DALLAS, TEXAS - APRIL 17: Joe Pavelski #16 of the Dallas Stars lays on the ice after a hit from Matt Dumba #24 of the Minnesota Wild in the second period in Game One of the First Round of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs at American Airlines Center on A
Pavelski did not practice on Tuesday.
The Stars said he is feeling better and that they’ll be ready to compete Wednesday with or without him.
"Sure, there's pressure. But for me, I know we can play better than we did and that's what we're concentrating on. It's not being down 0-1 or 0-2 or anything else like that. If we go down and play a really good game, then I'm ok. I think we've got to get our game in a really good place for 60 minutes and the rest will take care of itself," said Stars Head Coach Peter Deboer.
The face-off for Game 2 is at 8:30 p.m. at the American Airlines Center.
