Recalled from AHL Stankoven was called up from AHL Texas on Saturday.

Impact Stankoven was recalled earlier in the week, but was a healthy scratch as Matt Duchene (lower body) was able to play Tuesday versus the Rangers. The Stars are down to 12 healthy forwards, necessitating the recall of Stankoven, but he could be a healthy scratch Saturday in Carolina. The highly-regarded prospect had 24 goals and 57 points in 47 AHL games before his recall.

Assigned to AHL affiliate Pouliot was reassigned to AHL Texas on Friday.

Impact With Pouliot heading to the minors, the Stars now only have five healthy blueliners on their roster, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him back with the big club ahead of Saturday's game versus Carolina. Pouliot's gone scoreless through three top-level appearances this year.

Assists in three straight games Benn logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Senators.

Impact Benn has a helper in three straight games after collecting just four points over the prior 16 contests. The 34-year-old forward is up to 33 points, 100 shots on net, 77 hits and 35 PIM through 58 appearances. He's working out of the worst of his scoring woes, but his third-line role isn't all that encouraging even with the strong depth of the Stars' offense.

Provides helper Thursday Heiskanen notched an assist in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Senators.

Impact Heiskanen has a point in each of his last four games, picking up two goals and an assist in that span. The 24-year-old defenseman had the secondary helper on Joe Pavelski's goal late in the first period. Heiskanen had an uneven start to the season and missed time injured in January, but he's been pretty steady of late. He's at 35 points, 109 shots on net, 64 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 47 outings overall.

Tallies lone goal in loss Pavelski scored a goal and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Senators.

Impact Pavelski endured a month-long goal drought, racking up seven assists over 12 contests in that span. The 39-year-old's tally was his 20th of the season, giving him 48 points through 58 appearances. Pavelski has been back on the third line recently, swapping places with Wyatt Johnston, though more changes could come with the Stars having lost four straight games.

Makes relief appearance Wedgewood allowed a goal on 19 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Senators.

Impact Wedgewood played a little over half of the game after Jake Oettinger was pulled following Thomas Chabot's second-period tally. Wedgewood is winless in his last five appearances, though two of them have been solid relief appearances. He's at a 13-6-4 record with a 2.97 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 26 outings. The 31-year-old is likely to get an appearance during the Stars' back-to-back Monday and Tuesday, either against the Islanders or the Avalanche.

Pulled in second period Oettinger allowed three goals on 11 shots Thursday against the Senators before being replaced in the second period. The Stars lost 4-1.

Impact The game was tied 1-1 after the first period. But two goals in a span of 3:19 early in the second chased Oettinger from the net. He was replaced by Scott Wedgewood. After a seven-game win streak, Oettinger has lost three consecutive games, including one in overtime and another in a shootout. He has allowed 10 goals in that span. Dallas is one of the Cup favorites coming from the West, so they'll rebound quickly. So will Oettinger.

Supplies power-play helper Benn notched a power-play assist, five shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Benn got on the scoresheet in consecutive games for the first time since Jan. 6-8. The 34-year-old had also gone 11 games without a power-play point entering Tuesday. He's experienced the expected regression after last year's 78-point campaign, recording 32 points, 98 shots on net, 72 hits and 35 PIM through 57 outings in 2023-24. He'll need to do a little better down the stretch to get back to the 50-point threshold.

Helps out on power play Pavelski logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Pavelski's gone a month without a goal, racking up seven assists over his last 12 outings. It's not for a lack of trying -- he has 35 shots on net in that span. The 39-year-old is at 47 points (15 on the power play), 142 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 46 hits and a plus-1 rating through 57 appearances. Pavelski and Wyatt Johnston have occasionally swapped lines, but it appears Pavelski is best suited for top-line usage alongside Roope Hintz and Jason Robertson.

Scores lone goal in loss Heiskanen scored a power-play goal on five shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Heiskanen got the new father boost, but the rest of the Stars couldn't solve Igor Shesterkin. The 24-year-old Heiskanen has three goals and four assists over his last nine games, with two power-play points in that span. Overall, he has 34 points (12 on the power play) with 109 shots on net, 64 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 46 appearances in a top-pairing role this season.
