Dallas Stars forward Mason Marchment will return to the lineup on Thursday for Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinal series against the visiting Colorado Avalanche.

Radek Faksa will sit out in place of Marchment, who has missed the last six games with an undisclosed injury.

Marchment, 28, recorded career-high totals in goals (22), assists (31) and points (53) in 81 games during the regular season. He also scored a goal in Dallas' 4-3 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 1 of the first round.

"It's going to be fun," Marchment said. "I can't wait. It's another challenge that I'm kind of looking forward to. The boys have been playing great. I just hope to come in and bring some energy and help the boys out a little bit, as much as I can."

The Stars let an early three-goal lead go by the boards in a 4-3 overtime loss to Colorado in the opener of the best-of-seven series.
