The Dallas Stars have already defeated the Anaheim Ducks in the AAC this season, and tonight – we hope – they’re coming back for more. But tonight, they’ll have to get the win without Alexander Radulov, who was still suffering from an unspecified lower-body injury as of yesterday’s optional practice in Frisco.
Head coach Jim Montgomery spoke to Mark Stepneski about Rads’ absence from the lineup as pretty much a foregone conclusion:
“We’ll assess it (Thursday), but he’s there for now,” Montgomery said. “The most important thing is we need 14 (Jamie Benn) and 91 (Tyler Seguin) to get back on the scoresheet, and we need them to start possessing pucks a lot more.
