Petrovic will get an opportunity to play in just his third game of the season as Nils Lundkvist is out with an illness. Petrovic has appeared in just three total games across the last two seasons with the Stars and is yet to register a point.

Lundkvist is the latest victim to an illness circulating the Stars locker room and will miss Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 24-year-old Lundkvist is averaging 14:31 time-on-ice and has two points (0G / 2A) in 23 games this season. Dallas recalled Alex Petrovic from Texas (AHL) as a precautionary measure.

With an illness circulating the Stars locker room, Harley is one of several game-time decisions for the club on Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Harley did not play on Monday and could miss a second straight game on Wednesday. The 23-year-old is averaging 22:18 time-on-ice and has 14 points (4G / 10A) in 14 games this season.

Dumba has not played since December 8th, missing the last three games. The 30-year-old Dumba has not acclimated to Dallas' system as anticipated, spending lots of time on the third defensive pair after beginning the campaign playing alongside Miro Heiskanen. Dumba has one point (0G / 1A) and is averaging 15:33 time-on-ice, his lowest total since his rookie season. In a corresponding move, Dallas recalled Alex Petrovic from Texas (AHL).

With Matt Dumba (upper body) being placed on Injured Reserve, Dallas has recalled Petrovic from Texas (AHL). The 32-year-old Petrovic played two games with Dallas this season but has predominantly been an AHL player, scoring 13 points (4G / 9A) in 21 games with the Texas Stars.

The Stars have won consecutive games and will roll with Oettinger between the pipes for a seventh straight contest. The 26-year-old Oettinger has been solid all season, posting a 2.32 GAA and .913 SV% in 23 games (16-7-0). He has saved 40 of 42 shots faced (.952 SV%) over his last two games (2-0-0). Dallas enters Wednesday's contest as -134 home favorites against a Toronto Maple Leafs club 3-3-0 in their previous six games.

Harley played a season-high 27:46 in Saturday's 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues but is battling an illness that will keep him out of the lineup on Monday against the Washington Capitals. The 23-year-old Harley is averaging 22:18 time-on-ice and has 14 points (4G / 10A) in 29 games this season but has been held off the scoresheet in five of his last six games.

Lundkvist did not play on Saturday, a healthy scratch, but, despite battling an illness, will return to the lineup on Monday against the Washington Capitals. The 24-year-old Lundkvist is averaging 14:43 time-on-ice and has two points (0G / 2A) in 22 games this season.

Bichsel was the 18th overall pick of the Stars in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The 20-year-old defenseman is highly regarded in the Dallas system and has played the last two games since Matt Dumba has been out with an upper-body injury. Bichsel is averaging 14:55 time-on-ice, recording one point (0G / 1A) and eight hits in two games.

With Casey DeSmith sick, Hellberg comes up from the AHL, presumably to serve as Jake Oettinger's backup on Saturday. Hellberg has gone 9-3-1 with a 3.08 GAA and .904 SV% in 13 AHL games this season.

It's unclear if DeSmith will be able to suit on Saturday but if he isn't, Dallas will have to recall a netminder from Texas (AHL) to serve as Oettinger's backup. DeSmith last played on December 2nd, saving 36 of 37 shots (.973 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Utah Hockey Club.
