Thomas Harley - Hands out helper Harley recorded an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Impact Harley began 2024-25 on the second pairing with Ilya Lyubushkin, as the Stars look committed to balancing their defensive pairs with left-handed and right-handed shooters. In the playoffs last year, Harley and fellow lefty Miro Heiskanen often worked together on the top pair. The result here is likely less ice time for Harley, though he may also be able to contribute more offense with easier matchups. The 23-year-old was a standout in 2023-24 with 15 goals, 32 assists and 135 blocked shots in 79 regular-season appearances.

Tyler Seguin - Sets up game-winner Seguin notched an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Impact Seguin set up linemate Mason Marchment on the game-winning goal, which was scored at 18:15 of the second period. Along with center Matt Duchene, Seguin and Marchment form a strong second line for a deep Dallas forward group. Last year was Seguin's most productive since 2018-19 -- he produced 52 points in just 68 regular-season contests. The 32-year-old is no longer an 80-point threat annually, but he's an effective depth forward with modest physicality for fantasy purposes.

Matt Duchene - Offers power-play assist Duchene notched a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Impact Duchene set up the first of Mason Marchment's two goals in the game. That duo, along with linemate Tyler Seguin, often found success in bunches last year while playing on the second line. They began 2024-25 together as well, which is good news for Duchene's production. He put up 65 points in 80 regular-season contests last season and should push for similar numbers despite being limited to the second power-play unit this year.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Wyatt Johnston - Contributes assist in win Johnston posted an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Impact Johnston led all Stars forwards with 21:09 of ice time despite playing in a third-line role at even strength. That was a common occurrence down the stretch and in the playoffs in 2023-24, as the line assignment typically doesn't define Johnston's usage too strictly. The 21-year-old put up 65 points (10 on the power play) and 216 shots on net in 82 regular-season contests last year, and he could still find another level in his game this season.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Logan Stankoven - Distributes three assists Stankoven recorded three assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Impact Stankoven had a hand in the Stars' first three goals, including a power-play tally by Mason Marchment. The 21-year-old Stankoven got a chance on the top line Thursday, while Wyatt Johnston centered the third line in the absence of Mavrik Bourque (undisclosed). Those young players may frequently move around the lineup. Stankoven may be prone to ups and downs as most rookies are, but he's a must-have player in dynasty formats and will likely be productive enough on offense to draw interest in redraft leagues as well.

Jason Robertson - Nets goal in win Robertson scored a goal, went plus-2 and added three hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Impact Robertson doubled the Stars' lead to 2-0 with his tally 2:24 into the second period. While he missed the whole preseason while recovering from foot surgery, he didn't look a step behind the pace in this win. He saw 16:45 of ice time and will likely continue to see more modest playing time given the depth of the Stars' lineup. The winger was limited to 29 goals and 80 points in 82 regular-season outings, but he has a pair of 40-goal campaigns and one 100-point year to his name, so he's a strong bounce-back candidate.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Mason Marchment - Tallies twice in season-opening win Marchment scored a pair of goals, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Impact Marchment scored the third and fourth goals for the Stars in this win. The winger is coming off a career year of 22 goals and 31 assists in 81 regular-season outings, though it was a streaky performance for him in 2023-24. While he may not be the most consistent winger, he'll be on the second line and second power-play unit for much of this season while also adding solid hit and PIM totals.

Roope Hintz - Two points in Thursday's win Hintz scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Impact Hintz scored at 2:05 of the first period and set up a Jason Robertson goal just 19 seconds later. The 27-year-old Hintz remains the Stars' top-line center to begin 2024-25, and while he won't have Joe Pavelski on his line anymore, he clicked with Logan Stankoven in the season opener. Wyatt Johnston and Tyler Seguin are also options for the top line. Hintz will look to get back over the 70-point mark after he was limited to 30 goals and 35 assists in 80 regular-season contests last year.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Oettinger - Holds on for win Oettinger stopped 32 of 35 shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Impact After a scoreless first period, the Stars erupted for a 4-1 lead after the middle frame. Oettinger let in a couple of goals in the third, but the lead held. After career-worsts in GAA (2.72) and save percentage (.905) over 54 appearances in the 2023-24 regular season, Oettinger will look to bounce back this season. The 25-year-old should see a large share of starts in goal, though he'll likely split this weekend's back-to-back at home with Casey DeSmith. The Stars face the Islanders on Saturday and the Kraken on Sunday.

Wyatt Johnston - In action Thursday Johnston (undisclosed), as expected, will be in the lineup to face Nashville on Thursday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.
Impact Johnston has yet to miss a game in his NHL career and will continue that streak heading into the 2024-25 campaign. The 21-year-old center looks set for a third-line role versus the Predators but should still see time with the No. 1 power-play unit. As such, Johnston should still offer top-half fantasy value given his offensive upside.
OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Jason Robertson - Good to play Thursday Robertson (foot) is set to play Thursday against Nashville, per Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest.
Impact Robertson underwent foot surgery over the summer, but it seems that procedure won't result in him missing any regular season games. He scored 29 goals and 80 points across 82 regular-season contests in 2023-24, which is impressive but also down from 46 goals and 109 points during the prior campaign. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 25-year-old surpass his 2023-24 offensive totals if he stays healthy this campaign.
OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Oettinger - Facing Predators Oettinger will get the Opening Night start on the road versus Nashville on Thursday, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.
Impact Oettinger is expected to handle the majority of the starts with the Stars this season, with Casey DeSmith backing him up. Oettinger finished last season with 35 wins, his third-straight season with at least 30 victories in the regular season. Oettinger will face the Predators, who will start Scott Wedgewood, Oettinger's backup in Dallas last season.
