Dallas Stars forward Valeri Nichushkin will get another chance to prove his worth in the postseason.
Head coach Lindy Ruff said the 21-year-old will draw back into the lineup for Game 2 against the St. Louis Blues on Sunday, according to Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News.
The move could be the result of Patrick Eaves' foot injury, which currently has the forward day to day, according to Ruff.
The 31-year-old left Friday's game after blocking a shot, and was seen in crutches on Saturday.
Eaves has fared admirably this spring, with five points in seven games. On the other hand, Nichushkin has gone pointless in five contests.
