It could be a costly Friday night in Dallas.

Stars defenseman John Klingberg sustained a lower-body injury against the New Jersey Devils, playing only 1:25 over two shifts before being ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Klingberg is third in scoring on the high-powered Stars, with 10 goals and 43 assists in 65 games. He averages 23:14 in ice time and has a 55.5 Corsi For rating.

Turning 24 in August, Klingberg is signed through 2019-20 at an affordable salary-cap hit of $4.25 million. He was surprisingly left off Sweden's initial World Cup of Hockey roster, but should be the country's seventh defenseman at the tournament in Toronto.
