Stars’ Radek Faksa draws back into lineup for Game 4 vs. Oilers – Sportsnet.ca

The Dallas Stars are making one tweak to their lineup Wednesday for Game 4 of the Western Conference Final against the Edmonton Oilers.

Stars head coach Peter DeBoer told reporters centre Radek Faksa will dress in favour of Craig Smith.

Faksa has one goal in seven games during the playoffs. His lone goal was the series-winner for the Stars in their 2-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 7 of the opening round. Faksa also missed three games during that series due to an undisclosed injury.

The 30-year-old Faksa, who was drafted 13th overall by the Stars in 2012, finished the regular season with seven goals and 19 points in 74 games.

Smith, 34, assisted on Faksa’s goal against Vegas and overall has two helpers in 14 playoff games. He registered 11 goals and 20 points in 75 games during the regular season.

Dallas holds a 2-1 series lead following a 5-3 victory Monday in Edmonton.

Watch the Oilers host the Stars for Game 4 live at 8:30 p.m. ET / 6:30 p.m. MT on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+.
