Nils Lundkvist D | DAL
Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Missing from road trip
Lundkvist (concussion) didn't join the Stars for their four-game road trip, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports Monday.
Lundkvist needs just one more point to match his total from last season but will need to wait until at least next Monday's clash with the Islanders to get back on the scoresheet. An injury to Jani Hakanpaa (upper body) will see both Derrick Pouliot and Alex Petrovic inserted into the lineup against Boston on Monday.

Jani Hakanpaa D | TOR
Stars' Jani Hakanpaa: Not traveling with team
Hakanpaa (upper body) is not with the Stars for their four-game road trip, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports Monday.
Hakanpaa is currently mired in a 14-game goal drought during which he has added just two assists and 15 shots on net. As such, the 31-year-old Finn's absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers, except in formats that utilize hits and blocked shots. In addition to Hakanpaa, the Stars will also be without Nils Lundkvist (concussion) for the trip.

Miro Heiskanen D | DAL
Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Won't play Monday
Heiskanen will not be in the lineup against Boston on Monday for the birth of his child, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
Heiskanen has been fantastic since returning from injury, racking up six points, 26 shots and 10 blocked shots in his last eight contests. With the Stars entering a back-to-back while on the road, there is a chance the 24-year-old defenseman won't be ready in time to face the Rangers on Tuesday either. Derrick Pouliot and Alex Petrovic were called up from the minors and will both be in action Monday.

Martin Fehervary D | WAS
Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Labeled week-to-week
Fehervary (lower body) is expected to miss 1-2 weeks after coach Spencer Carbery told reporters Monday, "Week-to-week. Whether it's one or two, that's what we're looking at," per Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.
Fehervary isn't exactly an offensive powerhouse with just two goals and 10 assists through 47 games this season. As such, his absence will only impact formats that value hits and blocked shots, of which he has 108 and 71, respectively. With a spot open in the lineup, both Alexander Alexeyev and Ethan Bear should be in contention for minutes, with Alexeyev as the most likely replacement on the left side of the Capitals' blue line.

John Marino D | UTA
Devils' John Marino: Traveling despite illness
Marino is under the weather but will make the trip for Tuesday's matchup with Washington, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Marino has yet to miss a game this season, playing in all 54 contests while producing four goals on 45 shots, 15 assists and 73 blocked shots while averaging 21:12 of ice time. If Marino were to be ruled out, Nick DeSimone could get into the Devils' lineup for the first time since he was claimed off waivers from the Flames on Jan. 25.

Sabres' Owen Power: Surfaces on IR
Power (hand) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
In a corresponding move, Kale Clague was summoned from AHL Rochester. Power is considered week-to-week after suffering a left hand injury during practice last Monday. He has accounted for two goals, 18 points, 73 shots on net and 74 blocked shots over 51 appearances this season.

Kale Clague D | WPG
Sabres' Kale Clague: Back with big club
Clague was called up from AHL Rochester on Monday, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.
In a corresponding move, Owen Power (hand) was moved to injured reserve. Clague will probably serve as an extra defender Monday versus Anaheim. He has picked up three goals, 23 points and 52 PIM in 41 AHL contests this campaign.
-
Alexander Petrovic D | FLA
Stars' Alex Petrovic: Summoned from AHL
Petrovic was recalled from AHL Texas on Monday.
Petrovic has three goals and 16 points in 44 AHL contests this season. He may get a chance to make his Dallas debut Monday against Boston because of injuries to Nils Lundkvist (concussion) and Jani Hakanpaa (upper body).

Devon Toews D | COL
Avalanche's Devon Toews: Supplies game-winner
Toews scored a goal on three shots and logged one hit over 26:23 of ice time in Sunday's 4-3 win over Arizona.
Toews provided the game-winner in the third period, using a Mikko Rantanen screen to pot his 10th goal in 56 games. It was the second goal in three games for the defenseman.

Jack Johnson D | CLB
Avalanche's Jack Johnson: One of each in win
Johnson logged a goal and an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over Arizona.
He added one shot on net and two blocked shots over 12:37 of ice time. Johnson showed off rarely seen offense, which included a second-period tally where he attacked from the blue line and beat Karel Vejmelka to the far side for his third goal of the season. The two-point offensive explosion snapped a 14-game pointless drought for the 37-year-old Johnson.
