Chicago Blackhawks right wing Marian Hossa will play against the Dallas Stars on Friday (8:30 p.m.; NHLN, SNO, SNP, CSN-CH, FS-SW).
Hossa has missed the past nine games because of a leg injury sustained against the Anaheim Ducks on Feb. 13.
Hossa has 10 goals and 28 points in 54 games this season. He will likely assume first-line duty alongside center Jonathan Toews and left wing Andrew Ladd.
