As the Dallas Stars stand one win away from Round 2, more help could be on the way.
Injured forward Jason Robertson's status is now considered day-to-day, head coach Pete DeBoer told reporters on Thursday.
However, Robertson and defenceman Miro Heiskanen will remain out of the lineup for Game 6 against the Colorado Avalanche.
Robertson, 25, suffered a lower-body injury that was originally classified as week-to-week in Dallas's regular-season finale.
He had 35 goals and 45 assists for 80 points while playing all 82 games this season.
Heiskanen has been out of the lineup since January after having knee surgery. The Stars defenceman returned to practice before the start of the playoffs but has been considered day-to-day.
In 50 games before the injury, the Finn racked up five goals and 20 assists.
The Stars lead the Avalanche 3-2 in their first-round series. Live coverage of Game 6 is available Thursday on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ at 9:30 p.m. ET / 6:30 p.m. PT.
