Senior Staff Writer for the Dallas Stars, Mike Heika, is reporting that Mason Marchment will likely return to the Stars’ lineup on Thursday as they take on the St. Louis Blues for their season finale. The Stars have been without Marchment since their March 13 game against the Seattle Kraken.
Aside from their terrific play throughout the regular season, one of the major storylines in Dallas was addressing the second line centered by Tyler Seguin. The team found their answer at the trade deadline, acquiring Max Domi from the Chicago Blackhawks to play with Marchment and Seguin.
Unfortunately for Dallas, they have been unable to see much action with those three on the same line. Since the trade deadline, the Stars have only been able to field a complete second line for three games.
Although nothing has been confirmed from the team in regard to his activation, the addition of Marchment back into the lineup will make the Stars an even more difficult team to face in the first round.
As the season comes to a close, Dallas currently sits in second place in the Central Division of the Western Conference. With two games remaining, each against the Blues, Dallas sits one point back of the division-leading Avalanche, who have the same amount of games played.
