Seguin was sent back to the team hotel this morning and did not take part in the Stars morning skate. He is battling the flu and could miss tonight’s game. However, given it is in Boston against his former team, Seguin will likely do anything he can to be in the lineup tonight. Seguin has two assists in three career games vs. Boston.

Petrovic was recalled on Wednesday and will be in the lineup tonight. He will replace Dylan Olsen and likely be paired with Erik Gudbranson. Petrovic leads all San Antonio (AHL) blue liners with 19 points (3G / 16A) this season.

Petrovic, 22, leads all San Antonio defensemen in points with 19 (3G / 16A) in 39 games. He has yet to play with the Panthers this season, but has one assist in 13 career games over the last two years.

Benn missed Monday’s practice with an undisclosed injury, but his return to the ice this morning suggests that he will play tonight against the Senators. Benn has two goals and four assists in his last six games.

Seguin was sent home from practice with an illness on Monday, but was on the ice this morning, which is a good sign that he will play tonight vs. the Senators. Seguin has one goal and four assists in his last six games.

There is no word on the nature or severity of Benn’s injury, but he was not on the ice for practice on Monday. Monitor his status during Tuesday’s morning skate. Benn has two goals and four assists in his last six games.

Seguin was sent home from practice on Monday and is listed as questionable, despite coach Lindy Ruff saying he will most likely play. Monitor his status during the Stars’ game day skate.

Dallas doesn’t play until Tuesday vs. Ottawa, so Seguin was sent home this morning to rest up with the hope that he will be available for tomorrow’s game.

Seguin missed yesterday's practice because he had his wisdom teeth removed on Sunday, but he is back on the ice today and will be in the lineup tonight vs. the Kings. He will centre the top line with Jamie Benn and Valeri Nichushkin on his wings.

The Stars are fully expecting to have their star winger in the lineup on Tuesday vs. the Kings. He is off to a stellar start to the season, recording seven goals (t-4th in NHL) and eight assists (t-15th) for 15 points (t-3rd) in 11 games this season. Monitor his status during Tuesday's morning skate.

There is no word as to why Seguin was absent from the skate, but we should get an update from coach Lindy Ruff shortly. Valeri Nichushkin skated in his spot on the top-line.

Seguin missed practice on Friday because of an illness, but stated that he should be available for Saturday night. Seguin had no points with one shot in 18:34 in the Stars' 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks on Friday. Expect an update on Saturday morning.

Duchene hasn't played since March 29 because of a knee injury. He missed the final eight games of the regular season and the first five in this best-of-7 series against the Wild, which the Avalanche lead 3-2. Duchene skated on the fourth line with Brad Malone and Maxime Talbot during pregame warmups. It was a different line than he practiced with during the morning skate, when he was between Ryan O'Reilly and PA Parenteau. Duchene led Colorado with 70 points (23 goals, 47 assists) during the regular season.

Duchene took part in the Avalanche's morning skate and was on a line with Ryan O'Reilly and P.A Parenteau which suggests that if he plays, he will not be on the fourth line like head coach Patrick Roy had originally indicated. Duchene has not played since March 29th, but is the Avalanche's top offensive threat and definitely boosts their chances at eliminating the Wild tonight if he is in the lineup.

The early word from the Avs is that Duchene is likely to return on Monday, but head coach Patrick Roy has not confirmed that. Roy said that if Duchene does play, he will likely play on the fourth line and power-play, but I find that hard to believe. The Avalanche will hit the ice for their morning skate shortly, so we will have word on Duchene's availability soon thereafter.

Duchene wasn't confirmed to return today for the Avs but with Patrick Roy calling the shots, a return tonight is entirely possible.

Duchene would add the extra scoring punch that the Avs could desperately use to easily push past the Wild. Instead, look for a Round 2 return from a knee injury at the earliest for the Avs' leading scorer.

Duchene was injured in a collision with his linemate Jamie McGinn on Saturday. This is a tough break for the Avalanche who lose their leading scorer just two weeks before the end of the regular season. Four weeks will have him returning around April 21, which will see him likely miss the majority, if not all of the first-round.

Monitor Seguin's status during pre-game warmups, but if he is unable to go expect Chris Mueller, who was recalled today, to slide into the lineup.
