Status report
Kiviranta did not travel with the Stars and will miss at least the next two games after the forward was injured blocking a shot in a 5-0 win against the San Jose Sharks on Monday; Dallas coach Glen Gulutzan said the hope is Kiviranta could return in a week. ... Samuelsson participated in the Sabres’ optional morning skate after missing practice Wednesday for a planned maintenance day.
