Stars will be without Spezza for at least a week

It could be a week. It could be two. It could be even longer.

The point is: Jason Spezza's going to be out of the Dallas Stars' lineup for the foreseeable future.

Spezza was hurt in the Stars' 4-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday, during which he saw only 11:49 of ice time. It's probable he was hurt on this play, when Adam Lowry hit Spezza at the blue line.

The 33-year-old was riding a three-game point streak before being hurt, and has eight goals and 23 assists in 51 games. His loss is big for Dallas, which is trying to work itself back into playoff position in the Western Conference.
