 4.

The 26-year-old Lindell has a goal, seven assists, 72 hits, 65 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating in 25 postseason outings. He hasn't done much on the scoresheet, but the Finn's assignments tend to be more defensive in nature.

Lindell saw a five-game point streak end in Saturday's loss to the Sharks. The Finn didn't wait long to return to form, and his third goal of the season couldn't have come at a better time. He's up to 20 points, 59 shots on goal, 87 blocks and 50 hits in 46 games. With John Klingberg back from a lower-body injury, Lindell isn't likely to see much premium power-play time going forward, which could cause the latter to slow his scoring pace a bit.

With 16 points, 75 blocked shots, 57 shots on goal, 46 hits and a plus-8 rating through 42 appearances this year, Lindell could make for a good DFS option in the near-term.
