Jake Oettinger Grabs Fourth Consecutive Victory With Shutout

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger logged a 30-save shutout in Wednesday's 3-0 road win against the New Jersey Devils. Dallas' No. 1 collected his second shutout of the season, improving to 12-4-2. On Wednesday, Oettinger recorded his 161st career win to surpass Ed Belfour for the third most in franchise history. Oettinger tends to have some leaky nights, but he has won four consecutive starts and eight of his last seven outings. The 2024 All-Star holds a 2.60 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage this season.

Tyler Seguin Likely Done for the Season

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin has been diagnosed with a torn ACL in his right knee and is expected to miss the rest of the 2025-26 season. The 33-year-old veteran was injured in Tuesday's loss to the New York Rangers. Nathan Bastian replaced Seguin in the lineup on Wednesday against the New Jersey Devils. Seguin has totaled 17 points (seven goals, 10 assists) in 27 games this season. His absence leaves a big hole to fill, but the Stars could at least have Matt Duchene (upper body) available soon. He has been upgraded to day-to-day after missing six weeks of action.

Tyler Seguin Injured Versus Rangers

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin (lower body) lasted only 1:12 against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night. He exited the action after absorbing a hit from Rangers defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov. His early exit from Tuesday's game leaves Seguin a major doubt for Wednesday's tilt against the New Jersey Devils. So far, Seguin has appeared in all 27 games for the Stars this season, recording seven goals and 17 points. Despite his underwhelming scoring rate, Seguin ranks second among Dallas' forwards with a plus-10 rating. Sam Steel joined the top-six group after Seguin's exit on Tuesday and could play a larger role again in Wednesday's game.

Lian Bichsel to Sit Out 6-8 Weeks

Dallas Stars defenseman Lian Bichsel (lower body) needs surgery and will miss 6-8 weeks. The 21-year-old suffered a lower-body injury during Sunday's victory over the Ottawa Senators. In 26 appearances this season, Bichsel has logged three points (one goal, two assists), nine shots, 24 blocks, 85 hits, and 22 penalty minutes. Vladislav Kolyachonok will replace Bichsel in the Stars defense on Tuesday against the New York Rangers. While Kolyachonok has landed on the score sheet twice in his last three outings, he isn't expected to make a significant impact.

Lian Bichsel Exits With Injury Sunday

Dallas Stars defenseman Lian Bichsel (undisclosed) was hurt during the second period of Sunday's 6-1 win over the Ottawa Senators. He left the game with an undisclosed injury after being involved in a collision with Senators forward Fabian Zetterlund. Bichsel has recorded three points, nine shots, 24 blocks, and 85 hits in 26 games for the season. He has recently seen an increase in ice time due to Dallas' injury situation on defense. Ilya Lyubushkin returned to the lineup on Sunday, but the team is still without Thomas Harley (lower body) and Nils Lundkvist (lower body).

Mikko Rantanen Returns to Stars Lineup Wednesday

Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen (suspension) will rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Seattle Kraken. The Finnish superstar didn't play in Tuesday's win over the Edmonton Oilers due to an automatic suspension he received for having two game misconduct penalties in three contests. Rantanen is poised to land back on the first line, joining Jamie Benn and Wyatt Johnson, who exploded for four points in Tuesday's 8-3 victory. In his last appearance, Rantanen saw a five-game point streak end. The Calgary Flames became only the fourth team this season to keep Rantanen off the score sheet. He has amassed 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists) in 22 outings.

Jason Robertson Scores in Seventh Consecutive Game

Dallas Stars winger Jason Robertson extended his goal streak to seven games and registered two assists as the team dominated against the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night with an 8-3 victory. Robertson notched all of his points on the power play, establishing a new team record by scoring in a seventh consecutive contest. The Stars forward also tied Washington defenseman Jakob Chychrun for the longest active point streak in the league, which stands at eight games. Robertson's recent form has helped him to become the fifth player this season to reach the 30-point plateau. He has tallied 14 goals and 17 assists in 23 contests.

Wyatt Johnston Ends Dry Spell With Four-Point Performance

Dallas Stars center Wyatt Johnston finished Tuesday's 8-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers with one goal and three assists. Prior to Tuesday night, Johnstone had been held off the score sheet in four consecutive games. He posted two points, including his goal, on the power play. Despite his recent cold stretch, Johnston has had a productive campaign, scoring 12 goals and 25 points in 23 outings. He leads the NHL with nine power-play goals. More success with the man advantage could be on the horizon for Johnston, as Dallas' next three opponents include Seattle and Ottawa, two of the worst penalty-killing teams in the league.

Mikko Rantanen • RW • Stars

Mikko Rantanen Suspended for One Game

Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen has received an automatic one-game suspension due to a second match penalty in three games. Rantanen was tossed from the game for boarding on Nov. 18 against the New York Islanders and received another ejection for boarding in Saturday's loss to the Calgary Flames. As a result of the suspension, Rantanen must sit out Tuesday's Western Conference Finals rematch against the Edmonton Oilers. He will be eligible to return to action on Wednesday night against the Seattle Kraken. Due to Rantanen's absence, Sam Steel may receive another opportunity in the top six. Meanwhile, Matt Duchene (upper body) could be another option if he is ready to return to the lineup.

Thomas Harley to Miss Road Trip

Dallas Stars defenseman Thomas Harley (lower body) will not join the team for an upcoming four-game road trip, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports. Harley has missed two games with a lower-body injury and is going to need a bit more time to recover. He has been officially listed as week-to-week. Ilya Lyubushkin (undisclosed) won't be on the plane either, leaving the Dallas blue line without two regular contributors. Vladislav Kolyachonok was brought up from the minors this week and is set to remain in the lineup until the injuries clear up. However, he was used very sparingly in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the New York Islanders, as Kolyachonok logged less than 10 minutes of ice time.

Ilya Lyubushkin • D • Stars

Ilya Lyubushkin Out on Tuesday

Dallas Stars defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin (undisclosed) won't play in Tuesday's matchup against the New York Islanders. He will exit the lineup due to an undisclosed injury and is considered day-to-day. Lyubushkin has recorded the second-most blocks on the Stars team with 33 and has picked up four assists in 17 appearances. Additionally, he boasts 22 hits for the season. Dallas will use Vladislav Kolyachonok as Lyubushkin's replacement against the Islanders. Kolyachonok's career numbers are unremarkable, and he is not a recommended fantasy option.

Jamie Benn • LW • Stars

Jamie Benn Makes Season Debut Tuesday

Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn (upper body) will make his season debut in Tuesday's tilt against the New York Islanders. The Stars captain has missed the beginning of the season due to a collapsed lung. Benn will enter the lineup on the fourth line, but he could move up quickly in the lineup, with Matt Duchene (upper body) on the shelf. On Tuesday, Benn is also set to feature on the second power-play unit. Last season, Benn managed 10 power-play points and notched 49 points (16 goals, 33 assists) overall in 80 contests. Although his best days are behind him, the 36-year-old veteran can still make an impact in the offensive zone.

Thomas Harley Out Week-to-Week

Dallas Stars defenseman Thomas Harley (lower body) will be out week-to-week. He missed his first game of the season on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers and will spend some more time on the sidelines due to a lower-body injury. "He was dealing with it. He played three or four games with it," Stars head coach Glen Gulutzan said on Saturday. "It becomes a point right now where you don't want to make the injury worse. It's the smartest decision for the athlete just to take that time now and get it dealt with." Harley is a big piece of the Stars' blue line, averaging nearly 23 minutes of ice time. He has recorded 10 points (one goal, nine assists), 21 shots, and 43 blocks in 18 games. Kyle Capobianco replaced Harley in the lineup on Saturday.

Matt Duchene Continues to Sit Saturday

Dallas Stars forward Matt Duchene (upper body) will be sidelined for a 14th straight game on Saturday night against the Philadelphia Flyers. The veteran remains day-to-day but no timeline has been set for his return. With Jamie Benn (upper body) also not ready to make his season debut, Dallas will continue to rely heavily on Wyatt Johnston and Roope Hintz in the middle. Johnston has replied well to taking on more responsibilities, leading the Stars with 11 goals. He is second in scoring behind Mikko Rantanen with 21 points in 18 appearances. 11 of Johnston's points have come in seven November outings.

Thomas Harley a Game-Time Call Saturday

Dallas Stars defenseman Thomas Harley (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's contest against the Philadelphia Flyers. Due to an undisclosed injury, Harley may have to miss his first game of the season. Before Thursday's matchup against the Montreal Canadiens, Harley was also considered a game-time call. He remained in the lineup and posted an assist while logging 21:25 of ice time. Across 18 appearances, Harley has racked up a team-high 43 blocks and sits on 10 points (one goal, nine assists). Kyle Capobianco is expected to enter the lineup if Harley can't play on Saturday night. He has no fantasy value.

Adam Erne • LW • Stars

Adam Erne to Miss "a Few Weeks"

Dallas Stars left wing Adam Erne (lower body) is facing a multi-week absence. "He's going to be out for a little bit, here," Stars head coach Glen Gulutzan said Wednesday. "I would say we are talking weeks, a few weeks with a lower-body injury." So far, Erne has been a regular in the Stars lineup, though in a limited capacity. He has averaged 9:37 of ice time, recording two goals and one assist in 14 appearances. With 44 hits, Erne ranks second on his team. The Stars attack has already been without Matt Duchene (upper) and Jamie Benn (upper body) for an extended period, which has increased the fantasy value of Sam Steel and Tyler Seguin.

Matt Duchene to Remain Out Saturday

Dallas Stars forward Matt Duchene (upper body) hasn't traveled with the team for Saturday's contest against the Nashville Predators, Stars' beat writer Robert Tiffin reports. The veteran is set to miss his 10th consecutive game. However, the good news is that he is expected to travel with the team next week when the Stars face the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens on the road. Duchene has contributed one goal and one assist in four outings this season, recording three shots on goal. With Jamie Benn (upper body) also sidelined, Sam Steel has seen regular top-six action. He has picked up four of his six points this season in the past three games.

Matt Duchene Remains Out Thursday

Dallas Stars forward Matt Duchene (upper body) will miss a ninth straight game on Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks. The veteran has skated in only four contests this season, recording one goal and one assist. It's unclear when Duchene will be ready to return, but the Stars could have Roope Hintz (undisclosed) back in the lineup against the Ducks. His return will probably lead to a reduced role for Sam Steel. Duchene's next chance to return will be during a back-to-back set this weekend against Nashville and Seattle.

Roope Hintz • C • Stars

Roope Hintz a Game-Time Call Thursday

Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Thursday's tilt against the Anaheim Ducks. The Finnish forward has made significant progress in his recovery from an undisclosed injury and may return after missing five games. Hintz has averaged a point per game this season, registering one goal and seven assists in eight outings. If he's healthy enough to play, Hintz will return to a top-six role and link up with the first power-play unit. Five of his points this season have come during power-play situations.

Wyatt Johnston • C • Stars

Wyatt Johnston Records Three Assists Against Oilers

Dallas Stars center Wyatt Johnston played his part in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout victory against the Edmonton Oilers with three assists. He had one power-play helper as Dallas managed to turn a 2-0 deficit into a win. With Matt Duchene (upper body) and Roope Hintz (undisclosed) battling injuries, Johnston has played a huge role in the middle for the Stars, averaging nearly 22 minutes of ice time. He's tied with Mikko Rantanen for the team lead with seven goals and boasts 14 points through 13 appearances. Johnston has notched half of his points on the power play, and he could get more joy against the Ducks' 79.5 percent penalty kill on Thursday.
