Dallas Stars head coach Pete DeBoer announced Scott Wedgewood is day-to-day after the goaltender was stretchered off the ice during Thursday's game against the Florida Panthers, according to Matthew DeFranks of the Dallas Morning News.

Wedgewood may skate Saturday but won't be available versus the New York Islanders.

The 30-year-old appeared to suffer an injury when he reached back and extended himself to make the second of two spectacular saves on an Anton Lundell breakaway in the second period. He immediately removed his blocker and clutched his lower back.

Jake Oettinger replaced Wedgewood in the Dallas net. The Stars went on to win 6-4.

Dallas initially announced Wedgewood was "OK" after he left the contest.

Wedgewood has a 3-3-1 record and .903 save percentage in seven games for the Stars this season.
