Faksa took a hard hit along the boards during last Tuesday's preseason game and had to get stitches on his face. He was not in concussion protocol, so there's a good chance that Dallas' fourth-line centre is available for opening night.
Faksa left Wednesday's game late and did not return due to a lower-body injury. While he's officially considered a game-time decision, the Stars do not really expect him to play vs. the Jets. Look for Tanner Kero to replace him in the bottom-6.
