Lian Bichsel Departs Early On Sunday
18 seconds agoDallas Stars defenseman Lian Bichsel (upper body) exited early during Sunday's contest against the New York Islanders. Bichsel sustained a hit in the second frame. Before exiting, Bichsel logged nine minutes of ice time and held a -1 rating with three hits and one shot on goal. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Bichsel's status prior to their contest on Tuesday evening against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Across 18 games this season, the 20-year-old has tallied five points (two goals) with an impressive 73 hits and 12 blocked shots. If Bichsel were to miss time, fantasy managers should expect Brendan Smith to enter the starting lineup. The Dallas defense is already without star Miro Heiskanen (knee) and Nils Lundkvist (shoulder) and could be even more shorthanded going forward.
