Marco Sturm says Pavel Zacha and Nikita Zadorov will both play tonight when the Bruins visit the Stars.
Jonathan Aspirot and Sean Kuraly are out, according to Adam Pellerin of NESN.
Jeremy Swayman gets the start in net for Boston.
Zacha had been listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury before getting the green light.
Good news for Boston, but tonight is a real test. This is the toughest goalie matchup of the entire road trip.
Getting two regulars back before a road finale is like finding your passport the night before the flight.
Zacha has 5 points on a $4,750,000 cap hit, including a game-winner.

Jeremy Swayman faces Jake Oettinger as Bruins chase sixth straight win
Swayman sits at .934 with a shutout this season, and he has won six of his seven appearances.
Oettinger is at .952 with 3 shutouts for Dallas.
The Stars have scored just 20 goals, so they lean heavily on their goalie.
Boston has won five straight and sits at 7-2-0.
The Bruins won 4-1 in Los Angeles on Saturday, and tonight is the final stop of the trip.
Boston has scored 34 goals and allowed just 19.
David Pastrnak leads the team with 12 points, including 3 power-play goals.
Zadorov has 3 assists on a $5,000,000 cap hit.
Charlie McAvoy has dressed only three times this season.
Aspirot and Kuraly have both dressed four times without a point.
Dallas is 4-3-1 and has allowed just 13 goals in eight games.
The Stars are only 1-2-0 at home, though Glen Gulutzan's group has won two straight.
Mikko Rantanen leads Dallas with 8 points through eight games.
The Stars are also without Oskar Bäck, who broke his finger, and Elliotte Friedman reported last week that David Perron is set to join them.
Can Boston solve a goalie who has given up almost nothing lately?
The Bruins return home to host Nashville on Thursday night.
Boston has its bodies back. Now it has to find a way past Oettinger, and that's been a tall order for everyone.
Will the Bruins extend their win streak to six games in Dallas?
