The Stars are finally ready to make their season debuts on Friday but they may do so without Klingberg. The All-Star defenseman was missing from practice on Thursday for what head coach Rick Bowness simply called "medical reasons." If Klingberg isn't available, Thomas Harley should suit up in his place and Miro Heiskanen would be on the top power-play unit.
Klingberg has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury but will replace Taylor Fedun in Colorado. Klingberg has scored two goals with 16 assists (18 points) in 34 games this season.
Klingberg will miss his second straight game on Wednesday and likely won’t play Thursday in Vegas either. With Klingberg out, Esa Lindell is expected to continue to quarterback the second power-play unit.
Klingberg missed Friday's game vs. the Red Wings but will travel out west with the Stars, which suggests that he could be back in the lineup this week. Monitor his status following Tuesday's practice and during the morning skate ahead of Wednesday's game.
Klingberg will miss Friday's game vs. the Red Wings with a lower-body injury that he suffered in the Winter Classic. With Klingberg out, Taylor Fedun will draw into the Stars lineup for the first time since December 20th.
Klingberg is dinged up from the Winter Classic and was not on the ice for Thursday's practice, making him questionable for Friday's game vs. the Red Wings. He is officially listed as day-to-day but monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate.
Klingberg's MRI revealed positive results and the star defenseman could end up missing just a couple of weeks. Klingberg likely won't be out more than a month and his injury opens the door for Miro Heiskanen to play massive minutes at even-strength and on the power-play.
Klingberg left Tuesday's game with a lower-body injury and the initial diagnosis is that he will miss 2-to-4 weeks. Klingberg will undergo an MRI to determine exactly how serious it is and the Stars will likely release a detailed timetable in the coming days.
Klingberg was absent from Monday’s practice but is expected to be in the lineup against the Rangers. Klingberg has been hot as of late, scoring one goal with six assists (seven points) in his last seven games.
Klingberg was forced to leave Thursday’s game after blocking a shot but is ready to play in Carolina. Klingberg has cooled off recently, picking up just one goal and one assist in his last eight games.
Klingberg has been out since November 8th but is set to return to the Stars lineup tomorrow. Klingberg has registered 13 points (5G / 8A) in 16 games with the Stars prior to getting hurt. Klingberg will be back on a pair with Esa Lindell and on the top power-play against the Blackhawks.
Klingberg is four weeks into what was originally a five-week timetable. It looks like Klingberg will be back a couple of days early as he appears to be on-pace to play Thursday. The 26-year-old was tied for sixth among defensemen in points with 13 (5G / 8A) in 15 games before getting hurt.
Klingberg underwent surgery on his hand last Friday and will miss at least five weeks. Klingberg’s original timetable was “one month,” but head coach Jim Montgomery said he would “take that deal” if Klingberg was out for six weeks. This puts Klingberg on-pace to return in late-December/early-January which will give Miro Heiskanen an extended run on the Stars top-pairing and top power-play unit.
After Thursday’s game, the Stars announced that Klingberg would miss at least three weeks. However, Klingberg underwent surgery on Friday morning and the initial timetable suggests that he will miss at least the next four weeks.
Klingberg suffered an upper-body injury last night and the Stars announced that he will miss at least three weeks. His movement to IR opened up a roster spot to call-up Joel Hanley from the AHL.
