He didn't take part in Monday's practice. Lehner is considered day-to-day with an ankle ailment.

Chicago coach Joel Quennville isn't sure if Corey Crawford (upper body) will be back in the crease on Tuesday versus Dallas.
When he was asked if Crawford could play against the Stars he said, "We'll see." Scott Darling has played three consecutive contests with Crawford sidelined due to an upper-body injury.

Sunday's 4-1 victory over Montreal will not be Niklas Backstrom's final career start.
It wouldn't have been shocking if it were, but Backstrom will play in at least one more NHL contest as Flames coach Bob Hartley plans to use the 38-year-old against his former squad, the Minnesota Wild. Backstrom is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and it would be surprising if he was offered a one-way contract given his overall performance and amount of work over the last three years. Still, if this is the end, at least he's getting the opportunity to close out his career by playing games. Until he was dealt to Calgary, Backstrom seemed destined to spend the entire 2015-16 campaign serving as Minnesota's third-string goaltender.
