For those of you still out of the loop, the Dallas Stars lost John Klingberg for approximately the next three weeks due to an upper body injury suffered in last night’s win over the San Jose Sharks:
Klingberg was the team’s leading skater in time on ice, averaging 25:20 heading into Thursday’s game, which is almost a full minute ahead of the second best skater, Esa Lindell, with 24:25. He trailed Lindell by only half a minute when it came to even-strength, and was a main fixture on both the Stars’ power play and their penalty kill.
