Kero has cleared waivers and has been sent to the Texas Stars of the AHL, per the Dallas Stars website. - Kero was shuffled between the NHL and AHL last season and the same scenario is likely to happen again this season. He had three assists in 23 games with Dallas last season while chipping in with five goals and 17 points in 28 AHL games. |

Kero was waived by the Stars on Friday, per CapFriendly. - Kero cleared waivers twice last season as he split time between Dallas and AHL Texas. The 30-year-old forward has 35 points in 134 career NHL appearances. He could make an interesting depth option for several teams and he'll likely return to Dallas at some point during the regular season if he clears waivers again. |

Kero was waived by the Stars on Thursday. - Kero has managed just three points in 23 games this season while frequently serving as a healthy scratch. He'll likely be assigned to AHL Texas if he passes through waivers unclaimed. |

Kero was a healthy scratch for Friday's game versus the Blackhawks. - Kero played in the last three games while Radek Faksa (lower body) was on the mend. With Faksa back, Kero exited the lineup, and he may have a tough time getting back in. With just three assists, 14 shots on net and a minus-5 rating in 23 games, the 29-year-old forward hasn't shown that he belongs in the lineup over younger options like Joel Kiviranta or Jacob Peterson, the latter of whom scored the shootout winner in Friday's 1-0 win. |

Kero registered an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames. - Kero helped out on Joel Hanley's first NHL goal in the first period. The 29-year-old Kero has only seen a part-time role this year, but he still hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since Nov. 2. The winger is at three helpers, 11 shots on net and a minus-5 rating in 20 contests -- his presence on the Stars' fourth line will make him a non-factor in fantasy. |

Kero departed the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Monday, per Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio. - Kero has missed the last three Stars' games while in the virus protocols. The 29-year-old has generated two points during an average 9:34 of ice time over 15 appearances this season. |

Kero entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Monday. - Kero has averaged 9:26 of ice time and been held without a point over his last three appearances. He recently returned from the NHL's concussion protocols last Tuesday. The 29-year-old is likely to miss Tuesday's contest against Montreal. |
None |

Kero (concussion) was given the green light to return to play Tuesday, per Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio. - Kero stated he expects to play in Wednesday's contest with Seattle, Levine adds. The 29-year-old averaged 10:27 of ice time and logged two points through his 11 appearances prior to the contest he exited early with a concussion on Dec. 18. |

Kero (concussion) won't be in the lineup against Florida on Thursday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports and has been designated for IR per the NHL media site. - The fact that Kero was flipped to injured reserve to make way for Joel Kiviranta is likely an indication Kero won't be back any time soon. As such, fantasy players should probably consider the 29-year-old winger out indefinitely. Even once cleared to play, Kero is far from a lock for the lineup and may have to serve as a healthy scratch from time to time. |

Kero has entered the league's concussion protocols, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports, and should be considered out indefinitely. - Kero -- who was taken off the ice on a stretcher during Saturday's clash with Chicago -- should probably be expected to miss at least the team's next three outings. Even once cleared to play, the Michigan native is far from a lock for the lineup and may have to settle for a spot in the press box from time to time. |

Kero was stretchered off the ice after suffering an upper-body injury in Saturday's game versus the Blackhawks, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports. - Kero was leveled on a high hit by Brett Connolly near the boards early in the first period, which left Kero motionless on the ice. It's safe to assume he won't return to the contest, and he'll undergo further medical evaluations to determine the extent of his injury. Per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, Kero was conscious and responsive en route to the hospital. An update on Kero's status should surface in the coming days. |

The Stars recalled Kero from AHL Texas on Sunday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports. - Kero played seven games and tallied a pair of assists before being waived Nov. 11 and joining the AHL affiliate. Now, the 29-year-old rejoins the Stars to presumably serve as a bottom-line forward, if anything. |

Kero was waived by Dallas on Thursday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports. - Kero has sat as a healthy scratch for five of the Stars' last six games, so this move doesn't necessarily come as a surprise. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, Kero will presumably report to AHL Texas. |
