Comtois has been out since November 11th with a broken hand but the Ducks said he is "super close to returning." His return to the lineup could come as soon as Friday vs. the Coyotes. It's unclear who Comtois will replace but there's a good chance he'll be with Ryan Getzlaf and Troy Terry.

The Stars have recalled Thomas Harley from Texas (AHL).
Both Harley and Riley Tufte were recalled from the AHL and travelled to St. Louis but it's unclear if either will play on Friday. Harley has no points in four career NHL games.
