Dave Strader will be seen and heard by a national audience next weekend.
The resilient play-by-play man was already planning to call the Dallas Stars' game against the Boston Bruins next Sunday, but it will now be shown on NBC and he'll call it with his Stars broadcast partner, Daryl Reaugh, the club announced.
Strader was diagnosed with cancer last June and underwent months of treatment before returning to the booth for his first game of the season Saturday night.

The veteran broadcaster was scheduled to call the Stars' entire five-game homestand, which began with Saturday's overtime victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The home side gave him a touching tribute after the game.

Strader was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive form of bile duct cancer.
Dallas is now on its bye week, but the Stars will be back in action Friday against the Arizona Coyotes, followed by next Sunday's nationally televised contest against the Bruins. They'll battle the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, then conclude the homestand against the New York Islanders on March 2.
Strader will return to upstate New York to continue his treatment at the conclusion of the homestand, according to the Stars.
