Loui on a line with Fiddler and Dvorak today.

Eriksson practiced on the third line today, skating with two defensive specialists. Last season he scored 27 goals and 73 points over 79 while playing mostly next to Brad Richards. While the Stars are aiming to even out their top three lines, it certainly hurts his fantasy hockey worth.

Loui Eriksson, who left last night's game against Florida early after taking a hard hit, practiced today and appeared fine. "He's OK. He's got a little bit of a bruise (in his thigh)," said Stars coach Glen Gulutzan. "He's going to be fine."

Good news for the Stars, who already have their captain listed as day-to-day. Last season Eriksson scored 27 goals and 73 points, hitting 70 for the second consecutive season. Expect a slight drop in production should he remain on the second line.
