Add Faksa to list of Dallas Stars injured at World Cup

It’s early, but so far, the Dallas Stars are likely the team grumbling the most about World Cup of Hockey injuries.

Tyler Seguin’s hairline fracture in his heel is clearly the main concern, yet he isn’t the only player to watch, as Radek Faksa is banged up as well.

Faksa is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury, according to Peter Dufek. (Stars Inside Edge’s Mark Stepneski also passed along a Google translation indicating that it’s considered an “upper-body” issue ...)

The whole situation has the Stars, well, a bit concerned. This has been a physical tournament in the beginning stages, so Dallas’ plight likely has other teams holding their breath with the start of the 2016-17 season not that far away.
