Stars defenseman Nicklas Grossman sat out Friday's game with an undisclosed injury Friday night and is listed as day-to-day.
Grossman suffered the injury, believed to be a knee, in Wednesday's game when he got tangled up with Rangers forward Marian Gaborik during a puck battle in corner.
"The injury he had the other night has flared up and he won't play," said Stars head coach Marc Crawford. "He is right now day-to-day. We'll see how is as he goes through it. He saw the doctor the other day and we've decided to hold him out. We'll see if he improves on Saturday and then make a decision on Sunday."
Mark Fistric moved into the Grossman's spot on a pairing with Stephane Robidas and played a season-high 24:21 in the game.
"I really liked Fistric tonight," said Crawford. "He got pushed into a lot more minutes and significant role, and he handled it really well."
Along with the big minutes, Fistric picked up an assist in the game and a plus-two rating.
"It was fun," Fistric said on the Fox Sports Southwest postgame show. "It was nice to get more of an opportunity. It's always a pleasure to be able to play with Stephane. I think we did pretty well together. We did a good job of talking and making sure that we didn't give up much in our own zone."
Jeff Woywitka was back in the lineup after being scratched for the past five game and was paired with Matt Niskanen. Woywitka picked up his second assist of the season while playing
