Status report
Centers Duchene and Faksa each will be a game-time decision, Stars coach Peter DeBoer said Thursday; each took part in Dallas' optional morning skate. If neither plays, the Stars will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. … Faksa has missed four games, Duchene one. … Martin will start after making 34 saves on 36 shots in relief of Merzlikins in a 5-4 overtime loss at the Florida Panthers on Monday. … The Blue Jackets will dress the same 18 skaters from that game.
