Status report
Pionk and Ehlers each will be a game-time decision, Jets coach Scott Arniel said; Pionk has missed 12 games because of a lower-body injury and Ehlers two games, also because of a lower-body injury. Fleury, a defenseman, would enter the lineup if Pionk cannot play and Gustafsson, a forward, would come in if Ehlers remains out. ... The Stars held an optional morning skate. ... Seguin has been taking contact in practice and is close to returning, Dallas coach Pete DeBoer said; the center had hip surgery Dec. 5 and has not played since Dec. 1.
