Back will come out of the lineup for Maverik Bourque on Saturday. The Stars will likely continue to rotate through their talented depth forwards on a game-by-game basis, so it probably won't be long before Back gets back in. The 24-year-old has one assist in seven games this season.

Back was a healthy scratch for the first time this season on Tuesday, but will re-enter the lineup on Thursday against the Boston Bruins, replacing Mavrik Bourque. The 24-year-old Back has one point (0G / 1A) and is averaging 9:57 time-on-ice through six games, playing exclusively on the Stars' fourth line.

Sam Steel (undisclosed) will return to the lineup from a one-game absence, making rookie Oskar Back a healthy scratch for the first time this season. The 24-year-old Back has averaged 9:57 time-on-ice and tallied one assist through six games, playing predominantly on the Stars' fourth line.

Back spent the entire 2024 season in Texas (AHL), where he tallied seven goals and 29 assists (36 points). The 2018 third-round pick will likely start the 2025 season in the AHL again.
