Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Traveling with team
Lundkvist (lower body) will be with the 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' Oskar Back: Posts assist in win
Back logged an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Back has three points over his last four games. The 24-year-old has received a steady run of playing time in a stretch where Colin Blackwell and Mavrik Bourque have been healthy scratches. Back is likely to peak at the fourth line. He has four points, 10 shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating through 13 appearances this season.

Stars' Matt Dumba: First point since return
Dumba logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Dumba has been back for nearly a month since he missed four games with a lower-body injury, and this was his first point over 10 outings in that span. He didn't get on the scoresheet in either of his first two appearances, and the lack of offense saw him spend two games as a healthy scratch last week. Dumba has added 20 hits, 17 PIM, 12 blocked shots, 12 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 12 contests this season, playing mainly in a bottom-four role. He could have some safety for playing time if Nils Lundkvist (lower body) misses time after exiting early Wednesday.

Stars' Jamie Benn: Nets game-winner
Benn scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Benn put an end to a seven-game goal drought, a span in which he had four assists, 28 PIM, 15 shots on net and 12 hits. The 35-year-old forward is still offering steady depth offense and a bit of grit from a third-line role this season. He's up to 10 points, 38 PIM, 29 hits, 32 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 18 appearances.

Stars' Jason Robertson: Three points vs. San Jose
Robertson had a goal and two assists in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Robertson was Dallas' best player by a wide margin in this solid win Wednesday. The star winger ended a nine-game slump when he gave the Stars a 1-0 lead at 15:33 of the first period, scoring off a spin move at the top of the left face-off circle, and then he'd add helpers in the goals scored by Wyatt Johnston and Roope Hintz. This was Robertson's second multi-point outing of the season, and he needs to start producing at a better rate to live up to his ADP in most formats.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Scores, assists in win over Sharks
Johnston had a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Johnston enjoyed an excellent start to the season and cracked the scoresheet in his first five appearances, but he's cooled off since then. This was his first multi-point outing of the campaign, and excluding that five-game stretch at the beginning of the season, he only has four points (two goals, two assists) in 13 contests. Given that Johnston had 65 points in 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24, this is not the kind of start neither he nor fantasy managers were hoping for.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Scores in win over San Jose
Hintz scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Hintz, who scored one of the Stars' two empty-netters in this game, has scored seven goals and tallied 12 points in his 18 appearances this season. However, he hasn't been very consistent on a game-to-game basis. Even though his role in the lineup will give the 28-year-old plenty of opportunities to produce, his current haul has been subpar compared to the numbers he's posted in recent years.

Stars' Evgenii Dadonov: Scores empty-netter Wednesday
Dadonov scored an empty-net goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Dadonov closed out the scoring for the Stars with 54 seconds left in the third period. The Russian winger has struggled with consistency, posting four goals across his last six appearances but also going pointless three times in that span. His production is trending in the right direction, but the lack of consistency limits his upside in most formats.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Solid in win over Sharks
Oettinger stopped 21 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Oettinger returned to the lineup after resting in the 4-2 loss to the Ducks on Monday, and the star goaltender was excellent between the pipes in a game that turned out to be more complicated than expected. Oettinger has been on a tear of late and has won each of his last four starts, posting a 1.50 GAA and a .935 save percentage in that span. He's cemented his place as one of the elite goaltenders in the league.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Sustains injury
Lundkvist won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Sharks due to a lower-body injury.
Lundkvist was injured in the second period, leaving the Stars to finish Wednesday's contest with five blueliners. The 24-year-old defenseman should be considered day-to-day for now. If he can't play Saturday versus the Lightning, Brendan Smith will likely rejoin the lineup. If the injury is significant, the Stars may call up a blueliner to replace Lundkvist.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Set to start Wednesday
Oettinger is expected to start at home against San Jose on Wednesday, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.
Oettinger has won his past three starts while allowing just four goals on 69 shots (.942 save percentage). He had a down campaign in 2023-24 with a 2.72 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 54 regular-season outings, but Oettinger is enjoying a resurgent season, posting a 9-3-0 record, 2.27 GAA and .917 save percentage through 12 appearances. San Jose, which ranks 28th offensively with 2.50 goals per game, figures to be a favorable matchup for Oettinger.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Puts up helper in loss
Bourque recorded an assist and a team-high five shots on goal in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.
Bourque has been scratched a couple of times this season, though that's just part of the process for a rookie that's trying to find his game at the NHL level. The 22-year-old has been limited to three points, 12 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while averaging 11:07 of ice time over 12 contests. Bourque's offense is likely to be limited in a fourth-line role with minimal power-play time, so his fantasy value is lower in redraft leagues than it is in dynasty.

Stars' Jamie Benn: Logs assist in loss
Benn notched an assist and two hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.
Benn is in a seven-game goal drought, but he has four assists, 28 PIM and 12 hits in that span. The 35-year-old had another excellent game at the faceoff dot as well, winning 10 of 11 draws. He's taken 141 faceoffs this season, winning 92 of them for a 65.2 percent success rate. While he doesn't have a ton of volume at the dot, he can help in fantasy formats that count the stat since he's primarily played left wing instead of center. Benn has added nine points, 28 shots on net, 28 hits and 38 PIM over 17 appearances.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Gives up four goals Monday
DeSmith stopped 23 of 27 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.
DeSmith made his first start since Nov. 2 and had a disappointing performance, allowing a season-high mark in goals and posting his worst save percentage of any game in 2024-25. In six outings this season, DeSmith has gone 2-3-0 with a 2.22 GAA and a .914 save percentage, but he's not expected to see many opportunities as the backup of Jake Oettinger.

Stars' Esa Lindell: Nets goal in loss Monday
Lindell scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.
Lindell didn't open his points tally until Oct. 26, when he recorded an assist in a 4-2 win over Chicago, but he's been very consistent since then. Across his last nine games, the 30-year-old veteran has two goals and six assists, as well as 14 shots, five blocks and 11 blocked shots. Lindell is expected to remain in the Stars' top defensive pairing alongside Miro Heiskanen, especially if he continues to produce as he has over the last three weeks.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Finds twine Monday
Duchene scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.
The Stars came up short Monday, but Duchene extended his impressive run of play with another goal. He's cracked the scoresheet in five of his eight appearances this month, a span where he's racked up 10 points (four goals, six assists), 16 shots, five hits and two blocked shots. Notably, three of those six assists have come in the power play.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Gets starting nod Monday
DeSmith will be between the pipes at home versus Anaheim on Monday, Brian Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.
DeSmith will get the surprise start after No. 1 Jake Oettinger was working in the starter's crease at Monday's game-day skate. It's the first start for the 33-year-old DeSmith since Nov. 2 against the Panthers, with his only other appearance during November having come in relief. On the year, DeSmith is 2-2-1 while sporting a career-best 1.79 GAA, but he shouldn't be expected to see a ton of opportunities this year behind the workhorse Oettinger.
