Lyubushkin (undisclosed) was hurt in Tuesday's game versus the Ducks and there was no update on his status after the contest, independent Stars reporter Robert Tiffin reports.

Lyubushkin didn't play in the third period due to the injury. With Miro Heiskanen (knee) already on injured reserve and facing a long-term absence, losing another blueliner could test the Stars' depth. Brendan Smith would likely get the first chance to fill in if Lyubushkin is unavailable for Friday's game in Los Angeles.

Hedman had a two-assist night Tuesday in a 4-3 win over the Senators.

The points were his first in five games, but this quiet span came after a period in which he had points in eight of nine games (two goals, nine assists). Overall, Hedman has 42 points, including 35 assists, in 50 games. That production slots Hedman into a tie with Evan Bouchard for sixth overall in scoring from the blue line. Hedman's three points from Shea Theodore for fifth on that list.

Romanov logged an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Romanov had gone three games without a point, but he has logged at least four blocks in five straight contests. The 25-year-old defenseman also hasn't been completely devoid of offense lately, earning eight points over 12 outings since the start of January. He's seeing top-pairing minutes and always brings physicality. Romanov has 14 points, 56 shots on net, 99 blocks, 95 hits and a plus-9 rating through 39 contests this season.

Schmidt registered an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.

Schmidt had just two points over his last 10 games since he had back-to-back contests with a helper Jan. 13 and 14. The 33-year-old defenseman is facing less of a threat for playing time since Adam Boqvist was waived and claimed by the Islanders. Schmidt is comfortably on the third pairing, and he's earned 12 points (three on the power play), 44 shots on net, 57 hits, 39 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 53 outings this season.

Chabot had two assists Tuesday in a 4-3 loss to the Lightning.

Chabot has three assists in his last two games and five points, including four assists, in his last four games. Overall, the cerebral defender has 26 points, including 22 helpers, and 117 shots in 53 games this season. Chabot is a talent, but he is rarely healthy, and his immense upside has never really been tapped into, other than his 55-point campaign in 2018-19.

Carlson provided an assist and five shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.

Carlson earned a helper for the fourth straight game when he set up Lars Eller's go-ahead goal in the third period. For the season, Carlson is up to four goals, 29 assists, 112 shots on net, 91 blocked shots, 39 hits and a plus-18 rating over 53 contests. He's been steady on offense and should challenge for the 50-point threshold while seeing top-pairing minutes.

Manson (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Canucks, Brennan Vogt of Mile High Hockey reports.

Manson didn't return for the third period. The 33-year-old defenseman should be considered day-to-day until more information is available. If he misses time, Oliver Kylington or Calvin de Haan could replace Manson in the lineup.

Fehervary registered an assist, two shots and a plus-3 rating during Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.

The helper on Alex Ovechkin's last second empty-net goal snapped a nine-game point drought for Fehervary, The 25-year-old has managed only a single goal and 12 points in 53 games but remains an invaluable stay-at-home defenseman for the Capitals.

Sandin registered an assist and two shots during Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.

Sandin ended a seven-game point drought by notching a helper on Andrew Mangiapane's first-period tally. The 24-year-old defenseman has been playing with John Carlson on the top pairing in recent weeks, though a significant boost to Sandin's fantasy production has yet to materialize as a result of the promotion.

Siegenthaler (undisclosed) will miss time after sustaining an injury in Tuesday's game versus the Penguins.

This update indicates Siegenthaler can likely be ruled out through the 4 Nations Face-Off break. The 27-year-old defenseman has been a stalwart in his own zone this season. The Devils will need another defenseman on the roster to cover for Siegenthaler's absence.
