Seguin, who hasn't played since the preseason opener on Sept. 18 due to a minor injury issue, will play tonight's game and Sunday's preseason finale against Colorado as the Stars prepare for the regular-season opener against Arizona on Oct. 4.

Stars center Tyler Seguin will return to the lineup tonight when the Dallas Stars play their sixth preseason game, taking on the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center.

"I feel good. You need to get some games in," Seguin said. "That first game obviously felt like the first game in a while. Tonight's just thinking about the details of the game, start pretty simple. I'll have tonight and Sunday to get a good feeling and then open up next week."

Seguin will be in his usual spot tonight, centering the Stars' top line with Jamie Benn and Alexander Radulov on his wings.

"Just to get comfortable and playing with the pace of play and him making plays," Stars coach Jim Montgomery said of Seguin. "He's such an important part of our team we need him to get the rust off and get ready for Oct. 4."

The Stars (4-0-1) will roll out their strongest lineup of the preseason against a very good roster for St. Louis (3-2-0).

"We're just looking to continue to get better in our puck possession game and special teams, especially," Montgomery said. "We're starting to see the players who are going to play special teams, so now execution and effort are really going to be important in building momentum."

The Stars are expected to roll out their top power-play unit of Benn, Seguin, Radulov, Jason Spezza, and John Klingberg. In Thursday's practice, the second unit was Mattias Janmark, Roope Hintz, Devin Shore, Esa Lindell, and Miro Heiskanen.

Landon Bow will get the start in goal. Anton Khudobin was the scheduled starter, but he is out with a minor injury. Khudobin did not practice Friday, and neither did forward Valeri Nichushkin, who also is out with a minor injury. Brett Ritchie, who missed Thursday's practice, was back on the ice Friday morning.

Montgomery had no update on defenseman Stephen Johns, who has been out with an undisclosed injury and has yet to play a preseason game.

"Every day [the level of concern] grows as we get closer to Oct. 4," Montgomery said. "There's nothing we can do. You've got to wait for someone to feel right themselves most importantly. It's not a doctor issue, but it's most important that whenever a player comes back that they feel right, so they're comfortable on the ice, and they can execute."

Also, defensemen Dillon Heatherington and Reece Scarlett cleared waivers Friday morning and were assigned to the AHL on Friday afternoon.
