Lundkvist (concussion) won't play Tuesday versus the Avalanche, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Pete DeBoer said that Jani Hakanpaa (upper body) returning was the only change among his skaters from the group that lost 3-2 in overtime to the Islanders on Monday. Lundkvist will be out for his seventh straight game, but there's a sense he's getting close to being available. The Stars are back home Thursday versus the Jets.

Lundkvist (concussion) won't be available for Monday's game versus the Islanders, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Lundkvist will miss a sixth straight contest Monday, he's reportedly close to returning, suggesting he could be back as soon as Tuesday against the Avalanche or Thursday versus the Jets. The 23-year-old Swede has picked up 15 points while averaging only 15:08 of ice time per game through 43 contests this campaign.

Lundkvist (concussion) didn't join the Stars for their four-game road trip, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lundkvist needs just one more point to match his total from last season but will need to wait until at least next Monday's clash with the Islanders to get back on the scoresheet. An injury to Jani Hakanpaa (upper body) will see both Derrick Pouliot and Alex Petrovic inserted into the lineup against Boston on Monday.

Lundkvist (concussion) won't play Saturday versus Edmonton, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.
EDGE Analysis
Lundkvist was evaluated for a concussion after departing Thursday's game versus Nashville, so it's no surprise he'll miss Saturday's matchup with the Oilers. The 23-year-old blueliner has two goals and 15 points through 43 games this season. Joel Hanley will slot back into the lineup in Lundkvist's absence.

Lundkvist is undergoing further evaluation for concussion symptoms, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Lundkvist's status against Edmonton on Saturday should probably be considered doubtful at this point, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. The blueliner has generated just five shots in his last six contests while averaging 12:13 of ice time, so few fantasy players are likely to be impacted by his potential absence. If Lundkvist does miss out Saturday, Joel Hanley figures to step into the lineup in his stead.

Lundkvist left Thursday's contest against Nashville because of an upper-body injury and isn't expected to return.
EDGE Analysis
Lundkvist logged just 1:34 of ice time before leaving the game. He entered the evening with two goals and 15 points across 42 appearances this season. If Lundkvist isn't available Saturday versus Edmonton, then Joel Hanley might draw back into the lineup.

Lundkvist notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Lundkvist snapped his five-game point drought by setting up a Mason Marchment tally in the second period. While his offense hasn't been very consistent, Lundkvist has at least stayed in the lineup regularly, sitting out just two of 18 games since the start of January. The 23-year-old has 15 points, 57 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 25 hits and a plus-9 rating over 42 outings. The downside is that the emergence of Thomas Harley as an all-situations powerhouse has essentially eliminated Lundkvist's chances to play with the man advantage.

Lundkvist scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Lundkvist put Dallas ahead 2-1 late in the second period, beating Ilya Sorokin with a slap shot for his second goal and 14th point of the year. While the 23-year-old blueliner has yet to provide consistent production, he'll offer some deep-league upside while Miro Heiskanen (lower body) is out. Lundkvist has averaged 1:43 of power-play time over his last seven games.

Lundkvist notched an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Lundkvist has six points and 10 shots on net over his last seven outings while going plus-6 in that span. He's seen a few more good looks recently with Miro Heiskanen (lower body) out of the lineup. Lundkvist had lost his everyday role in December, but he should be playing regularly at least until Heiskanen is healthy again. Lundkvist has 13 points, 35 shots on net, 21 hits, 20 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 31 outings in a bottom-four role.

Lundkvist scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old blueliner helped set up Matt Duchene for a tally in the second period before potting his own in the third. Lundqvist has found a groove since Christmas, delivering five points in his last six games with seven shots on net, six hits, six blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-7 rating. With Miro Heiskanen (lower body) sidelined, Lundqvist is also seeing time on the second power-play unit, although Thomas Harley has been the biggest beneficiary of Heiskanen's absence.
