Mikko Rantanen Sidelined 7-10 Days; Recovery Monitored Closely

Mikko Rantanen remains sidelined with a lower-body injury sustained during the Olympics and will not resume skating for at least 7-10 days. The 29-year-old has already missed four games, and the Stars are monitoring his recovery with a potential return expected in late March. His absence, alongside Radek Faksa's injury, significantly influenced Dallas's approach to the trade deadline as they navigate a competitive stretch in the Central Division.
