Back's shift to long-term injured reserve was done in tandem with Esa Lindell's retroactive placement on IR. The 26-year-old Back sustained his finger injury during the Stars' clash with the Avalanche on Oct. 14. Prior to going down, the center had posted an assist, two PIM, four shots on net, five hits and nine blocked shots over seven outings. In his absence, Colin Blackwell should continue to see a consistent role.
