Stars forward Jason Spezza is going to be out a while with an upper-body injury suffered in Thursday's game against the Winnipeg Jets at American Airlines Center.
"He's going to miss some time. He's got an upper-body injury," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "Right now we don't really have a time frame on it, but it's more than days."
Asked for a few more details, Ruff said what the injury wasn't and shed some light on a possible time frame.
"It's not a concussion," Ruff said. "It's going to take a week or two, maybe longer."
Spezza, who has missed seven games this season due to lower-body injuries, was injured Thursday when he was hit hard at the blue line by Jets forward Adam Lowry.
The injury is the latest blow to the Stars who unofficially have lost 223 man-games to injury or illness this season, including 191 to the forward group.
"We have to battle through another injury, but you've got to move on," Ruff said.
