Top Stars News

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Poised to play Wednesday

    Lundkvist (illness) will return to the lineup against Buffalo on Wednesday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

    Following a three-game absence, Lundkvist will play in the Stars' regular-season finale. He has produced three goals, 11 points, 46 shots on net, 47 blocked shots and 26 hits across 51 appearances this campaign.

  • Stars' Alex Petrovic: Posts helper in win

    Petrovic notched an assist and three hits in Monday's 6-5 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Petrovic has played in three of the last five games. The 34-year-old has been called upon in the absences of Miro Heiskanen (lower body) and Nils Lundkvist (illness). If the Stars' blue line is at full health in the postseason, Petrovic will likely be no more than a part-time option, but as a steady veteran on the third pairing, he may get looks as a change-of-pace player. He has contributed 10 points, 57 shots on net, 88 hits, 77 blocked shots and 47 PIM over 54 appearances this season.

  • Stars' Arttu Hyry: Nets equalizer Monday

    Hyry scored a goal and added two PIM in Monday's 6-5 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Hyry tied the game at 9:38 of the third period, knotting the score at 5-5. The 25-year-old has three goals and an assist over his last eight contests while filling in as a bottom-six option. He's played in that role since the Olympic break, compiling a total of five points, 24 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-1 rating over 20 appearances. Hyry will likely slip out of the lineup if the Stars are able to have most or all of their preferred options available for Game 1 of the playoffs.

  • Stars' Casey DeSmith: Snaps five-game losing streak

    DeSmith made 22 saves on 27 shots in a 6-5 win over Toronto on Monday.

    The game was a see-saw affair, with the Maple Leafs up 3-0 heading into the first intermission and 5-2 early in the third after two goals in a 2:39 span early in the final frame. DeSmith ended a personal five-game losing streak (0-4-1). Dallas plays in Buffalo on Wednesday, and Jake Oettinger could get a rest heading into the postseason. That means DeSmith would be the first man off the ice at the game-day skate.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Game grows from great to elite

    Johnston scored a goal in Monday's 6-5 win over Toronto.

    Johnston has had an outstanding season -- the goal was his 45th snipe and 86th point of the year (81 games). Johnston is on a four-game, six-point scoring streak. It includes four goals and two assists (13 shots). He's the top scorer from the 2021 Entry Draft. Johnston has 134 goals, 129 assists (263 points) in 327 games. Not bad for the 23rd overall pick.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Stars' Matt Duchene: Five assists in last two games

    Duchene picked up three assists in a 6-5 win over Toronto on Monday.

    Duchene has five assists in his last two games and 45 points (16 goals, 29 assists) in 56 games overall. He has 933 points (387 goals, 549 assists) in 1,193 career NHL games. Duchene is the second-highest scorer from the 2009 Entry Draft, behind John Tavares (1,184 points in 1,264 games). He and the Stars face the Wild to open the playoffs.

  • Stars' Jason Robertson: Goal and point streak at four games

    Robertson scored a goal and added an assist Monday in a 6-5 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Robertson extended his goal and point streak to four games (five goals, two assists). He has 15 shots in that span. Robertson has 45 goals, 51 assists and 293 shots in 81 games. Forty-one of his points have come on the power play. The Stars have one game remaining this week, but they know who they are facing in the first round of the postseason. Robertson could get a rest, which hurts those of you in formats that go right to the final day of the season.

  • Stars' Mavrik Bourque: First NHL hat trick

    Bourque scored a hat trick Monday in a 6-5 win over Toronto. He also had an assist.

    Bourque's third tally put the Stars ahead for good at 14:52 of the third period. He's the fifth player in Stars history to score at least three goals and four points on the road, and the first since Wyatt Johnston had five points (three goals, two assists) in a 7-6 overtime win in San Jose on March 5, 2024. Bourque has 19 goals, 21 assists and 146 shots in 81 games in his second full season in the NHL.

  • Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Deemed questionable for Game 1

    Heiskanen (lower body) is questionable for Game 1 against the Wild in the first round of the 2026 postseason, per Robert Tiffin of D Magazine on Monday.

    Heiskanen has already been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season, so it's a relatively positive update that he might be an option for the start of the playoffs. Roope Hintz (lower body) is also questionable for Game 1 against the Wild, so the Stars have a couple of moving parts heading into their quest to bring the Stanley Cup back to Dallas.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Questionable for Wednesday

    Steel (hip) is questionable to play in Wednesday's road game against the Sabres, per Robert Tiffin of D Magazine.

    Steel has begun traveling with the team and it was noted that he has a chance to appear in Wednesday's regular-season finale. The 28-year-old center has 12 goals, 33 points, 82 shots on net, 77 hits and 29 blocked shots across 72 games this season. If Steel ends up missing his 10th consecutive game Wednesday, there's a chance that he's being held out to be at 100 percent ahead of Dallas' first-round matchup against the Wild in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Still shelved Monday

    Lundkvist (illness) will miss Monday's road matchup against the Maple Leafs, per the NHL Media Site.

    Lundkvist will miss his third consecutive game Monday with an illness. Across 51 contests this season, the 25-year-old blueliner has eight assists, 11 points, 46 shots on net, 26 hits and 47 blocked shots. His last chance to return to the Stars' lineup prior to the playoffs is Wednesday's road game in Buffalo.

  • Stars' Radek Faksa: Good to go Monday

    Faksa (lower body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Toronto on Monday, per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

    Following a 23-game absence, Faksa will return to a fourth-line role against the Maple Leafs on Monday. He has chipped in two goals, 17 points, 33 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and 75 hits across 56 appearances this season.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Stars' Michael Bunting: Returning to action Monday

    Bunting (lower body) will be in the lineup for Monday's game against the Maple Leafs, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Bunting missed the last six games due to his lower-body injury, but he'll return to action just before the end of the regular season. He's made 11 appearances since being acquired by Dallas from Nashville, and he's logged a goal, an assist, seven hits, four PIM and three blocked shots during that time.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Stars' Casey DeSmith: Poised to start Monday

    DeSmith is expected to defend the road net against Toronto on Monday, per Mark Masters of TSN.

    DeSmith has gone 0-4-1 in his last five outings, allowing 12 goals on 121 shots. He has a 14-8-6 record this campaign with one shutout, a 2.34 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 29 appearances. Toronto ranks 16th in the league with 3.08 goals per game this season.

  • Stars' Christian Fitzgerald: Secures entry-level deal

    Fitzgerald agreed to terms on a one-year, entry-level contract with Dallas on Monday.

    Fitzgerald played in 39 games as a senior for the University of Wisconsin this year, generating 16 goals and 15 helpers along the way. With his collegiate career wrapped up, the 23-year-old forward will link up with AHL Texas for the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign before getting a chance to make the Opening Night roster ahead of next year.

  • Stars' Cameron Hughes: Returning to minors

    Hughes has been loaned back to AHL Texas by the Stars, the team announced Sunday.

    Hughes scored his first NHL goal against the Wild on Thursday, part of a two-game run in the NHL as the Stars battle injuries up front. The 29-year-old has been dominant in the AHL this season, registering 66 points (16 goals, 50 assists) in 63 games. He'll return to the AHL to continue to help playoff-bound Texas.

  • Stars' Matt Duchene: Two helpers in Saturday's win

    Duchene notched two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.

    The veteran center had a hand in two third-period tallies by Jason Robertson that broke open a scoreless tie. It was Duchene's first multi-point performance since March 12, and on the season he's managed 16 goals and 42 points in 55 games.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Stars' Jason Robertson: Supplies only offense Saturday

    Robertson scored two goals, including the game-winner on the power play, in Saturday's 2-0 victory over the Rangers.

    The star winger broke open a scoreless tie by beating Igor Shesterkin on the backhand midway through the third period, then added an empty-netter for good measure. Robertson has found the back of the net in three straight games, and he has supplied 10 goals and 20 points over his last 16 appearances. While he'll almost certainly fall short of reaching 100 regular-season points for the second time in his career -- Robertson has 94 points with two games left on the schedule -- he needs two more goals to tie his career high of 46 from the 2022-23 regular season.
