Hudler (illness) is in the lineup for Sunday's game in Chicago, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing a whopping 20 games to a mystery illness, Hudler finally returns to the Stars' lineup where he will be inserted into the third line. The 32-year-old hasn't registered a point or even a shot on goal in only four games this season, but with a supposedly full bill of health, he'll be on the look for his firsts of the season Sunday.

Hudler, who's been battling an illness, will not play in Saturday afternoon's game against the Flyers, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Some may have thought that Hudler would be fit to play in the matinee consider he had been taken off injured reserve Friday, but it appears that the Stars will take the cautious route with the veteran winger. His next chance to suit up will be Sunday, on the road against the Blackhawks.

Hudler (illness) was taken off injured reserve Friday and will likely slot in Saturday against Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Hudler has been out of the lineup since Nov. 1 but appears to finally be back to 100 percent. Signed during the offseason, the veteran has played in a mere four games for the Stars this year. With Hudler ready to go, Dallas sent Jason Dickinson back to the minors.

Hudler (illness) not yet ready to play, but getting close, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hudler appears to have shaken the virus that has kept him out of the last 17 contests, but will need to get his legs back under him. Additionally, the winger has not been activated off injured reserve. Fantasy owners expecting big things after the 32-year-old signed with the Stars during the offseason will have to wait a little longer with no clear timeline set by the organization.

Hudler (illness) is still battling a virus in Texas and did not travel with the Stars on their current five-game road trip, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hudler has been fighting this illness for the better part of the season and there's still no timetable for his return as a result. Hudler is just one season removed from a 76-point campaign in 2014-15, but his health situation is uncertain at best right now.

Hudler (illness) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hudler is expected to miss both games of the weekend slate, so the team will use the opportunity to add another forward to the roster, recalling Justin Dowling. Given that Hudler last laced up his skates for game action Nov. 1, he should be eligible to return as soon as Thursday when the Stars travel to Calgary.

Hudler (illness) is expected to miss both games this weekend.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old has only played in four games this year, but hasn't notched a point yet. He certainly has potential to break out once healthy, but that likely won't be until Tuesday at the earliest.

Hudler is once again sidelined due to illness for Thursday's game against St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Hudler previously missed five games due to illness, so it is not clear whether this is the same ailment as previous or something new that he is dealing with. When he has been healthy, the winger has struggled to contribute as he has yet to even record a shot on goal and is minus-3 through four games. It is going to be hard for the 32-year-old to get his game going when he is continuously sidelined, which means fantasy owner may want to consider dropping him from their lineups.

Hudler returned from illness for Saturday's shutout loss to the Wild and didn't even record a shot.

EDGE Analysis

Despite a load of injuries to the Dallas forward corps, Hudler played just 15:36 and didn't record a shot. He's expected to take on a bigger role with the team, but that's the most ice he's seen in his three games this season. You may want to see him find his groove in Dallas before rostering him.

Hudler (illness) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, indicating that he'll be available for the evening's contest against the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

In a corresponding move, the Stars sent Justin Dowling to AHL Texas. With several forwards still out with injuries, look for Hudler to be situated in the the top six with time on the man advantage, should such an opportunity present itself.
