Daley (knee) isn't expected to return to the lineup Friday against the Oilers.

Analysis:

The Stars believed that Daley would be able to play before the end of the team's three-game road trip, but it appears that might not happen until Saturday in Vancouver, if at all. The defenseman has been able to skate for a while now, though it's not clear if he's been able to get in enough contact work in yet to earn his way back in the lineup.
