Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Pockets power-play assist
Heiskanen registered a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Wild in Game 1.
Heiskanen missed the last three games of the regular season due to a lower-body injury. He ended the campaign at 63 points, including 28 on the power play, over 77 appearances. Heiskanen will be tasked with heavy minutes throughout the playoffs. In previous postseason runs, Heiskanen has amassed 17 goals and 48 helpers across 93 outings. This is the seventh time in his eight NHL campaigns he's helped the Stars make the playoffs.

Stars' Jason Robertson: Nets lone goal in Game 1 loss
Robertson scored a power-play goal on six shots in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Wild in Game 1.
Robertson was the only Star able to break through against Jesper Wallstedt and the Wild's defense. After a strong regular season with 45 goals and 96 points over 82 contests, Robertson will be looking to lead the Stars' offense in the playoffs. He's had decent success over the last four years in the postseason, earning 18 goals and 26 assists across 56 playoff outings prior to this year.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Routed by Minnesota in Game 1
Oettinger stopped 23 of 28 shots during the Stars' 6-1 loss to the Wild in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series Saturday. Minnesota's final goal was scored into an empty net.
Two of the pucks to get past Oettinger came on Minnesota power plays, and there wasn't much he could do on the other three either, as his defense kept allowing high-danger chances from in close. The 27-year-old netminder had won five straight starts to close out the regular season, including two shutouts, but after Saturday's rout he sports a 2.99 GAA and .869 save percentage over his last 10 outings. Oettinger will look to bounce back in Game 2 on Monday.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Facing Wild in Game 1
Oettinger will protect the home net in Game 1 against Minnesota on Saturday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Sports reports.
Oettinger posted a 35-12-6 record with four shutouts, a 2.59 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 54 games during the 2025-26 regular season. He has faced the Wild four times this campaign, going 2-1-1 while allowing 11 goals on 130 shots.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Good to go Saturday
Heiskanen (lower body) will play in Game 1 against Minnesota on Saturday, according to Sam Nestler of DLLS Sports.
Following a three-game absence, Heiskanen will return to the top pairing and first power-play unit in Saturday's playoff opener. He wrapped up the 2025-26 regular season with nine goals, 63 points, 148 shots on net and 132 blocked shots across 77 appearances.

Stars' Ben Kraws: Recalled from AHL
Kraws was recalled on an emergency basis from AHL Texas on Saturday.
Kraws spent most of the 2025-26 season at ECHL Idaho, posting a 16-12-2 record with a 3.03 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 31 appearances. Kraws saw action in four AHL games with Texas, going 0-3-0 with a 4.34 GAA and an .840 save percentage. The 25-year-old will likely be a practice goaltender, giving Jake Oettinger or Casey DeSmith some time off the day after a playoff game.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Signs two-year contract extension
Lundkvist inked a two-year, $3.5 million contract extension with Dallas on Friday.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Picks up assist Wednesday
Lyubushkin notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sabres.
Lyubushkin has gotten steady playing time down the stretch in the absence of other defensemen. The blueliner ended his 10-game point drought with a helper on a Mavrik Bourque tally in the first period. Lyubushkin was scratched 11 times during the slump, which suggests he'll be a part-time player at best once Miro Heiskanen (lower body) returns. Lyubushkin ends the regular season with nine points, 33 shots on net, 40 PIM, 68 hits and 90 blocked shots over 53 appearances.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Pots goal No. 20
Bourque scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over Buffalo.
That's four goals in the last two games and seven in the last 12 for Bourque, with the late surge securing his first career 20-goal campaign. The 24-year-old heads into the postseason handling a top-six role for the Stars at even strength, but a lack of consistent power-play time still limits his appeal for playoff pools.

Stars' Esa Lindell: Two-point effort Wednesday
Lindell scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sabres.
The veteran blueliner scored his first power-play goal of the season in the final game, giving Lindell a bit of momentum heading into the playoffs. He's gotten onto the scoresheet in just three of the last 15 contests, but Wednesday's effort did bring him up to 32 points (six goals, 26 helpers) through 82 games on the campaign, tying his career high.

Stars' Justin Hryckowian: Two points in season finale
Hryckowian produced an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over Buffalo.
It's the first multi-point performance since March 6 for Hryckowian. The 25-year-old rookie wraps up the regular season with 14 goals and 30 points in 81 games, adding 119 hits and 43 PIM, and he'll head into the playoffs filling a physical bottom-six role for the Stars.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Secures shootout win in finale
Oettinger stopped 21 shots in regulation and overtime and two of four shootout attempts in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
The 27-year-old netminder heads into the playoffs with plenty of momentum, having reeled off five straight wins to close out the regular season, including two shutouts, with a 1.94 GAA and .916 save percentage. Oettinger's surge carried him to 35 wins on the campaign, the fourth straight season he's reached that mark,

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Guarding cage versus Sabres
Oettinger will be in goal on the road against Buffalo on Wednesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
Oettinger has already reached the 30-win mark for the fifth consecutive season as he goes for his 35th victory of the campaign Wednesday. While the 27-year-old netminder has continued to rack up wins, he is currently sporting the worst save percentage of his career at .900. Regardless, Oettinger will be the starter when the Stars kick off the postseason.
