Dallas Stars forward Alexander Radulov is out Friday against the Minnesota Wild due to a lower-body injury.
Radulov was originally considered a game-time decision earlier Friday.
Rookie Roope Hintz will play on the top line with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin until Radulov returns to full health.
Radulov had been off to a blazing start to the season, racking up four goals and six assists through six games.
