Sekera (not injury related) is an option against the Flyers on Monday, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sekera has periodically served as a healthy scratch throughout the season, so his inclusion in the lineup versus Phildelphia is anything but a lock. If he does suit up, the veteran blueliner shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value considering he has just three points in 22 games this year.

Sekera (not injury relate), who cleared protocols Friday to return to practice, won't be ready to play versus Detroit on Friday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sekera has been out of action since Jan. 12 against the Kraken, a stretch of four games on the shelf due to his placement in the COVID-19 protocols. Even if the veteran defenseman does get back into the lineup, he shouldn't be expected to offer more than low-end fantasy value considering he has just three points in 22 appearances this year.

The Stars placed Sekera in COVID-19 protocols Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sekera will miss at least two games while he recovers from the virus. The 35-year-old should rejoin Dallas' third defense pairing once healthy and active.

Sekera has gone five games without a point.

EDGE Analysis

In that stretch, Sekera also sat out five games as a healthy scratch. The 35-year-old blueliner is not an everyday presence in the lineup, and he only sees third-pairing usage when he plays. For the season, he's at three assists, 15 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, 12 hits and an even plus-minus rating in 22 appearances.

Sekera notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Sekera had the secondary assist on Joe Pavelski's third-period tally. With two helpers in the last five games, fantasy managers have little reason to get excited about Sekera. He has just three assists, 12 shots on net, 11 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in 17 contests overall.

Sekera recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Sekera set up Jason Robertson with a nice feed for what stood as the game-winning goal at 8:57 of the second period. The assist was Sekera's second of the year in 13 games. The 35-year-old has added 10 shots on net, 10 PIM, 10 hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating in a third-pairing role. He'll likely see more playing time than Joel Hanley, but Sekera doesn't do enough of anything in limited minutes to warrant a spot on fantasy rosters.

Sekera (illness) returned to practice Monday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sekera was back on the ice for Monday's practice session after missing out against the Blues on Saturday due to a non-COVID-19 illness. Even with his return to the team, Sekera is far from a lock for the lineup against Tuesday and could periodically serve as a healthy scratch.

Sekera (illness) isn't expected to play Saturday versus St. Louis, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Sekera under the weather, look for Joel Hanley to draw into the lineup against the Blues. Sekera will be reevaluated ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Edmonton.

Sekera posted an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Sekera previously had an assist taken away earlier in the season, but it appears his helper Saturday on a Tyler Seguin goal will stick. The 35-year-old Sekera has been a rotational option on the third pairing so far. He has nine hits, seven blocked shots, six PIM and an even plus-minus rating to go with the one assist in nine contests.

Sekera's assist from Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators was taken away on a scoring change.

EDGE Analysis

Points are often hard to come by for the 35-year-old defenseman, so it's tough to see him lose one. Sekera remains a defensive presence in the Stars' bottom four, but he likely won't play his way into much fantasy relevance.
