Tyler Seguin out vs. Sharks; Mavrik Bourque set for season debut with Stars After years of anticipation, Bourque, the organization’s top prospect, finally solidified a spot on the Dallas Stars' roster.
OCTOBER 15 • DALLASNEWS.COM
Guarding crease Tuesday Oettinger will protect the home net Tuesday against San Jose, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.
Impact Oettinger is coming off a 34-save shutout victory over the Islanders on Saturday. He has stopped 67 of 70 shots en route to a 2-0-0 record this season. San Jose has scored a mere four goals through two contests this campaign.

Unavailable Tuesday Seguin (lower body) won't play Tuesday against San Jose, according to Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports.
Impact Seguin is considered day-to-day after tweaking something in his lower-body area, but the injury probably won't keep him out for an extended period. He has generated two goals, one assist and four shots on net in three outings this campaign. Mavrik Bourque (undisclosed) will replace Seguin in Tuesday's lineup.

Won't require surgery Dumba (lower body) won't need surgery but is considered week-to-week, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports Tuesday.
Impact With Dumba on the shelf, the team called up Alex Petrovic from the minors in order to bolster its defensive depth. Still, it's Nils Lundkvist who figures to see the biggest uptick in ice time without Dumba on the blue line. Given his recovery timeline, Dumba will likely wind up on injured reserve sooner rather than later.

Playing Tuesday Bourque (undisclosed) will be in action against San Jose on Tuesday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.
Impact Bourque will make his season debut after missing the opening three games of the 2024-25 campaign due to his undisclosed injury. The 22-year-old Quebec native should slide into a third-line center role, which will likely see Wyatt Johnston move to the wing while Jamie Benn will be dropped from the lineup. With just one game of NHL experience, Bourque is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and could periodically serve as a healthy scratch or spend some time in the minors.
OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Called up Tuesday Petrovic was recalled from AHL Texas on Tuesday.
Impact Petrovic will serve as Dallas' seventh defenseman with Matt Dumba (lower body) being re-evaluated Monday. Petrovic has provided a goal, six PIM and a minus-3 rating for AHL Texas through two regular-season contests.

Registers helper Blackwell notched an assist in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.
Impact Blackwell picked up his first point of the year on a Sam Steel goal in the first period. The 31-year-old Blackwell has added two shots on net, five hits and a plus-1 rating while filling a fourth-line role. The veteran forward has reached the 20-point mark just twice in his career and doesn't stand out in other statistical areas, so he's not a player most fantasy managers will need to roster in 2024-25.

Nabs assist Sunday Harley provided an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.
Impact Harley moved up to the top pairing alongside Miro Heiskanen to cover the absence of Matt Dumba (lower body). Through three games, Harley has racked up two assists, a plus-3 rating, 10 shots on net and five blocked shots. Last regular season, he averaged 1.8 shots per game while shooting 10.4 percent in a 15-goal, 47-point campaign. That's a tough efficiency for a defenseman to maintain, but Harley could keep his production level or better if he is able to sustain a higher shot volume.

Contributes helper in win Stankoven notched an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.
Impact After two games on the top line, Stankoven was moved to a line with Jamie Benn and Wyatt Johnston. That trio connected for the Stars' second goal just 13 seconds after Sam Steel got the team on the board. Stankoven is up to four assists, five shots on net and a plus-3 rating over three contests. Regardless of which line he's listed on, his usage has been in line with a middle-six forward, and his production has been strong over the first week.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Adds assist in win Benn registered an assist in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.
Impact Benn was held off the scoresheet Opening Night in Nashville, but he's picked up a goal and an assist over his last two games. The 35-year-old continues to play a middle-six role at even strength while featuring on the Stars' top power-play unit. He's contributed three shots on net, five hits and one blocked shot through three contests this season. If Benn's usage remains steady, he could challenge for a third straight 60-point campaign.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Opens scoring in win Steel scored a goal in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.
Impact Steel's tally at 16:17 of the first period held up as the game-winning goal. It was the first goal and second point through three games this season for the 26-year-old center, who has added a plus-1 rating and two shots on net. Steel appears to be a lock for a fourth-line role, but it would likely take injuries higher in the lineup for him to earn more ice time.

Snipes goal in win Johnston scored a goal, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.
Impact Johnston had the Stars' second goal, firing in a shot from the right circle just 13 seconds after Sam Steel put the home team on the board in the first period. The 21-year-old Johnston has a goal, two assists, five shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over three contests this season. He continues to play key minutes while filling a third-line center role, which isn't a problem on a team as deep as Dallas.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Secures shutout in Dallas debut DeSmith posted a 25-save shutout in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.
Impact DeSmith's first start with the Stars was perfect, as he was able to keep the Kraken off the scoresheet. Jake Oettinger has also played well to begin the campaign, so DeSmith is unlikely to get a chance to earn more starts than a typical backup. The Stars don't have any back-to-backs scheduled over the next week. While DeSmith has rarely had the opportunity to carve out large stretches of playing time, he has recorded no fewer than 11 wins in any of his last five NHL campaigns.
