The Stars held their practice in McKinney today, because they're also having their golf tournament up there.
Mark Fistric was struck by a shot on the ankle and was helped off the ice. No update right now. He looked pretty bad, but some times those things settle down after a day. We expect to get a better picture tomorrow. Trevor Daley also left practice with a cut on his face, but appeared to be OK.
Marty Turco (flu-like symptoms) was out and looks fine. He should start Wednesday against Calgary. Apparently, one of his daughters had the flu and that was one of the corncerns the team had.
Brad Richards (groin) and Loui Eriksson (flu-like symptoms) missed practice, but Marc Crawford had Jere Lehtinen on a line with Brenden Morrow and Mike Ribeiro and had Jamie Benn on a line with Mike Modano and Steve Ott, so I think there's a very good chance you will see those lines on Wednesday.
He also kept together the Sutherby-Wandell-Brunnstrom line, so it appears your healthy scratches on Wednesday could be Krys Barch and Toby Petersen. We'll see how practice goes on Tuesday and how the flu thing is with the team.
