Faksa (lower body) logged 13:32 of ice time and added a hit in Friday's 1-0 shootout win over the Blackhawks.

All forwards in the game were held off the scoresheet, as the Stars' Jake Oettinger and the Blackhawks' Marc-Andre Fleury kept the game scoreless to the shootout. Faksa missed three games with a lower-body injury, and his ice time was a bit on the low side in his return. The 28-year-old center typically plays a larger role for the Stars, though he is mainly a defensive presence. He has 11 points, 72 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 43 appearances.
