Smith suffered an injury vs. the Islanders last Friday and missed Sunday's game vs. the Ducks but will be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Smith will replace either Ian Cole or Ethan Bear on the third pair.
Lindell missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but it looks like he'll play Saturday vs. the Devils. Lindell has scored four goals with 19 assists (23 points) in 65 games this season.
Dumba suffered an upper-body injury in Nashville on Tuesday and will not be available on Friday. Head coach Dean Evason said that Dumba's prognosis was “more positive than we anticipated,” so it doesn't look like he'll be sidelined for an extended period of time. Look for Jordie Benn to draw into the lineup in Dumba's place on Friday.
Lyubushkin has played well for the Maple Leafs since being acquired from the Coyotes but he will be the one to sit with Jake Muzzin returning from a concussion.
Lindell is battling an upper-body injury and is questionable to play Thursday in Anaheim. Monitor his status as the Stars hit the ice for warmups at 9:30 PM ET.
Lyubushkin was pulled from Tuesday's game for precautionary reasons after being punched by Taylor Hall. Carl Dahlstrom is expected to replace him in the lineup on Thursday but the Maple Leafs don't expect Lyubushkin to be out long-term. Monitor his status heading into Saturday's game in Philadelphia.
Heiskanen has missed the last 11 games with mononucleosis but is set to play Tuesday in Anaheim. Heiskanen's minutes may be limited but his return will provide a massive boost to the Stars' bluleline.
