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.

Robertson (knee) participated in practice on Tuesday and is a "possibility" for Game 1 on Wednesday.

Robertson missed the entire first round with a knee injury he suffered in the Stars' season finale, but it looks like he could play in Game 1 vs. the Jets. Robertson was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, skating on a line with Wyatt Johnston and Mason Marchment and on the second power-play unit. Expect an update following Wednesday's morning skate.

Robertson (lower-body) was a full participant in practice on Monday but is still undecided on his status for Game 1.

Stars' head coach Pete DeBoer previously stated that he expects Robertson to play in Round 2 but could not confirm if that meant Game 1 or later in the series. Robertson has not played since the final game of the season when he exited the contest with a lower-body injury.

Robertson (lower-body) has improved his injury status to day-to-day.

Robertson has not played since suffering a lower-body injury in the final game of the regular season but is inching closer to a return. That said, he has not participated in full-contact practice yet and is likely targeting a round-two return to the lineup if the Stars can advance.
