Stars' Patrick Eaves: Status unclear for Tuesday

Eaves (lower body) is questionable against the Jets on Tuesday.

Analysis:

Eaves has been dogged by injuries over the past two seasons and it appears 2016-17 won't be any different. After playing in the opening four contests of the year, the winger was sidelined Saturday and may not be available versus Winnipeg. Thus far, the veteran is averaging nearly three minutes per night with the man advantage but has just one power-play assist to show for it. Given the rash of injuries on the right side, the Stars will likely need to call up a forward from AHL Texas if Eaves is unable to get on the ice.
