Dumba will not require surgery but will be out of the lineup on a week-to-week basis. He exited Saturday's 3-0 win over the New York Islanders after playing only 6:02 time-on-ice and was replaced by Brendan Smith in the lineup on Sunday. The Stars have also recalled Alex Petrovic from the Texas Stars (AHL) for additional depth on the back end in Dumba's absence.
Seguin is off to a strong start to the 2024-25 campaign, scoring three points (2G / 1A) in his first three games but will sit out on Tuesday due to a lower-body injury. Mavrik Bourque will make his season debut by replacing Seguin.
Bourque was the 2023-24 AHL points leader with 77 (26G / 51A) in 71 games and was projected to crack the opening night roster for Dallas before suffering an undisclosed injury that caused him to exit the team's final preseason game. The 22-year-old Bourque was expected to play on a line with Jamie Benn and fellow rookie Logan Stankoven. He makes his season debut as Tyler Seguin draws out of the lineup due to a lower-body injury.
Johansson has gotten off to a hot start in the first two games of the season with two points but will be a game-time decision again on Tuesday in St. Louis. The 34-year-old was a game-time decision on Sunday but ended up playing 14:57 time-on-ice.

Originally expected to return on Tuesday, Eriksson Ek will remain out of the lineup for at least one more game. Eriksson Ek did not travel with Minnesota for the start of their seven-game road trip after he took an elbow to the face from Adam Larsson in the second period and went to the locker room in Saturday's game. He missed the final 12:45 of the period before returning to the game in the third period with a full face shield. He only played one shift, though, and left the game again and did not return.
Tavares did not play on Saturday against the Penguins due to an illness but was back at practice as a full participant on Tuesday. He has one point (0G / 1A) in two games so far this season. The Maple Leafs return to action on Wednedsay night against the Los Angeles Kings.
Nylander was absent from practice on Tuesday due to an illness. Max Pacioretty was inserted into Toronto's top powerplay unit in his absence. The Maples don't return to action until Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Kings, so it's unclear if Nylander will be ready to return to the lineup.

Toews was a surprise scratch on Monday, with his absence not being announced prior to warmups. Oliver Kylington will draw into the lineup in his place.
Ullmark did not dress in Ottawa's high-scoring 8-7 victory over Los Angeles on Monday due to a strain and is considered day-to-day as he recovers. The 31-year-old net-minder just signed a four-year, $33 million contract extension with Ottawa last Wednesday. Head Coach Travis Green said Ullmark has a possibility to be ready for the Senators' next contest on Thursday.
Ottawa is expected to be without its 22-year-old centre for "a week or two" as he recovers from an upper-body injury. Grieg is in his third NHL campaign and had yet to pick up a point in his first two appearances for the Senators' before his injury. Adam Guadette replaced him in Ottawa's lineup on Monday.
Durzi played only 9:09 time-on-ice before exiting Monday's game against the New Jersey Devils with an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old defenseman was off to a strong start to the season, with two points (0G / 2A), 11 blocks, and seven penalty minutes in three games.
Zub played only 2:38 time-on-ice before exiting Monday's game with an apparent upper-body injury. The 29-year-old hard-hitting defenseman has battled injuries the last two seasons, being limited to 53 and 69 games respectively.
Ullmark did not practice on Sunday due to what Senators' head coach Travis Green referred to as a "maintenance day," but did not dress for Monday afternoon's contest against the Los Angeles Kings. The Senators recalled Mads Sogaard and turned to Anton Forsberg as their starting netminder on Monday in the interim. The 31-year-old Ullmark signed a four-year, $33 million contract extension before the start of the season and was playing well early in his tenure with the Senators, posting a 2.58 GAA and .914 SV% in two contests (1-1-0).
With Grieg out of the lineup on Monday due to an upper-body injury, Adam Gaudette will draw into the lineup for the Senators. The 22-year-old Grieg has been held off the scoresheet in his first two games this season, recording a -2 plus/minus while averaging 14:03 time-on-ice.
Peterka has missed two straight games due to a concussion but has been practicing with the team for nearly a week and could return to the lineup on Wednesday. The 22-year-old Peterka broke out last season with 50 points (28G / 22A) in 82 games.
