Dallas Stars defenseman Jason Demers could be available Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators.
"He's doing better than I thought," head coach Lindy Ruff told Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official website.
"You could even put him in as a possibility for (Tuesday), which is surprising. We hope that he keeps progressing and that this isn't much more than one or two games."
Demers left Saturday's win over the Buffalo Sabres with a lower-body injury and didn't return.
He ranks second among Stars defensemen with 10 points in 19 games.
