Blackwell will slot into the lineup after sitting out the first game of round three. Oskar Back will sit in his place.

Blackwell has been a healthy scratch for both of Dallas' opening games of their second series but will draw back in for Oskar Back on Sunday for Game 3. The 32-year-old scrappy forward had a massive overtime goal vs. Colorado in Dallas' opening round series, but has done little offensively since that game, with only one point in six total playoff games.

Blackwell did not participate in Tuesday's practice, and it doesn't sound like he'll be available for Game 1 on Wednesday. Luckily for the Stars, it looks like Jason Robertson may return to take Blackwell's spot in the lineup.

Blackwell was a healthy scratch in the season finale and Game 1, but is expected to replace Mavrik Bourque in Game 2. Blackwell finished the regular season with 17 points (6G / 11A) in 63 games.

Oskar Back will draw back into the Stars' lineup on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets, resulting in Blackwell being a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old Blackwell is averaging 11:35 time-on-ice and has 15 points (5G / 10A) in 61 games this season.

Blackwell did not play the previous two games for Dallas, but he will return to the lineup on Monday against the Seattle Kraken. The 32-year-old Blackwell is averaging 11:34 time-on-ice and has 15 points (5G / 10A) in 57 games this season.

Blackwell will take a seat on Thursday as the Stars opt to get some fresh legs into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Mavrik Bourque will draw into the lineup in his place.

Evgenii Dadonov will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks, allowing Blackwell to re-enter the lineup. The 31-year-old Blackwell is averaging 11:41 time-on-ice and has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 52 games this season.

Oskar Back will draw back into the Stars' lineup on Friday against the Los Angeles Kings, sending Blackwell to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 31-year-old Blackwell is averaging 11:42 time-on-ice and has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 50 games this season.

Mavrik Bourque will return to the lineup from an upper-body injury, sending Blackwell to the press box as a healthy scratch against the Los Angeles Kings. Blackwell has two points (1G / 1A) in his last two games and has been an effective contributor from a fourth-line role this season. He has 12 points (5G / 7A) in 47 games.

With Mavrik Bourque (upper body) out of the lineup, Blackwell will return to the mix on Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks. The 31-year-old Blackwell is averaging 11:37 time-on-ice and has 11 points (4G / 7A) in 46 games this season.

Roope Hintz is battling an undisclosed ailment and will not play on Wednesday against the Chicago Blackhawks, allowing Blackwell to re-enter the lineup for the first time since November 14th. The 31-year-old Blackwell played the first 15 games of the season, scoring four points (1G / 3A) from the fourth line, but has been a healthy scratch for five games since.
