Status report
Pionk and Ehlers each will be a game-time decision, Jets coach Scott Arniel said; Pionk has missed 12 games because of a lower-body injury and Ehlers two games, also because of a lower-body injury. Fleury, a defenseman, would enter the lineup if Pionk cannot play and Gustafsson, a forward, would come in if Ehlers remains out. … The Stars held an optional morning skate. … Seguin has been taking contact in practice and is close to returning, Dallas coach Pete DeBoer said; the center had hip surgery Dec. 5 and has not played since Dec. 1.
