Stars forward Adam Burish has missed 15 games since breaking his hand Nov. 15 against Florida. He has been working out and is healthy, but Stars coach Glen Gulutzan held him out Monday to get him at 100 percent.
The gritty winger has been sidelined since November 15th. Expect him to bump Eric Nystrom back to the fourth line.
"Bur is doing fine, but he's ten days behind Goose in the healing process," Gulutzan said. "He had surgery on the hand, no pin, but it was displaced. Goose's wasn't displaced, it was just broke. There is a big difference in healing time. He's about ten days behind. Where ever Goose is, add ten days for Bur."
Burish is likely chomping at the bit to get back into the lineup. The Madison, Wisconsin was on pace for career highs with three goals and eight points in 16 games. He will be worth a look in deeper leagues if dropped.
