Jake Oettinger Rock-Solid Versus Capitals

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger collected win No. 16 with 25 saves in Monday's 3-1 victory over Washington. An effort from Dylan Strome got past Oettinger near the end of the first period, but he frustrated the Capitals for the rest of the way, becoming the second-winningest goalie in the league this season. Oettinger carries a 16-7-0 record, putting him behind only Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck in wins. He has allowed 2.33 goals while recording a .913 save percentage and one shutout. Three of Oettinger's seven defeats this season have come in December. But he appears to have started to pick up form again, winning back-to-back starts and allowing just one goal in each contest.

Roope Hintz Hits Two Goals In Monday's Win

Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz took care of two goals in Monday's 3-1 victory over Washington. His power-play goal in the second period tied the game at one, and Hintz made the game safe with another goal at the 14:58 mark in the third. Hintz celebrated his first multi-goal outing of the season Monday night, although he has been busy in front of the net all season. He's tied with Matt Duchene for most goals on the team, having found the back of the net 13 times in 29 appearances. However, points-wise, Hintz is behind four teammates because he's recorded only six assists this term. Hintz has provided 35-plus helpers in three consecutive campaigns, so his playmaking has not been up to par in 2024-25.

Thomas Harley A Game-Time Decision For Monday

Dallas Stars defenseman Thomas Harley (illness) is a game-time decision for Monday's meeting with Washington. He appears to be the latest victim of a flu bug that has recently spread in the Stars locker room. Harley's absence would be a massive loss for the team, as the young blue-liner eats up over 22 minutes of ice time on a nightly basis and contributes at both ends of the ice. In 29 appearances, Harley has notched 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) with 66 shots and 35 blocks. He leads the team with a plus-15 rating. Nils Lundkvist (illness) is expected back on Monday and looks to be Harley's replacement in the lineup if the latter does not feel well enough to play.

Matt Dumba To Remain Out On Saturday

Dallas Stars defenseman Matt Dumba (upper body) will miss a second straight game on Saturday versus St. Louis. He might be out for a few more games after the weekend as well, with Stars head coach Peter DeBoer noting that Dumba is "not week-to-week but not day-to-day," Dumba has zero fantasy value these days, as he's only recorded one assist in 19 games this season. Lian Bichsel entered the lineup in Dumba's absence on Thursday versus Nashville and scored in his NHL debut. He also recorded a game-high five hits and two shots with two penalty minutes in 15:46 of ice time.

Tyler Seguin To Miss 4-6 Months Due To Hip Surgery

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin will undergo hip surgery on Thursday, which will rule him out of action for 4-6 months. He's already missed five games this season, and it looks like Seguin won't return to the Stars lineup before the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs start. It's a shame because the veteran star was off to a productive start to the year. He has tallied 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists) in 19 appearances. Logan Stankoven has already built up good momentum during the season and will have additional fantasy value with Seguin out of the lineup.

Jamie Benn Produces Game-Winner Against Utah

Dallas Stars left wing Jamie Benn scored the game-winning goal as the team took down Utah 2-1 on Monday night. The Stars had both goals in the second period, with Evgenii Dadonov opening the scoring on the power play. Benn has mostly been limited to a third-line role this season, but the veteran has made a solid contribution with 14 points (six goals, eight assists) in 24 games. 10 of his points have come since the start of November. A couple of tough matchups are now coming up for Benn and the Stars as they visit Los Angeles and Vegas.

Matt Dumba  • D  •  Stars

Matt Dumba Back In Action Monday

Dallas Stars defenseman Matt Dumba will re-enter the lineup for Monday's matchup against Utah. The veteran has sat out two games as a healthy scratch. Dumba has posted nearly 250 career points, but his fantasy stock is at an all-time low. In 15 outings this season, he's managed just one assist with 14 shots, 14 blocks, and 27 hits. Dumba will join Thomas Harley on the second defensive pairing, with Alexander Petrovic exiting the lineup.

Logan Stankoven Rejoins Stars Lineup Monday

Dallas Stars forward Logan Stankoven (lower body) will return from a two-game absence on Monday versus Utah. The 21-year-old will take over from Tyler Seguin (lower body), who is set for a multi-game absence. Stankoven is tied for fourth on the team in scoring with 15 points (four goals, 11 assists) in 21 games. However, he's added to his tally in just one of his last six appearances. A spot on the second line, next to the team's highest scorers, Mason Marchment and Matt Duchene, puts Stankoven in a good position to regain his early-season form.

Tyler Seguin  • C  •  Stars

Tyler Seguin Placed On Injured Reserve

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin (lower body) has been placed on Injured Reserve ahead of Monday's game against Utah. The move is retroactive to Dec. 1, leaving Seguin ineligible for four games. Seguin has been battling a lower-body issue all season, missing four games already. Despite not being at 100 percent, the veteran star has done outstanding work, putting up 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists) in 19 appearances. Logan Stankoven (lower body) will come back into the lineup on Monday to replace Seguin.

Jake Oettinger Backstops Stars To Victory Versus Jets

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger put in an impressive performance against the Jets on Sunday, finishing a 3-1 victory with 26 saves. Oettinger was beaten by Adam Lowry early on, but he was then perfect with his work for the rest of the way, improving to 9-1-0 on home ice. Oettinger's overall record now stands at 13-4-0. He has allowed 2.38 goals while registering a .915 save percentage with one shutout. The Stars No. 1 is providing excellent fantasy value for managers again. We should see Casey DeSmith between the sticks Monday night versus Utah, with Oettinger likely returning to work on Wednesday against the Kings, who are riding a three-game winning streak.

Mason Marchment Tallies Three Points On Friday

Dallas Stars left wing Mason Marchment tallied two goals and an assist during Friday's victory over the Colorado Avalanche. Marchment tallied his first point, which was a primary assist on Tyler Seguin's power-play goal in the opening frame. Later in the period, Marchment found the back of the net for the first time on a snapshot. He would then score his second tally of the game in the final minutes with an empty-netter. In addition, he also carried a +2 rating with five shots, four hits, and one block. This was his second multi-point outing over his previous three games. Through 21 total games this season, the 29-year-old has tallied 23 points, with six of them coming on the man advantage. Fantasy managers should continue to expect Marchment to play on the second line and remain a reliable scoring option with solid shooting and hitting upside.

Nils Lundkvist Rejoins Stars Lineup Friday

Dallas Stars defenseman Nils Lundkvist (lower body) will return from a three-game absence on Friday against Colorado. He's projected to join Alexander Petrovic on the third defensive pairing, with Brendan Smith and Matt Dumba heading to the press box as healthy scratches. Lundqvist is an offensively gifted blue-liner, but he's struggled to make an impact in the NHL. Through 15 outings this season, the 24-year-old has collected only one assist with 15 shots on the offensive end, averaging less than 14 minutes of action a night. He should remain a free agent in fantasy leagues.

Logan Stankoven  • C  •  Stars

Logan Stankoven Unavailable Friday

Dallas Stars forward Logan Stankoven (undisclosed) will come out of the lineup for Friday's meeting with Colorado. He's battling an undisclosed injury and will sit out his first game of the season. Offensively, Stankoven has gone missing in the most recent games, but the 2024-25 campaign has been a good one for him overall. The 21-year-old has recorded 15 points (four goals, 11 assists) in 21 appearances, sitting second in scoring among first-year players, behind Philadelphia's Matvei Michkov (17). Evgenii Dadonov will replace Stankoven on the third line. The Russian veteran hasn't been a reliable source of fantasy value this season, totaling nine points (six goals, three assists) in 21 games.

Roope Hintz  • C  •  Stars

Roope Hintz Returns To Action Versus Avalanche

Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (undisclosed) will be welcomed back into the lineup for Friday's big battle against Colorado. He was forced to miss his first game of the season Wednesday night against Chicago due to an undisclosed ailment. Hintz will jump back on the top line and will work with the first power-play unit. The Stars haven't seen the best of Hintz this season, as the Finnish forward has settled for 13 points (eight goals, five assists) in 20 games. He has posted four goals and five points in 11 November outings.

Roope Hintz Sits Out Wednesday's Game

Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (undisclosed) will not be available for Wednesday's matchup against Chicago. He is reportedly dealing with a "tweak." Dallas' first-line center has amassed 13 points (eight goals, five assists) in 20 outings this season. Colin Blackwell comes into the lineup to replace Hintz, but we will likely see somebody else fill in for him in the top six. Veteran Jamie Benn or youngster Logan Stankoven might get the call to move up from the third line.

Jason Robertson  • LW  •  Stars

Jason Robertson Totals Three Points In Wednesday's Win

Dallas Stars left wing Jason Robertson enjoyed his first three-point night of the campaign on Wednesday versus San Jose, notching a goal and two assists in a 5-2 victory. Robertson collected all of his points in even-strength situations. The 2024-25 campaign hasn't gone well for Robertson, who's managed five goals and six assists in 18 outings. He was on a run of three points in 11 games before kicking into gear on Wednesday night. There are now two tough road games ahead for Robertson against Tampa Bay and Carolina. He's been on the score sheet in back-to-back games just once all season.

Nils Lundkvist  • D  •  Stars

Nils Lundkvist Exits Early With A Lower-Body Injury

Dallas Stars defenseman Nils Lundkvist sustained a lower-body injury in Wednesday's 5-2 win over San Jose. He exited the contest in the second period after logging 6:38 of ice time. Lundkvist was back in action on Wednesday following a two-game spell as a healthy scratch. He has not had a great time this campaign, contributing only one assist in 15 appearances. Brendan Smith was scratched on Wednesday to accommodate Lundkvist, and the veteran might now return to the lineup in the next game because of Lundkvist's injury. Smith sits on three assists through nine outings and has registered 17 hits.

Mason Marchment  • LW  •  Stars

Mason Marchment Erupts For Five Points Versus Pittsburgh

Dallas Stars left wing Mason Marchment did his best Wayne Gretzky impression on Monday versus Pittsburgh, producing five points in a 7-1 road victory. A six-goal first period yielded four points for Marchment, and he added one more late in the third frame, finishing with one goal and four assists. Two of the helpers came on the power play. Marchment missed one game with an undisclosed injury last week, but it's safe to say there's nothing wrong with him anymore. Monday's huge scoring outburst helped Marchment become a point-per-game player. In 13 appearances, he has produced three goals and 10 assists this campaign. However, Marchment has posted points in back-to-back outings just once, so fantasy managers should tame their expectations ahead of Thursday's clash with Boston.

Mason Marchment A Game-Time Decision Saturday

Dallas Stars left wing Mason Marchment (undisclosed) could be back in action against Winnipeg on Saturday. An undisclosed injury kept Marchment out from Thursday's battle with Chicago, but he was on the ice for practice on Friday. The 29-year-old power forward has not disappointed fantasy managers in 2024-25, recording eight points (two goals, six assists) and 25 hits in 11 appearances. Marchment's return would push Oskar Back out of the lineup, while Sam Steel will have to settle for a fourth-line role.

Tyler Seguin  • C  •  Stars

Tyler Seguin Expected Back Versus Blackhawks

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin (lower body) is expected to rejoin the lineup for Thursday's tilt against Chicago. The veteran was unavailable for the previous game against Florida. Unfortunately, it looks like we might often see a Seguin-less Stars in this campaign because it has been reported that he's dealing with a lingering lower-body injury. He has been absent for four games already. With that said, Seguin has been very productive when he has played, scoring five goals and amassing nine points in seven appearances. He's projected to skate with Sam Steel and Matt Duchene on the third line versus the Blackhawks, who allow the tenth-most shots on goal in the league (30.4).
