Robidas, Souray injuries loom large for Stars

An interesting exercise at the end of the 2011-12 NHL regular season might be to see which Stars players skated in all 82 contests.

Richard Cloutier: Oilers Do Something

Sheldon Souray is back. Sorta. For now. The Oilers have placed him on re-entry waivers. What could it mean?
