Connor Brown of the Oilers sustained an upper-body injury during a victory over Dallas, leaving the game after a hit from Alex Petrovic late in the second period. Head coach Kris Knoblauch provided no immediate update on Brown’s status, and if he cannot play Tuesday, either Viktor Arvidsson or Jeff Skinner may replace him. Additionally, Stars coach Peter DeBoer indicated that Roope Hintz, who was a late scratch, is not close to returning, while pending UFA Joona Koppanen should consider free agency for better opportunities, given his limited role with the Penguins.
