The Dallas Stars strengthened their lineup in advance of Wednesday's tilt with the Calgary Flames, activating forward Mike Modano and right winger Jere Lehtinen from injured reserve.

Modano, the highest scoring American-born player in league history, has been out since suffering a rib injury in Dallas' season-opening loss against Nashville.

Injuries, meanwhile, have limited Lehtinen to only two games this season. The Finn missed the first three games of the 2009-10 campaign with a groin ailment and the last nine because of abdominal soreness.
