The Penguins acquired Trevor Daley from the Blackhawks for Rob Scuderi.

Daley, 32, had six assists but did not score a goal in 29 games with the Blackhawks this season, his first since being traded from the Stars. Daley will help the Penguins with their breakout as well as on their power-play. The Penguins will retain 33 percent of Scuderi’s $3 million salary.

Daley could be out “weeks” after a knee-on-knee collision on Tuesday.

Daley was caught knee-on-knee by Islanders forward Matt Martin early in Tuesday’s 3-2 win. The Stars have already lost Tyler Seguin to a knee-on-knee collision and now they may have lost arguably their best defenseman for “weeks.” The Stars sit nine points out of a Wild Card spot and this all but ruins their playoff chances.

Daley (ankle) is expected to be out for "weeks" according to Stars head coach Lindy Ruff.

Daley will join Stephane Robidas on IR as top-4 defensemen that the Stars will be without for an extended period of time. Daley had a goal and four assists in the first 27 games this season. Jamie Oleksiak and Kevin Connauton will now be featured on the Stars blueline quite frequently over the next few weeks.

The Dallas Stars are already without defenseman Stephane Robidas for 4-6 months due to a leg fracture, and now it appears they could be without Trevor Daley for a while as well.

The Stars lost Daley early in the second period of Thursday night’s game in Toronto when he and Maple Leafs forward James van Riemsdyk got tangled up while battling for the puck. Daley went down and then slid into the end boards. Daley had to be helped off the ice. He did not return to the game and the Stars said he had a lower body injury. “He’s got an injury that looks like it’s going to be a little bit of time,” said Stars coach Lindy Ruff. “Our people will evaluate it, but I can just tell you that it’s going to be nothing that is going to be short-term.”

Stars defenseman Trevor Daley could miss the start of the regular season due to an upper body injury.

“It looks like Trevor will miss a little bit of time,” said Stars coach Lindy Ruff. “I don’t think he’ll be able to start the season, but it won’t be a long time.” Daley, who was injured in Friday’s preseason game against Florida in San Antonio, wasn’t ready to say he’d miss the start of the season. “No, no. I am hoping not,” Daley said. “We’ll give it two days and we’ll have a better idea after two days.”
