Coach Pete DeBoer announced the status of Tyler Seguin and Jani Hakanpaa at Tuesday's practice.

Stars head coach Pete DeBoer met with reporters following Tuesday's morning skate and briefed them on a couple of injuries to key players.

Forward Tyler Seguin has been skating off and on during practice since last week and will be a game-time decision, DeBoer announced.

Seguin has been out of the lineup since a February 22 loss to the Ottawa Senators after suffering a lower-body injury. This week, he rejoined line mates Matt Duchene and Mason Marchment.

"We'll see how he feels tomorrow," DeBoer said. "I'd call him 'game time'."

DeBoer has been taking things slowly with Seguin, and is cautiously optimistic he can play Wednesday night against the Arizona Coyotes at American Airlines Center.

Seguin's injury has provided an opportunity for Logan Stankoven to shine since being called up from the Texas Stars of the AHL. The 21-year-old has not disappointed, scoring nine points (5-4-9) in 11 games after being placed on a line with Jamie Benn and Wyatt Johnston.

In 58 games this season, Seguin has tallied 20 goals and 25 assists for 45 points. When Seguin, Duchene and Marchment have been together, the line has produced 61 goals. Since Seguin has been out of the lineup, Sam Steel was moved up to replace him, but the line has just two goals between Duchene and Marchment.

DeBoer also announced defenseman Jani Hakanpaa is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury and did not practice Tuesday.

If Hakanpaa is unable to play Wednesday, it is expected Nils Lundkvist would fill the void after being a healthy scratch the past several games.

Seguin's return to the lineup would give DeBoer some flexibility with healthy scratches on the forward lines. It's unlikely that Stankoven would be sent down, given the way he's been playing. The scenario that makes the most sense would be to put Seguin back on his line with Duchene and Marchment, move Steel down to the fourth line, and rotate healthy scratches between Steel, Ty Dellandrea, Radek Faksa and Craig Smith.
