Eaves (illness) will be back in action against Montreal on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Eaves missed seven contests with a lingering malady that kept him out longer than originally expected. The veteran winger was in the midst of a mini slump when he picked up a bug, as he had gone four nights without recording a single point. When healthy, the 31-year-old has seen time on the power play where he has logged an average of 1:44 ice time per game and tallied four goals and a helper. If he returns to the Stars' top line and plays with the man advantage, Eaves certainly offers some fantasy upside.

Eaves (illness) will once again sit out Friday against the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

The nature of Eaves' illness remains a bit unclear, but it will cost the winger his sixth straight game. Even when healthy, his game doesn't exactly lend itself to fantasy success. There's no definitive expectation of when he will be available again, but expect an update when he's set to rejoin the lineup.

Eaves (illness) is out Saturday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Eaves has now missed three consecutive games due to an illness, and is still without a definitive timetable for his return to action. The 31-year-old winger has yet to resume skating, so Eaves' owners can expect an update on his status once he's able to return to the ice. Radek Faksa will continue to draw into the Stars' lineup while Eaves is sidelined.

Eaves (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's home game against the Jets, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the second consecutive match against the Jets for the Stars, with Eaves drawing into neither tilt. Radek Faksa filled in for him the last time out, logging 11:24 of ice time, and that figures to be the case once again Thursday. Eaves will try to overcome his illness in time for Saturday's date with the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Eaves will likely be replaced in the Stars' lineup by center Radek Faksa. The 31-year-old forward's next chance to return will come Thursday when Dallas hosts Winnipeg.

Eaves will likely skip the Stars' trip to Winnipeg on Tuesday due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Most recently playing on the team's fourth line, Eaves has averaged just 12:28 of ice time on the season and has just a total of 12 points in 40 games. The numbers don't equate to a player that should impact many fantasy leagues, but either way, an illness shouldn't hold him out too long. Travis Moen (lower body) is considered an option to return Tuesday, and would likely replace Eaves assuming he can't go. If Moen remains unavailable, Radek Faksa would then be the likely candidate to rejoin the lineup after serving as a healthy scratch for the last two games.

Eaves again posted no points, adding just a single shot and a paltry 10:56 of ice time in the Stars' loss to Arizona on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Eaves has gone quiet since the five-game point streak that had him turning heads. Back on the team's bottom six, his chances of producing significant offense are greatly reduced. What we saw when he posted eight points in five games was just how much of a boost the third guy gets when he lines up with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin. It's also not helping his value that he's been completely dropped from the power play.

Eaves recorded his second career hat trick in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Eaves was the culprit sending Corey Crawford to the bench, roasting the goalie for three goals -- two on power plays -- in the first period. After not recording any points in January, the 31-year-old is on a bit of a hot streak, tallying points in four straight. The former first-round pick may be worth a speculative add in deeper leagues.
