Stars veteran center Joe Pavelski was not at the arena for a team meeting Tuesday, and his status for Game 2 and beyond against the Wild was uncertain after a massive hit that took him out of the series-opening loss midway through the second period.

When asked if Pavelski, 38, was in concussion protocol, coach Peter DeBoer responded, “I don’t have anything like that yet.”

Pavelski hit his head on the ice after the crushing blow from defenseman Matt Dumba to the side of the Wild net Monday night. Officials initially announced a five-minute major penalty before that was changed to a two-minute minor for roughing after a video review. The Stars center remained on the ice for some time, during which teammate Max Domi fought Dumba.

The Stars lost the Western Conference playoff series opener 3-2.

Game 2 is Wednesday night in Dallas.
