Oskar Back - Logs helper in win Back notched an assist in Monday's 3-2 win over Utah.

Impact Back has five helpers over his last eight contests. The 24-year-old remains firmly in a fourth-line role, but the increased offense suggests he's getting a little more comfortable in the middle of his first NHL campaign. Back is up to nine points, 17 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 28 outings overall. Despite his increased offense, he's not a player most fantasy managers will need to rely on.

Mavrik Bourque - Garners assist Bourque logged an assist in Monday's 3-2 win over Utah.

Impact Bourque is getting a look on the top line at even strength, and he capitalized on the chance by setting up Roope Hintz's goal Monday. The 22-year-old Bourque has three points over his last eight games -- that's still modest production, but it's a slight uptick from where's been for most of the year. He's at seven points, 25 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 28 appearances.

Thomas Harley - Provides helper in win Harley notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 win over Utah.

Impact Harley picked up his first point since a two-goal game versus the Flames on Dec. 8. He missed two contests due to an illness in that span, but he's been right back in the top four since he returned from that absence. The 23-year-old defenseman is up to 15 points, 69 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 31 outings this season. He's on pace to fall short of his 47-point performance across 79 regular-season games last year, but he's still adding decent offense for a blueliner.

Wyatt Johnston - Posts assist in win Johnston recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 win over Utah.

Impact This was Johnston's third helper over the last four games, though he's gone six contests without a goal. It's not his worst slump of the year -- he had a 10-game goal drought from Oct. 15 to Nov. 9. He's now at the 20-point mark (six goals, 14 assists) with 93 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-1 rating over 33 appearances. Johnston is currently centering the third line, though he's had somewhat limited success both there and as a right wing on the top line.

Jason Robertson - Pockets assist Monday Robertson notched an assist and four shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 win over Utah.

Impact Robertson helped out on a goal by Roope Hintz in the second period. Over the last seven games, Robertson has two goals and six assists, making the last couple of weeks one of his best stretches this season. Overall, the talented winger has 23 points, 81 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-1 rating through 33 appearances. His struggles can be partially explained by him missing camp due to a foot surgery that kept him out of preseason action, and it looks like he's getting back on track now.

Colin Blackwell - Tallies opening goal Blackwell scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 3-2 win over Utah.

Impact Blackwell has scored twice over the last three games. His tally Monday opened the scoring at 11:02 of the first period. The 31-year-old forward is up to four goals, eight points, 35 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-3 rating through 28 appearances. He continues to be a steady veteran presence on the fourth line, but the lack of offense makes him a player most fantasy managers don't need to keep tabs on.

Jamie Benn - Lights lamp in win Benn scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 3-2 win over Utah.

Impact Benn had gone eight games without a goal, though he racked up six assists in that span. The 35-year-old has been steady by getting on the scoresheet in eight of 11 contests in December. He's up to seven goals, 21 points, 55 shots on net, 52 PIM, 47 hits and a minus-4 rating over 33 appearances this season as a steady veteran with spots on the third line and first power-play unit.

Roope Hintz - Tallies in Monday's win Hintz scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 win over Utah.

Impact Hintz has been warm lately with five goals and an assist over his last seven outings. The 28-year-old is up to 15 tallies in 32 contests overall, though he's added just six assists. Still, there's not a lot to complain about with a 30-goal center. Hintz also has 77 shots on net, 23 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating this season.

Casey DeSmith - Allows two goals in win DeSmith saved 24 of 26 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over Utah.

Impact DeSmith has allowed just three goals on 69 shots over three appearances in December. The 33-year-old's workload remains light as backup to an elite netminder in Jake Oettinger, but DeSmith has put a shaky November behind him. For the year, he's 4-4-0 with a 2.41 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 10 appearances (eight starts). The Stars don't have any back-to-backs over the next week, so DeSmith may have to wait a while for his next outing.

Lian Bichsel - Sent to AHL Bichsel was loaned to AHL Texas on Monday.

Impact Bichsel made his sixth appearance of the season Monday, compiling six hits and one blocked shot in a 3-2 win over Utah. The Swiss blueliner's 11:58 of ice time was the lowest among Dallas' defensemen, so he might benefit from more consistent playing time in the AHL. Bichsel has found the back of the net twice but has yet to register an assist at the NHL level in 2024-25.

Heika's Take: Power play flounders as Stars lose 3-1 to Rangers | Dallas Stars Dallas had a number of golden opportunities gifted to it by a sloppy New York club, but couldn’t cash in on any of them in a loss

3 DAYS AGO • NHL.COM

Nils Lundkvist - Grabs helper Friday Lundkvist managed an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Lundkvist returned after shaking off an illness that had cost him two of the last three games. The 24-year-old Lundkvist took line rushes on the top pairing but was in his usual bottom-four role once the puck dropped. He earned his second assist in his last four outings and now has three helpers through 24 contests this season. He's added 33 shots on net, 16 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating. Lundkvist isn't seeing enough power-play time or producing enough offense to be an impact player in fantasy.
