Status report
Suniev will make his season debut on the third line in place of Olofsson, a forward; it could be the only Flames lineup change following a 5-3 win at the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday. … Faksa was a full practice participant in practice Monday but will not return, Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said; the forward, who has not played for Dallas since Feb. 4, was injured competing for Team Czechia at the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics. … Myers, likely as a seventh defenseman, is expected to return after missing three games with an undisclosed injury.
