Status report
Neither Roy, a forward, or Makar, a defenseman, will make the trip to Dallas, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said; each player will continue to rehab in Denver from his injury and be re-evaluated prior to Colorado's game at the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday. ... The Stars will dress the same 11-forward, seven-defenseman lineup they used in a 3-0 win against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday.
