Defenseman Connor Carrick back in Stars lineup after three games as a healthy scratch
ST. LOUIS -- Stars defenseman Connor Carrick will return to the Dallas lineup on Tuesday night against the Blues, replacing Julius Honka on the third defensive pairing alongside Taylor Fedun.Carrick was a healthy scratch the last three games after finally returning from injury against Montreal on Dec. 31.
