The Dallas Stars activated forward Mikko Rantanen off injured reserve ahead of Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the team announced.
Rantanen suffered a lower-body injury at the Olympics while representing Finland and has missed Dallas' last 15 games. He last suited up with the Stars on Feb. 4.
The 29-year-old still ranks third on the team with 69 points this season despite playing just 54 games.
The Stars have posted a 9-4-2 record since the Olympic break, although they've lost their last four contests.
