The Dallas Stars will welcome Patrick Sharp back to the lineup Saturday when they take on the Florida Panthers, head coach Lindy Ruff announced Friday.
Sharp is coming off a 12-game absence and has missed 26 total contests this season because of concussion-like symptoms.
"Anytime you can put Sharp, a healthy Sharp, back in the lineup your lineup is going to get better," Ruff said.
Sharp joins the Stars at a good time, as they've moved into a wild-card position in the West, and own a 6-3-1 record over their past 10 games.
In just 11 games this season, Sharp has one goal and one assist.
