The team placed forward Denis Gurianov and goaltender Braden Holtby into COVID-19 protocol on Tuesday morning, one day before the Stars will host the Kraken at the American Airlines Center. Gurianov and Holtby were not among the 11 Stars players that tested positive for the coronavirus over Christmas break, an outbreak that forced the postponement of three additional games. Gurianov and Holtby were two of the team’s strongest performers in recent games, and the length of their absences are currently unknown. Khudobin could also earn a start on the road since the Stars play the Panthers and Lightning on back-to-back nights. That was all good, so ready to go.”The Stars can also recall players from Texas to enter the lineup.
