Available against Knights Faksa (undisclosed) will be an option for Friday's Game 6 matchup with Vegas, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Even with Faksa cleared to play, he is far from a lock to take a spot in the lineup from Ty Dellandrea or Craig Smith. If the 30-year-old Faksa does suit up, it figures to be in a bottom-six role where he figures to offer mid-range fantasy value, at best, given his limited offensive upside.

Impact Faksa was a game-time call for each of the previous two contests but didn't suit up in either, so he is far from a lock to play in Game 5. The Czech center is pointless in his last eight appearances while registering 11 shots, 19 hits and one block. Even if cleared to play versus Vegas, Faksa figures to remain in a bottom-six role, limiting his overall fantasy value.

Impact Faksa is pointless in eight straight games, including the Stars' two postseason clashes. As such, it's possible the 30-year-old forward found himself dropped from the lineup regardless considering the Stars are facing a 2-0 series deficit. Ty Dellandrea could see his first minutes since April 6 against Chicago if Faksa is officially ruled out Saturday.

The 30-year-old forward has six goals, eight assists, 52 shots on net, 74 hits and 36 blocked shots over 58 appearances. He's been an occasional healthy scratch this season, but Faksa will be hard to remove from the lineup if he keeps scoring.

Impact Faksa snapped an 11-game point drought with his second-period tally on a rebound. The 30-year-old forward has maintained his usual defense-first role in a fourth-line spot this season, so it's no surprise he's struggled to put up points. He's at four goals, eight assists, 49 shots on net, 66 hits, 34 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 55 appearances, so he doesn't need to be tracked closely in fantasy.

The fourth-liner is at 11 points, 36 shots, 31 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 43 contests overall, so he can likely be left on the wire in fantasy.

Impact Faksa helped out on a Jason Robertson tally in the second period. The assist was Faksa's fourth point over the last eight contests, which constitutes an improvement from the fourth-liner. He's at 10 points, 34 shots on net, 29 hits and 20 blocked shots through 39 outings overall, so he's likely not doing enough anywhere to help much in fantasy.
