Stars get Klingberg back after 6-game absence

The Dallas Stars are welcoming John Klingberg back to the lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Islanders.

John Klingberg is in tonight. Stephen Johns no longer an emergency call-up but a regular call-up, so he is sticking around.

Klingberg took part in the pregame warmup on the third pairing with Patrik Nemeth.

The 23-year-old defenseman hasn't played since March 4 due to what the team called a lower-body injury, missing the club's last six games.

Klingberg has 10 goals and 43 assists through 66 games.

His return comes a day after the team announced an Achilles injury to Tyler Seguin that'll keep the star center off the ice for three-to-four weeks.
