Bunting (lower body) isn't expected to be return to the lineup in the near future, per Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports on Tuesday.

After getting hurt in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to Philadelphia, Bunting will miss at least 10 days and might not be available to play before the end of the regular season. Since being acquired from Nashville on March 5, he has one goal, one assist, 13 shots on net and seven hits in 11 appearances with Dallas.

Head coach Glen Gulutzan said Tuesday that an optimistic outlook for Bastian's (hand) return to the lineup would be within the next 10 days, according to Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports.

Gulutzan's comments don't sound overly promising that Bastian will return during the regular season, but the 28-year-old's injury doesn't appear to be a long-term concern. The Stars have eight regular-season games remaining on their schedule before they attempt to take home the Stanley Cup in the 2026 postseason.

Mangiapane (upper body) should be able to return to the lineup before the conclusion of the 2025-26 regular season, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Tuesday.

Mangiapane has missed the last six games as a result of an injury he suffered in Minnesota on March 19. Considering the Blackhawks are all but eliminated from postseason contention, there will be no reason to rush Mangiapane back into the lineup, but it appears as if his season isn't over yet.

Hellebuyck is expected to start in Chicago on Tuesday, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

Hellebuyck helped keep the Jets' playoff hopes alive Saturday in Colorado, stopping 21 of 23 shots in a 4-2 victory. The veteran netminder endured a rough stretch in mid-March, but Hellebuyck has played well lately, going 2-1-0 with a .929 save percentage and a 2.00 GAA over his last three starts. This will be the Michigan native's fourth start against the Blackhawks this season -- he most recently made 17 saves on 19 shots against them in Winnipeg on March 3.

Myers suffered an undisclosed injury that will sideline him versus the Bruins on Tuesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Myers has underwhelmed offensively since joining the Stars, posting just two points in 11 outings. His absence from the lineup figures to have a minimal impact on fantasy managers but should open up more minutes for Lian Bichsel and Ilya Lyubushkin.

Bunting (lower body) won't play against Boston on Tuesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Bunting will miss at least one game after getting injured in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to Philadelphia. He has accounted for 14 goals, 33 points, 121 shots on net and 42 hits in 72 games between Dallas and Nashville this season. Cameron Hughes will replace Bunting in Tuesday's lineup against the Bruins.

Oettinger will tend the twine on the road against Boston on Tuesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Oettinger has featured in eight of the Stars' last 11 contests, posting a 5-1-1 record, 2.29 GAA and .911 save percentage. Once Dallas' spot in the playoffs becomes a little clearer, the team could decide to give Casey DeSmith some extra work heading into the stretch run in order to keep Oettinger healthy for the playoffs.

Grzelcyk (upper body) will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 regular season, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday.

Grzelcyk hasn't played since March 22 against Nashville because of the injury. He will conclude the campaign with 12 assists, 68 shots on goal, 54 blocked shots and 28 hits across 69 appearances. The 32-year-old blueliner will be eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer.

Levshunov (hand) will not play again in 2025-26, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday.

Levshunov sustained a fracture in his left hand against the Islanders last week and played through the injury for a few games. The 20-year-old defenseman will now turn his attention to recovering and getting ready for the 2026-27 campaign, but it currently remains to be seen if Levshunov will undergo surgery to address his hand fracture.

Ingram will protect the home net against Seattle on Tuesday, according to Mark Spector of Sportsnet.

Ingram has emerged victorious in his past two outings while making 57 saves on 62 shots. He has gone 13-8-2 with one shutout, a 2.80 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 26 NHL appearances this campaign. Seattle sits 23rd in the league this season with 2.85 goals per game.
