BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Stars will make a pair of minor lineup tweaks for Tuesday night's game in Buffalo, inserting forward Valeri Nichushkin and defenseman Jamie Oleksiak against the Sabres. Forward Brett Ritchie and defenseman Taylor Fedun will come out.
Tuesday's game kicks off a busy stretch for the Stars, who will play four games in six days, including a back-to-back in Minnesota on Thursday and at home against Vegas on Friday.
"It's mostly just fresh bodies, opportunity to get other people back in and we have four in six coming," Stars coach Jim Montgomery said. "There's not necessarily going to be a rotation with those names I just said, but there's going to be players coming in and out to stay fresh.
