Stars' Justin Hryckowian: Returned to Texas
Hryckowian was reassigned to AHL Texas on Saturday.
Hryckowian has been a healthy scratch in three NHL games during his call-ups with Dallas and hasn't made his NHL debut yet. He has nine goals and 23 points in 25 AHL outings this season.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Grabs helper Friday
Lundkvist managed an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.
Lundkvist returned after shaking off an illness that had cost him two of the last three games. The 24-year-old Lundkvist took line rushes on the top pairing but was in his usual bottom-four role once the puck dropped. He earned his second assist in his last four outings and now has three helpers through 24 contests this season. He's added 33 shots on net, 16 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating. Lundkvist isn't seeing enough power-play time or producing enough offense to be an impact player in fantasy.

Stars' Jason Robertson: Plucks apple in loss
Robertson logged an assist and five shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.
Robertson has two goals and seven assists over 10 outings in December. It's already his most productive month of the season, and perhaps a sign that the 25-year-old winger is turning things around after a middling start to 2024-25. He has 22 points, 77 shots, 21 hits and a plus-1 rating over 32 contests so far, and his spot on the top line hasn't been at risk.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Deposits goal in loss
Hintz scored a goal on five shots and added two PIM in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.
Hintz is getting into a groove with four goals and an assist over his last six contests. He's been fine on offense this year, but not outstanding due to the struggles of Jason Robertson and the rotating cast of right wings on the Stars' top line. Hintz has 14 goals, 20 points, 76 shots on net, 23 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 31 appearances.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Slips up against Rangers
Oettinger permitted two goals on 29 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Oettinger took his fifth loss in his last eight outings, though this one wasn't his fault. The Rangers got to him twice in the first period after Roope Hintz opened the scoring, but the Stars failed to pull even over the final 40 minutes. Oettinger is down to 16-9-0 with a 2.42 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 25 appearances. The Stars' last game before the holiday break is on the road Monday against a red-hot Utah team, so Oettinger may be a bit of a risky fantasy play for that matchup.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Suiting up Friday
Lundkvist will play Friday versus the Rangers, per the NHL media site.
Lundkvist has missed two of the previous three games due to the illness. He took line rushes alongside Miro Heiskanen, but Lundkvist has typically seen bottom-four minutes this season, so it's unclear how much usage he'll get in this contest.

Stars' Thomas Harley: In lineup Friday
Harley (illness) will play Friday versus the Rangers, per the NHL media site.
Harley's status came down to a true game-time decision, but he'll suit up after missing two contests. The 23-year-old is projected to play on the third pairing, indicating he'll be eased back into action after being under the weather.

Stars' Mason Marchment: Good to go Friday
Marchment (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Rangers, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.
Marchment exited Wednesday's game versus the Maple Leafs but looks ready to play without missing additional time. He'll be on a revamped second line, as Evgenii Dadonov was promoted to play alongside Marchment and Matt Duchene. Marchment has gone four games without a point entering Friday.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Remains game-time call
Lundkvist (illness) will be a game-time decision heading into Friday's clash with the Rangers, Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.
Lundkvist is still trying to work his way back into the lineup after coming down with the flu, a problem also hampering fellow blueliner Thomas Harley. If either of the two defensemen can't play versus New York, Lian Bichsel is set to step into the lineup. For his part, Lundkvist has managed just two points across 23 games this year, so fantasy managers probably aren't overly concerned about his availability.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Game-time call against Friday
Harley (illness) will once again be a game-time decision ahead of Friday's matchup with the Rangers, Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.
The flu bug continues to hamper the Stars, with both Harley and Nils Lundkvist still in doubt Friday as a result. Lian Bichsel is the only spare blueliner for Dallas, which means the team is likely expecting either Harley or Lundkvist to play, otherwise the Stars might have to roll with just five defensemen.

Stars' Mason Marchment: Deemed game-time call
Marchment (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Rangers, Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.
Marchment exited Wednesday's game against Toronto in the third period due to an unspecified injury, and he recently underwent X-rays that came back negative. He was on the ice for the Stars' optional morning skate Friday but is still feeling sore, so the team will wait to see how he feels ahead of puck drop before determining his status. Justin Hryckowian could enter the lineup if Marchment is unable to suit up.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Gets starting nod Friday
Oettinger will be between the pipes for Friday's home game against the Rangers, Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.
Oettinger will jump right back into the crease after getting the hook against the Leafs on Wednesday. The matchup Friday will be the netminder's eighth straight appearance, and he's posted a 3-4-0 record and 2.57 GAA in his last seven outings. While Oettinger hasn't been his usual dominant self, he clearly is going to be given time to work through any issues, leaving Casey DeSmith to feature primarily during back-to-backs.

Stars' Lian Bichsel: Called back up
Bichsel was recalled from AHL Texas on Friday.
Bichsel was sent to the AHL on Thursday, but he'll rejoin the NHL club a day later. The 20-year-old has made four appearances for Dallas across the past week, racking up two goals and 13 hits while averaging 15:24 of ice time. Bichsel should have a chance to suit up Friday against the Rangers if Thomas Harley (illness) or Nils Lundkvist (illness) is unavailable.

Stars' Justin Hryckowian: Recalled by Dallas
Hryckowian was recalled from AHL Texas on Friday.
Hryckowian also had a brief stint with Dallas at the beginning of December, but he didn't make his NHL debut while spending approximately 24 hours with the club. It's unlikely whether he'll enter the lineup at some point after being recalled Friday, but even if he does, he'll likely be limited to a bottom-six role.

Stars' Oskar Back: Picks up assist
Back notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Back has four helpers over his last six contests. It's one of his best runs so far, but the 24-year-old forward remains in a fourth-line role and isn't expected to be a big contributor on offense. He's at eight points, 16 shots on goal, 12 hits and a plus-4 rating through 26 appearances.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Adds helper in loss
Heiskanen produced an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Heiskanen has seen even heavier minutes than usual as the Stars deal with a flu bug going through the locker room. It has impacted Thomas Harley and Nils Lundkvist in particular, with Heiskanen seeing a season-high 29:50 of ice time Wednesday with both of those defensemen, plus Matt Dumba (upper body), sidelined. Heiskanen has nine points over his last 13 games and a total of 15 points, 70 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 31 appearances this season.

Stars' Logan Stankoven: Contributes assist in loss
Stankoven notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Stankoven ended a five-game slump with the helper. The 21-year-old forward continues to get a look on the second line with Tyler Seguin (hip) likely out for the remainder of the regular season. Stankoven has yet to really mesh with Matt Duchene and Mason Marchment, and the latter left Wednesday's game with an undisclosed injury. Stankoven is at 17 points, 78 shots on net, 20 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 29 outings. His recent slump has seen him drift back to fifth in the rookie scoring race.

Stars' Colin Blackwell: Nets goal Wednesday
Blackwell scored a goal on six shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Blackwell scored for the first time since Nov. 27, and he had just one assist over nine contests between goals. The 31-year-old has emerged as a regular on the Stars' fourth line, but he hasn't brought much in the way of offense. The veteran forward has seven points, 31 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-2 rating over 26 appearances.
