A painful blocked shot sidelines the NHL’s premier penalty killer, forcing a defensive reshuffle as Kyle Capobianco enters the lineup for a critical clash against the Bruins.
Dallas Stars defenseman Esa Lindell will miss time after suffering a lower-body injury from blocking a shot against the Chicago Blackhawks. Head coach Glen Gulutzan announced Tuesday that the Finnish defenseman is expected to miss about a week initially before being evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
