Jason Spezza is a surprise omission from the Dallas Stars' lineup Monday.
He is a healthy scratch for the Stars' matinee game against the Boston Bruins.
The Stars didn't go into detail as far as the reasoning behind the move, simply calling it a "coach's decision."
Spezza centered Dallas' fourth line at practice Sunday. The veteran forward has one point in his last seven games, and his ice time has dwindled recently.
He's carrying a $7.5-million cap this season and next, according to CapFriendly.
