Dallas Stars Could Get Lineup Boost For Game 6

An elbow to the head in Game 4 knocked him out of Game 5 for the Dallas Stars in their series with the Seattle Kraken. But the news is looking up for fourth-year forward Mason Marchment.

Marchment skated on Friday, and will travel with the team to Seattle for Game 6, according to Stars head coach Pete DeBoer. He'll be a game-time decision on Saturday. 

Marchment exited the game on Tuesday after taking a hit to the head on this play in Game 4.

Marchment has five points in 10 games thus far in the postseason, after notching a somewhat disappointing 31 points in 68 regular season games, along with a career-high 80 penalty minutes.

Seattle fans won't exactly be welcoming Marchment back to the series. The 27-year-old has not made many fans in the Pacific Northwest.
