Jason Demers also skated with his teammates and again declared he felt ready to play if his coach was ready to pencil him in the lineup. I’ll be very surprised, though, if that happens.
Jason Demers did not skate and, though Todd McLellan said decisions would be made later in the day, it’s a very safe bet that No. 60 won’t be in the lineup.
The Dallas Stars have signed defenseman John Klingberg, a fifth-round pick in the 2010 draft. Klingberg is expected to play in Finland's top league next season
