Oskar Back Injury: Making progress

Back (undisclosed) has started participating in Dallas practices, Brien Rea of Victory+ reports Wednesday.

Back might be able to play by the end of the week, so perhaps he'll make his season debut Saturday against Carolina or Sunday in Nashville. The 25-year-old had four goals and 16 points in 73 regular-season outings with the Stars in 2024-25. Back will be in the mix for a bottom-six role once he's ready to return to the lineup.
