  • Stars' Jason Robertson: Dishes pair of assists

    Robertson notched two assists, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

    This was Robertson's fourth multi-point effort over his last five contests. In that span, he has four goals and five assists. The winger had a hand in goals by Roope Hintz and Lian Bichsel in Thursday's win. Robertson is up to 77 points (33 goals, 44 assists), 199 shots on net, 55 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 75 outings this season as a reliable top-line producer.

  • Stars' Lian Bichsel: Buries goal Thursday

    Bichsel scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

    Bichsel tacked on a goal at 12:42 of the third period to produce the final score. He has two points, a plus-4 rating, 17 PIM and 16 hits across his last five contests. The 20-year-old is doing fine in a limited role on the third pairing, earning seven points, 31 shots on net, 132 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-6 rating across 32 appearances. Offense probably won't be his calling card in the long run, but he's shaping up to be a physically intimidating bottom-four option who can take care of business in his own zone.

  • Stars' Mikael Granlund: Nets equalizer Thursday

    Granlund scored a goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

    Granlund extended his point streak to four games (three goals, two assists) when he tied the game at 1-1 late in the second period. That set the stage for the Stars' comeback win. Granlund is up to 18 points in 24 outings with Dallas, and he's earned a total of 21 goals, 63 points, 160 shots on net, 53 hits, 57 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 76 appearances this season when accounting for his time with the Sharks. This is the fifth time he's exceeded the 60-point mark in his career.

  • Stars' Roope Hintz: Finds twine Thursday

    Hintz scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

    Hintz has scored in three of the last four games and has 10 points across his last six outings. The 28-year-old has played a large role in the Stars' seven-game winning streak as he continues to center the top line. For the season, Hintz is up to 28 goals, 65 points, 147 shots on net, 48 hits, 42 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating over 69 appearances. The Stars still have a shot at the top seed in the Central Division, so it's unclear if they'll rest Hintz in any of their last seven contests, though he should still have time to challenge for the 30-goal and 70-point marks.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Scores in sixth straight game

    Johnston scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

    Johnston is getting to be automatic -- this was his sixth straight game with a goal, and he even did it without regular linemate Jamie Benn (undisclosed). The pace is unsustainable, as Johnston has just 10 shots on net during the streak, but it's nonetheless an impressive run for the 21-year-old. He's up to 31 goals (one shy of his career high), 68 points, 190 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 75 outings this season.

  • Stars' Jamie Benn: Doubtful Saturday

    Benn (undisclosed) is doubtful for Saturday's tilt versus Pittsburgh, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

    Benn missed Thursday's game against Nashville. The 35-year-old veteran has 16 goals and 29 assists in 74 games this season. Look for Colin Blackwell to remain in the lineup with Benn still disabled.

  • Stars' Mikko Rantanen: Two-point effort in win

    Rantanen notched two assists in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

    Both points came in the third period as the Stars put the game away. Rantanen has found a groove with Dallas after a tumultuous stint in Carolina, getting onto the scoresheet in five of the last six games while piling up two goals and nine points.

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

    Duchene picked up two assists in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

    The veteran center had a hand in the Stars' first two tallies of the night, including Mason Marchment's game-winner just 39 seconds into the third period. Duchene has gotten onto the scoresheet in nine of the last 10 games, amassing four goals and 11 points over that span, and he sits one goal short of his fourth career 30-goal campaign, and three points shy of reaching 80 for the second time.

  • Stars' Mason Marchment: Two points against Preds

    Marchment scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over Nashville.

    The GWG was the fourth of the season for Marchment, establishing a new career high. The 29-year-old winger has three multi-point performances in the last four contests, and Thursday's tally was his 20th of the season, a mark he's reached in back-to-back campaigns. Dallas has seven games left on its schedule, giving Marchment time to try and top the career-high 22 goals he recorded in 2023-24.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Sharp in sixth straight win

    Oettinger stopped 28 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

    Steven Stamkos opened the scoring early in the second period by sneaking a sharp-angle shot past Oettinger, but the 26-year-old netminder shut the door the rest of the way. His win streak stands at six, a stretch in which Oettinger has delivered a stellar 1.66 GAA and .947 save percentage as the Stars try to catch the Jets for the top seed in the Western Conference.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Ready to return

    Steel (undisclosed) is good to play Thursday versus Nashville, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

    Steel missed Monday's 3-1 win over Seattle due to the injury. He has six goals and 23 points in 71 appearances in 2024-25. Steel's return coincides with Jamie Benn (undisclosed) exiting the lineup.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Set to start Thursday

    Oettinger is expected to start at home against Nashville on Thursday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

    Oettinger has won his past five starts while saving 152 of 161 shots (.944 save percentage). He's 35-15-3 with a 2.47 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 53 appearances in 2024-25. Nashville ranks last in goals per game with 2.52.

  • Stars' Jamie Benn: Sitting out Thursday

    Benn (undisclosed) won't play versus the Predators on Thursday for maintenance reasons, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

    This suggests Benn's injury isn't overly serious, but the Stars are not locked into their playoff seeding yet, so it's not just rest. The 35-year-old has gone 11 games without a goal, but he has five assists and 15 hits in that span. His next chance to play is Saturday versus the Penguins, which is the first half of a back-to-back.

  • Stars' Oskar Back: Posts helper Monday

    Back logged an assist and five shots on goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

    Back tied for the team lead in shots in this contest, which is a rarity for the fourth-line forward. He'd posted just six shots (one goal) over his first 13 outings in March and was a scratch in Saturday's game against the Kraken. The 25-year-old rookie has managed 15 points, 41 shots, 33 blocked shots, 27 hits and a plus-1 rating over 67 appearances this season.

  • Stars' Matt Dumba: Nabs helper Monday

    Dumba recorded an assist, three blocked shots, two shots on goal and two PIM in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

    Dumba helped out on Matt Duchene's game-tying goal at 2:34 of the first period. This ended a 10-game point drought for Dumba, who has hardly been consistent on offense throughout the season. The 30-year-old is at just eight points with 43 shots on net, 63 hits, 58 PIM, 57 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 55 appearances. He remains on the third pairing and is unlikely to be consistent enough in any area to help most fantasy managers.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Dishes pair of assists Monday

    Lindell notched two assists in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

    Lindell snapped a four-game skid with his pair of helpers. He set up Wyatt Johnston's go-ahead goal at 3:19 of the first period as well as a Mikael Granlund empty-netter in the third. Lindell is up to 24 points, 89 shots on net, 155 blocked shots, 45 hits and a plus-34 rating across 74 appearances this season. He's finished between 23 and 26 points in four of the previous five campaigns, so this is a pretty typical level of offense for the Finnish blueliner, though he still has a couple of weeks to add to his totals.

  • Stars' Mason Marchment: Earns two helpers in win

    Marchment logged two assists, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

    Marchment helped out on tallies by Matt Duchene and Mikael Granlund in the contest. That trio of forwards comprises the second line, which has been a group growing in confidence in recent games. Marchment has four goals and six helpers across his last 10 outings. The 29-year-old winger is up to 19 goals, 23 helpers, 121 shots on net, 71 hits, 47 PIM and a plus-15 rating across 56 appearances. He's a strong source of depth scoring as well as a little grit for fantasy managers seeking well-rounded production.
