DALLAS STARS NEWS

Matt Dumba - Traveling with team Dumba (lower body) will join the Stars for their upcoming two-game road trip, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports Monday.

Impact Dumba has missed four games due to his lower-body injury but could be back on the ice soon. In his two appearances this year, the 30-year-old blueliner failed to get onto the scoresheet while registering four hits, two blocks and four PIM. Even once fully fit, Dumba is far from a lock for the lineup and could find himself periodically serving as a healthy scratch. In order to return to action, Dumba will need to first be activated off injured reserve.

Miro Heiskanen - Cold start on offense Heiskanen has failed to record a point through the Stars' first six games of the season.

Impact Heiskanen is averaging 24:44 of ice time and has a plus-3 rating, but the Stars' offense has been almost exclusively dependent on the forwards. Among the seven Dallas blueliners to play a game this season, only Thomas Harley has earned any points (two assists). Heiskanen has 10 shots on net and 10 blocked shots, and as long as he's on a goose egg in the points column, he's a buy-low candidate for fantasy.

Alexander Petrovic - Sent back to AHL Petrovic was sent down to AHL Texas on Sunday.

Impact Petrovic has bounced between the AHL and NHL early this year, though he's yet to suit up in a game with Dallas. The 32-year-old blueliner only saw action in one game last season, logging a pair of hits in 12:52 minutes.

Matej Blumel - Reassigned to minors Blumel was loaned to AHL Texas on Sunday.

Impact Blumel made his NHL season debut in Saturday's 4-1 win over Edmonton, earning two shots on net and one hit in 8:00 of ice time. His return to the minors could bode well for the status of Tyler Seguin (lower body) or Sam Steel (undisclosed) ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Buffalo.

Logan Stankoven - Two helpers in Saturday's win Stankoven picked up two assists in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.

Impact The 21-year-old helped set up tallies by Roope Hintz and Jason Robertson in the third period. Stankoven has been impressive to begin his first full NHL season, and while he's still looking for his first goal of 2024-25, he's already piled up seven assists in six games.

Jason Robertson - Two points against Oilers Robertson produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over Edmonton.

Impact Both points came in the third period as the Stars pulled away. Robertson saw his numbers take a step back last season after a breakout 2022-23 campaign, but he's off to a solid start to the current season with three goals and five points in six games.

Roope Hintz - Three-point effort in win Hintz scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.

Impact The only Dallas goal Hintz didn't have a hand in was Matt Duchene's game-winner midway through the third period. Hintz has reached the 30-goal plateau in three straight seasons, and he doesn't appear as though he'll have any trouble making it four straight in 2024-25, racking up three goals and seven points in the first six contests.

Matt Duchene - Pots two goals including winner Duchene scored two goals, one on the power play and the other the game-winner, in Saturday's 4-1 victory over the Oilers.

Impact The veteran center opened the scoring with only 26 seconds left in the second period, ripping a puck past Stuart Skinner from the top of the slot. Duchene then gave the Stars a 2-0 lead midway through the third by finishing a 2-on-1 rush with Mason Marchment. Duchene has had a strong start to the season, collecting three goals and five points in six games.

Jake Oettinger - Sharp in Saturday's win Oettinger made 30 saves in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.

Impact Leon Draisaitl spoiled his shutout bid late in the third period, but otherwise Oettinger delivered a performance worthy of the eight-year, $66 million contract extension he signed earlier this week. Through four starts to begin the season, the 25-year-old netminder is a perfect 4-0-0 with a 1.48 GAA and .953 save percentage.
