The Dallas Stars lost 1-2 to the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. Despite reaching 100 points, the Texas team suffered two injuries.
Both forward Michael Bunting and defenseman Tyler Myers finished the game against Philadelphia with injuries. After the match, Stars head coach Glen Gulutzan addressed the matter during his media duties.
"No, I don't yet [have an update]. I don't. Preliminary, I don't think it'll be that long, but you can see the schedule is taking its toll on teams, and it's certainly taking its toll on us right now on the road," Gulutzan said of Bunting, 30.
As for Myers, 36, the Dallas coach said, "Yeah, same thing. Some banged-up people. When you're playing this many games against, you know, quality teams like Philly and teams like especially out east that are in a dogfight every night, you know, we're getting these hard, heavy games, and yeah, we just got to keep moving."

Gulutzan also addressed the loss in general terms, noting that the team reached 100 points but acknowledging that the squad looked tired.
"I mean, it's a process. It's really hard to get there. You know, 100 points is not something you take lightly in the league, and you know, tonight was a hard game," he said.
"It's just kind of symbolic of how hard it is to get here. But, you know, they're playing hard. I thought it was a real stingy contest. I think both teams looked pretty tired too, and yeah, I thought it was a pretty even affair, and you know, they got the extra point, so, you know, we'll just move on."
On Arttu Hyry scoring his first NHL goal, Gulutzan said he will score many more in the league and that it was only a matter of time before the first one came.
"He scored a lot in the AHL, so it's not a surprise, but it's good to get the first one in the NHL. You get it off your back, and you know, it was a big goal for us. I mean, we got us a point, and it was a big league shot. I thought it was a great shot, and you can shoot the puck. He's gonna score more goals in this league."
