Stars' Mason Marchment: Game-time decision Saturday
Marchment (undisclosed) partook in practice Friday and will be a game-time decision in Winnipeg on Saturday, Brian Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.
Marchment sat out Thursday against the Blackhawks. The 29-year-old winger has not scored in 10 straight games after opening the season with a pair of goals in Washington. Marchment has eight points in 11 games, including a goal and two helpers on the power play this season.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Generates assist
Lyubushkin logged an assist, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Lyubushkin has found some offense in November, posting three assists over his last three contests. The defenseman did not get on the scoresheet over nine games in October. That's not unusual -- he brings a physical element to the Stars' blue line, with little offense to add. He's recorded six shots on net, four PIM, 15 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 12 appearances in a bottom-four role.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Grabs helper in win
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' Esa Lindell: Pockets helper in win
Lindell posted an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Lindell remains warm on offense -- he has four points over his last four games, though that span dates back to Oct. 26 since the Stars were part of the NHL Global Series in Finland. The 30-year-old defenseman had not recorded a point in his first eight outings this season. He is up to 18 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 11 hits and a plus-3 rating through 12 appearances in a top-four role.

Stars' Jamie Benn: Dominant at faceoff dot
Benn logged an assist, fired six shots on goal, levied three hits and won all 16 of his faceoffs in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
That level of dominance in the faceoff circle is extremely rare, and it's all the more impressive since it was just the third time in 12 games Benn has taken 10 or more draws. He often functions as a winger on the Stars' third line as well as playing on the power play. The forward has two goals and two assists over his last five games as he tries to bounce back from a quiet start to the campaign. Overall, he has six points, 22 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-2 rating.

Stars' Tyler Seguin: Scores game-winner Thursday
Seguin scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Seguin's goal midway through the second period ended up being the game-winner. The 32-year-old was hampered by a lower-body injury during the Stars' trip to Finland, with the injury particularly flaring up in the second half of back-to-back sets. As such, don't expect Seguin to play in every game the rest of the way, though he should have a good stretch of availability ahead as long as the issue doesn't get worse -- the Stars' next back-to-back is at the start of December, but it's the only one they have for the remainder of the calendar year. Through eight outings, Seguin has produced six goals, four assists, 14 shots on net and a plus-9 rating while filling a second-line role when healthy enough to play.

Stars' Sam Steel: Pair of points in win
Steel scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Steel opened the scoring at 11:06 of the first period and helped out on Tyler Seguin's tally midway through the second. The 26-year-old Steel filled in on the second line due to Mason Marchment's (undisclosed) absence Thursday. Steel has five points, 16 shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-2 rating over 11 appearances. He may have some streaming appeal in fantasy as long as he's on the second line, though that won't be the case with the Stars facing the Jets on Saturday.

Stars' Logan Stankoven: Two points in Thursday's win
Stankoven scored an empty-net goal on six shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Stankoven earned his third multi-point effort of the campaign in this contest. The 21-year-old was once again on the third line, but he's been productive despite frequently moving around the lineup. He's up to two goals, 10 helpers, 33 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 12 appearances, and that's with a 6.1 shooting percentage that is likely well below his talent level.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Plays well in win
Oettinger stopped 25 of 26 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
The Stars controlled the game fairly well, and Oettinger was able to put in a good performance with the shots he faced. Only a Tyler Bertuzzi power-play tally in the third period spoiled the shutout bid. Oettinger has now alternated wins and losses over his last five outings, allowing a total of 13 goals in that span. For the season, he's at a 6-2-0 record, a 2.26 GAA and a .922 save percentage over eight starts. The Stars have their biggest test of the season up next when they visit Winnipeg on Saturday.

Stars' Tyler Seguin: Expected to play Thursday
Seguin (lower body) is expected to play Thursday against Chicago, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.
Seguin was unavailable Saturday against the Panthers due to a lower-body injury, and he may be dealing with the lingering issue for most of the year. However, he practiced Tuesday and should be able to return to game action Thursday. Seguin's injury will likely impact his availability in back-to-back sets, which the Stars don't play in until the start of December. While the team's medical staff will likely continue to monitor Seguin's health, it's encouraging that he'll be able to play through his ailment for now.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: In goal Thursday
Oettinger will defend the home crease versus Chicago on Thursday, Brian Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.
Oettinger is 5-2-0 with a 2.44 GAA and a .917 save percentage after his worst performance of the campaign -- allowing six goals on 28 shots in a 6-4 loss to the Panthers in Finland on Friday. He will get a chance to redeem himself, as the Blackhawks are not a high-scoring team, averaging only 2.64 goals per game.

Stars' Mason Marchment: Is day-to-day
Marchment is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News on Wednesday.
Marchment has two goals and eight points in 11 outings with Dallas in 2024-25. If he can't play Thursday versus Chicago, then Oskar Back will likely remain in the lineup. Back might otherwise be a healthy scratch because Tyler Seguin (lower body) is projected to return Thursday after missing Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Florida.

Seguin could be ready to return as early as Thursday versus Chicago after missing Saturday's 4-2 loss to Florida. He has five goals, nine points and 11 shots on net through seven outings this season.
