Dallas Stars forward Mikko Rantanen is in the lineup Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins after missing the last 15 games with a lower-body injury, the team announced.

Rantanen suffered the injury at the Olympics while representing Finland. He last suited up with the Stars on Feb. 4.

The 29-year-old still ranks third on the team with 69 points this season despite playing just 54 games.

The Stars have posted a 9-4-2 record since the Olympic break, although they've lost their last four contests.
