The Stars begin a three-game road trip on Thursday night with a matchup against the Blue Jackets.

DALLAS - Head coach Pete DeBoer confirmed that forwards Matt Duchene and Radek Faksa will be game-time decisions for Thursday night's contest against the Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena.

Duchene was absent earlier this week when the Stars were edged 3-2 by the Bruins due to an upper-body injury.

Duchene has two goals and five points in 10 games this season.

Faksa, meanwhile, hasn't played since Oct. 30 against Columbus due to an upper-body injury as well.

He has appeared in seven games this season, but has yet to register a point.

The Stars' trek will also include matchups versus the Jets on Saturday and the Wild on Sunday.
