Back (undisclosed) has started participating in Dallas practices, Brien Rea of Victory+ reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Back might be able to play by the end of the week, so perhaps he'll make his season debut Saturday against Carolina or Sunday in Nashville. The 25-year-old had four goals and 16 points in 73 regular-season outings with the Stars in 2024-25. Back will be in the mix for a bottom-six role once he's ready to return to the lineup.
