Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Traveling with team
Nils Lundkvist (lower body) will be with the Dallas Stars for their three-game road trip and is considered day-to-day, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports Friday.Lundkvist was back in the lineup against the Sharks on Wednesday after having spent two games in the press box as a healthy scratch, only to suffer a lower-body injury after logging just 6:38 of ice time. As such, even if the blueliner is given the all-clear ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Lightning, he could still be scratched in favor of Brendan Smith.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Grabs helper in win
Nils Lundkvist notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.Lundkvist got on the scoresheet for the first time this season just one game after his first healthy scratch. The 24-year-old has held a spot in the lineup over Brendan Smith for the most part. Lundkvist has contributed 12 shots on net, 11 hits, eight blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-2 rating through 11 appearances. He'll remain in a bottom-four role with minimal power-play time, so Lundkvist would have to up his production across the board to be an option for most fantasy managers despite his steady playing time.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Agrees to one-year deal
Nils Lundkvist signed a one-year, $1.25 million contract with the Dallas Stars on Monday.Lundkvist had two goals and 19 points in 59 regular-season games in 2023-24.
