Dallas Stars goalie Ben Bishop and winger Alexander Radulov will both miss the rest of the 2020-21 season due to injury in a blow to the team's fading playoff hopes.
There was some hope at the trade deadline that Radulov could return to spark the Stars, but general manager Jim Nill said on Wednesday that the 34-year-old right wing will require surgery to repair a core muscle injury.
Radulov had 12 points in 11 games this season before leaving the lineup on March 18 with the injury. He had previously missed 15 games this season due to a lower-body injury.
