The Stars forward did not practice Thursday as part of his continued recovery plan from surgery\u00a0Dec. 16 for a torn ACL in his right knee. &#8220;He did some testing earlier to be clear at the end of the week,&#8221; coach Glen Gulutzan said. &#8220;Planned day off. He&#8217;ll be on the ice tomorrow morning. He&#8217;s probably a game player (Friday).&#8221; &#8230; Goalie\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/jake-oettinger-8479979\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jake Oettinger<\/a> and forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/matt-duchene-8475168\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Duchene<\/a> will not play Friday. Oettinger was scratched from a scheduled start against the Wild on Wednesday because of lower-body tightness and did not practice Thursday, but his absence is not expected to be long. &#8220;He was looked at, and we only think it&#8217;ll be a day or two, so that&#8217;s good news,&#8221; Gulutzan said. Duchene will take part in the morning skate but not play. He also did not practice Thursday. &#8230; Forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/colin-blackwell-8476278\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Colin Blackwell<\/a>, who sustained a lower-body injury during practice Saturday, is not expected to play Friday but is improving. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if we&#8217;re there yet,&#8221; Gulutzan said. &#8220;Probably another day or two, just talking to (head athletic trainer Dave) Zeis. But certainly practicing, and it&#8217;s a little bit of pain management.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas Stars Tyler Seguin could make his preseason debut at the Minnesota Wild on Friday (8 p.m. ET;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":904101,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-904100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/904100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=904100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/904100\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/904101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=904100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=904100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=904100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
