Lundkvist exited Monday's game against Washington due to flu symptoms, and he's considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup against the Maple Leafs, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lundkvist has been dealing with flu symptoms for several days, as he was unavailable for Saturday's game against the Blues before exiting Monday's contest early. Head coach Peter DeBoer didn't specifically mention Lundkvist before Wednesday's matchup, but DeBoer said that several players are game-time decisions due to flu symptoms. If Lundkvist is unable to suit up, Alex Petrovic will likely enter the lineup after being recalled from AHL Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Lundkvist has been in the lineup for six games in a row since he recovered from a lower-body injury. The defenseman picked up his first point since Nov. 7 when he set up Thomas Harley's first goal in the third period. Lundkvist is now at two assists, 27 shots on net, 15 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 21 appearances. That's not enough production in any area to be trusted in fantasy, though it looks like he has the upper hand over Brendan Smith for a spot in the lineup.

Lundkvist (lower body) will return to the lineup versus the Avalanche on Friday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Lundkvist (lower body) will remain on the shelf against Carolina on Monday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lundkvist will miss his fourth game in the Stars' last five contests, with his last two absences due to his lower-body injury. Even when healthy, the 24-year-old blueliner is far from a lock for the lineup and will likely split time with Brendan Smith the rest of the way. As such, Lundkvist will be hard-pressed to offer more than low-end fantasy value, with most of that production coming from hits and blocked shots, though he's not an elite option in either of those categories.

Lundkvist (lower body) will not play in Tampa Bay on Saturday, according to Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Lundkvist was back in the lineup against the Sharks on Wednesday after having spent two games in the press box as a healthy scratch, only to suffer a lower-body injury after logging just 6:38 of ice time. As such, even if the blueliner is given the all-clear ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Lightning, he could still be scratched in favor of Brendan Smith.

Lundkvist won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Sharks due to a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Lundkvist was injured in the second period, leaving the Stars to finish Wednesday's contest with five blueliners. The 24-year-old defenseman should be considered day-to-day for now. If he can't play Saturday versus the Lightning, Brendan Smith will likely rejoin the lineup. If the injury is significant, the Stars may call up a blueliner to replace Lundkvist.
