Ty Dellandrea has been playing in Seguin's spot on the second line with Matt Duchene and Mason Marchment over the last few games since Seguin has been out of the lineup. Before his injury, Seguin was enjoying his best campaign in several years with 45 points (20G / 25A) in 58 games. Seguin's injury allowed the Stars to recall Logan Stankoven, who has been playing superbly on a line with Jamie Benn and Wyatt Johnston.
Lyubushkin made his debut with the Maple Leafs on Saturday after being acquired in a trade from the Anaheim Ducks earlier in the week but was unable to complete the game, playing only 12:12 time-on-ice before exiting with a head injury after being hit by New York Ranger Matt Rempe. The hard-nosed Lybushkin is in his second stint with the Maple Leafs and has 116 hits and 138 blocks in 56 games this season.
As expected, Stankoven's "move" was purely financial, and he never actually left the team. The rookie has been excellent in his first four games with the Stars, scoring goals in three straight games, to give him four points (3G/ 1A) to begin his NHL career.
Smith returned to action from a one-game absence, scoring a goal in 15:19 time-on-ice in the Devils' most recent game, a 7-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks. He was a game-time decision for Friday's game in Anaheim but appears to be good to go.
Smith returned to action from a one-game absence, scoring a goal in 15:19 time-on-ice in the Devils' most recent game, a 7-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks. His status for Friday's game against the Anaheim Ducks is up in the air.
Dadonov has not played since February 10th due to a lower-body fracture and will be out of the lineup for the remainder of the season. Dadonov had three points (2G / 1A) in his last five games before his injury and is expected to miss four to six weeks. Logan Stankoven has been the main benefactor with Dadonov out of the lineup, recording four points (3G / 1A) in four games in his spot on the third line with Wyatt Johnston and Jamie Benn.

Seguin's injury allowed the Stars to recall Logan Stankoven, who has been playing superbly on a line with Jamie Benn and Wyatt Johnston.
In presumably a paper transaction, Stankoven was reassigned to the Texas Stars (AHL). The 21-year-old has transitioned seamlessly to the NHL, scoring four points (3G / 1A) in four games while playing on a line with Wyatt Johnston and Jamie Benn.
The Maple Leafs get Lyubushkin from the Ducks, who received a third-round pick and retained 50 percent of his $2.75M AAV cap-hit. The Hurricanes received a sixth-round pick to retain 25 percent of the contract. Lyubushkin is in his sixth NHL season and heads to Toronto with four assists, 112 hits and 138 blocked shots in 55 games this season.
The move looks to be a precautionary one as the Ducks are reportedly close to moving Lyubushkin in a trade. Lyubushkin has 138 blocked shots, 112 hits, and four assists in 55 games this season.
Lundkvist has not played since suffering a concussion on February 15th but will draw back into the lineup on Thursday, replacing Joel Hanley. The 23-year-old Lundkvist has 15 points (2G / 13A) in 43 games this season.
Oettinger was between the pipes for the Stars on Tuesday, allowing five goals on 27 shots (.815 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, and will attempt to rebound on Thursday night. The Stars are -129 home favourites in a battle for Central division supremacy against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. The Stars have fared well against the Jets this season, winning both previous contests, including a 27-save shutout for Oettinger in a 2-0 victory.
Brady was a fifth-round pick of the Devils in 2019. The 23-year-old netminder has gone 4-2-2 with a 3.03 GAA and .886 SV% in nine games at UMass-Amherst (NCAA) this season.
