The Dallas Stars will have a change on defense tonight versus the Winnipeg Jets.
While the Stars' defense corps has been relatively healthy so far this season, that will change tonight. Jyrki Jokipakka, who earned a starting spot on the roster out of training camp by beating out Patrik Nemeth and Jamie Oleksiak, is dealing with an injury per Mike Heika. He will be out of the lineup tonight. This opens up the door for Oleksiak to get back into the lineup, with Nemeth down with Texas on a conditioning assignment.
