Stars' Radek Faksa: Will miss final World Cup match

Faksa (concussion) has been ruled out for Team Czech Republic's matchup with Team USA on Thursday.

Analysis:

Faksa being held out should come as no surprise as the contest means nothing with both sides having already been eliminated from the tournament. The 22-year-old can turn his attention to the NHL season as he looks to expand his role that saw him play in just 45 contests during his rookie campaign. The center will compete with Mattias Janmark for ice time as the Stars configure their bottom six.
