DALLAS – Dallas Stars center Mike Modano injured his left ankle 52 seconds into the second period of Friday night's 4-2 playoff loss to St. Louis and did not return.

Stars coach Ken Hitchcock said Modano, who left the arena with a cast on his ankle, will have an MRI on Saturday. It's not yet known whether he'll play in Game 2 of the series Sunday night.

"We'll evaluate it tomorrow and give you a complete update after practice," Hitchcock said.

Modano knocked legs with Alexei Gusarov after taking a two-line pass at center ice. Play was stopped for the infraction and Modano scooted to the bench, then to the locker room with the aid of a trainer. He was not putting any pressure on the left leg.

Dallas trailed 2-1 at the time.

Modano, who is already playing with a nose injury that required 35 stitches, leads Dallas with team highs of three goals and five points this postseason.
