Stars goaltender Kari Lehtonen, who has missed the last four games with a sore back, practiced Wednesday.
Dallas coach Marc Crawford said there's a "strong possibility" Lehtonen will return for Thursday's game.
"Kari looks like he is getting more and more ready to play," Crawford said. "There is a strong possibility for tomorrow. If he's ready, he'll go. He was very positive today on his outing. ... He looked really good."
