After he missed his third game of the season Saturday and took Sunday off, Zubov's injured right foot seemed to respond well in practice. And that's good news for the Stars. While Zubov still is listed as "questionable" for tonight's game against the Anaheim Ducks and is said to be a game-time decision by Coach Dave Tippett. The thought that Zubov might be ready to play in a key contest is encouraging. "There's certain players that not only make your team better because of their presence, they make your team better because they make other players around them better," Tippett said. The Stars and Ducks each have learned about survival without their key puck-moving defensemen.
