Stars put Whitney on IR

RayWhitneyGreen

The Dallas Stars placed veteran forward Ray Whitney on injured reserve Tuesday, though the placement was retroactive to Saturday, Nov. 9.

Whitney, 41, logged huge minutes in Saturday’s 5-2 loss to Chicago -- 21:08, his season-high -- and currently sits third on the Stars in assists, with seven.

By placing Whitney on IR rectoactively, Dallas could only end up losing his services of a pair of games. The Stars play back-to-back games in Edmonton and Calgary on Wednesday and Thursday, then don’t play again until a road date in Vancouver on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Whitney, believed to be suffering a lower-body injury, is eligible to come off IR on the 16th.
