Klingberg was forced to leave Thursday’s game after blocking a shot but is ready to play in Carolina. Klingberg has cooled off recently, picking up just one goal and one assist in his last eight games.

Klingberg has been out since November 8th but is set to return to the Stars lineup tomorrow. Klingberg has registered 13 points (5G / 8A) in 16 games with the Stars prior to getting hurt. Klingberg will be back on a pair with Esa Lindell and on the top power-play against the Blackhawks.

Klingberg is four weeks into what was originally a five-week timetable. It looks like Klingberg will be back a couple of days early as he appears to be on-pace to play Thursday. The 26-year-old was tied for sixth among defensemen in points with 13 (5G / 8A) in 15 games before getting hurt.

Klingberg underwent surgery on his hand last Friday and will miss at least five weeks. Klingberg’s original timetable was “one month,” but head coach Jim Montgomery said he would “take that deal” if Klingberg was out for six weeks. This puts Klingberg on-pace to return in late-December/early-January which will give Miro Heiskanen an extended run on the Stars top-pairing and top power-play unit.

After Thursday’s game, the Stars announced that Klingberg would miss at least three weeks. However, Klingberg underwent surgery on Friday morning and the initial timetable suggests that he will miss at least the next four weeks.

Klingberg suffered an upper-body injury last night and the Stars announced that he will miss at least three weeks. His movement to IR opened up a roster spot to call-up Joel Hanley from the AHL.

Klingberg was forced to leave Thursday’s game with an upper-body injury that he suffered while blocking a shot. The Stars immediately announced that he will miss at least three weeks, which is a huge blow. Miro Heiskanen gets a massive bump in fantasy value as he takes over as their primary power-play defenseman.

Klingberg missed a morning meeting, so he will be disciplined by being a healthy scratch tonight vs. the Wild. With Klingberg out, Julius Honka has been recalled from Texas (AHL) and will make his NHL debut.

Klingberg has already missed two games and will miss at least the next two as well. With Klingberg out, the Stars are down three regular defensemen—he is joined by Jordie Benn and Jason Demers.

Klingberg remains day-to-day and will not play tonight in Montreal. There is no word on exactly how serious the injury is, but monitor his status leading up to the Stars’ back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. With Klingberg out, Kris Russell will play on the top pair and top power-play.

As of right now, Klingberg is not expected to travel on the Stars two-game road trip, but head coach Lindy Ruff left the door open for him to travel if he starts to feel better. Monitor his status on Sunday in Ottawa.

Klingberg played just 1:25 TOI before returning to the dressing room on Friday night. Leaving Friday’s game clouds his status for Sunday’s game and opens the door for Jamie Oleksiak to return to the lineup.

Klingberg, 22, had 11 goals and 29 assists (40 points) in 65 games in his rookie season with the Stars. This contract has him locked in at $4.25 million per year through the 2012-22 season.

Klingberg will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury. He is considered day-to-day.

Klingberg will miss his second straight game because of an upper-body injury. Monitor his status leading up to Sunday’s game against the Blues.

Klingberg left last Saturday’s game early, but was able to play on Tuesday. In Tuesday’s game he suffered an upper-body injury and it doesn’t look like he will play tonight. Expect Jason Demers to be back in; replacing Klingberg.

Klingberg was listed as questionable after leaving Saturday’s game early. There was no word throughout the day, nor in warmups, but he will play tonight in Philadelphia. He has 36 points (10G / 26A) in 52 games this season.
