Monday practice update

The Stars were down to 12 forwards at practice Monday because Mike Ribeiro was out with an undisclosed injury. Coach Dave Tippett said there was a chance Ribeiro could practice Tuesday and he didn’t indicate that any missed games would be involved.

Jere Lehtinen did not practice today, but he did skate on his own before practice. He’ll be evaluated later to see if he could practice Tuesday, so his status for Wednesday is still up in the air.

Here’s how the lines looked for practice, which Tippett said was geared towards getting players to work together:

Morrow-Richards-Eriksson
Brunnstrom-Modano-Avery
Neal-Ott-Crombeen
Lundqvist-Petersen-Barch

The defensive pairings were juggled with several different combinations used.
