Demers (lower body) will return to the lineup Friday against the Canucks, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Analysis:

Demers missed Tuesday's contest against the Senators due to the lower-body injury suffered against the Sabres last Saturday, but it appears the few extra days of rest was enough. He'll be paired back with Johnny Oduya in his return to the lineup.
