The Dallas Stars faced a setback in Finland as forward Tyler Seguin was ruled day-to-day due to a lower-body injury. Coach Pete DeBoer indicated that the decision regarding the lineup would depend on medical evaluations.

Seguin had previously contributed to the team by scoring in their last game against the Florida Panthers. This marks his second lower-body injury this season, having missed three games earlier. In his absence, Mavrik Bourque stepped up to join Matt Duchene and Mason Marchment on the ice.
