Zubov, who has yet to play in the series due to a strained knee ligament, is day-to-day.
The status of left wing Jere Lehtinen for Tuesday's game is still uncertain.
Stars coach Ken Hitchcock said earlier this week that Zubov might play in Game 4 or Game 5 at the latest. There is no timetable for Lehtinen's return.
Zubov was expected to be out two to four weeks after a collision
late last month with Florida Panthers defenseman Bret Hedican.
On March 21, the Stars announced they had signed Zubov to a
five-year contract extension through the 2004-2005 season.
Lehtinen was the Stars' best defensive forward until an ankle injury limited him to 17 games. |
