Stars' playoff push hits major speed bump with injuries to Oleksiak, Eaves

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Stars' battle to get back into playoff contention hit a major speed bump Tuesday.

Defenseman Jamie Oleksiak and Patrick Eaves left the game with injuries and Anaheim ground out a 2-0 win.

The loss sucked all of the excitement out of Monday's 6-4 win at Los Angeles, and created a lot of questions for the team going forward. Dallas plays home games against Detroit Thursday and Minnesota Saturday and then goes on a three-game road trip to New York.

The Stars did not have updates immediately after the game, but if either Oleksiak or Eaves is out for an extended period of time the Stars will have to draw on their depth.
