Snags assist Friday Lundkvist recorded an assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Lundkvist set up Joe Pavelski's game-tying goal in the second period. The helper was Lundkvist's first point since Nov. 24, but his drought was just five games since he's been a regular healthy scratch lately. He'll need to keep getting involved on offense to avoid Joel Hanley retaking the last spot in the lineup. Lundkvist has disappointed with just eight helpers to go with 25 shots on net, 14 hits, 15 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 25 appearances this season.

Not in lineup often Lundkvist has been scratched for eight of the Stars' 11 games in December.

Impact Lundkvist hasn't played more than two games in a row since the start of the month. He's lost his place to Joel Hanley, who provides better defense and virtually no offense. Lundkvist is also at risk of losing his power-play time in the games that he plays, as Thomas Harley has taken on that duty in his absence. Lundkvist has just seven helpers with 25 shots on net, 14 hits and 14 blocked shots over 24 appearances.

Hands out assist in loss Lundkvist notched an assist in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Flames.

Impact Lundkvist snapped a three-game slump when he set up Jason Robertson's first-period tally.

He's managed seven assists, 21 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 19 contests this season.

Despite the reduced role, he's posted four assists over his last four games, a span which includes his two highest ice times of the month. The 23-year-old is at six helpers, 17 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 15 contests overall.

Helps out on power play Lundkvist dished a power-play assist, fired four shots on goal and went minus-2 in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Wild.

Impact Lundkvist has three helpers over his last three games, and his assist Sunday was his first power-play point of the campaign. The 23-year-old could be in line for a larger role if Thomas Harley (upper body) misses time.

It's the first multi-point game of the year for the 23-year-old Lundkvist, who now has four assists through 12 games. He should continue to see time on Dallas' second power-play unit while working with Thomas Harley on the third defensive pairing.

Assists in consecutive games Lundkvist recorded an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Flames.

Impact Lundkvist opened the season with six straight goose eggs, but he's posted a helper in each of the last two contests. The 23-year-old defenseman also saw a season-low 13:40 of ice time Wednesday, but the Stars have continued to deploy players in a fairly balanced manner this season. The Swede has a plus-4 rating, six shots on goal, seven blocked shots and two PIM to go with his pair of helpers over eight games.

Gets on scoresheet with helper Lundkvist notched an assist and two PIM in Monday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Lundkvist took a minus-1 rating Monday, the first time he's been negative this season. Despite that, he also picked up his first point in seven outings. The 23-year-old has seen time on the third pairing and second power-play unit, but his ice time has trended down from 19:21 in the season opener to 14:21 in Monday's game. Lundkvist appears to have a more well-rounded game so far with a plus-2 rating, five blocked shots and three hits, but the offensive power of Thomas Harley (four points) could eventually lead to a shake-up on the second power-play unit.

Role reduced in March Lundkvist has played in only seven of the Stars' 14 games in March.

Impact Lundkvist's reduced role has come as the playoff race intensifies. The Stars clearly aren't ready to fully trust the 22-year-old in his own zone, leading to more playing time for veteran Joel Hanley while Lundkvist watches from the press box. Lundkvist hasn't helped his cause with zero points and just five shots on goal in March, though he's produced 16 points, 94 shots, 67 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 60 outings overall.

Opens scoring Monday Lundkvist scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Ducks.

Impact Lundkvist had been a healthy scratch for four of the last five games before the All-Star break. His opening tally at 8:08 of the first period should help the 22-year-old maintain a spot in the lineup over Joel Hanley for a while. As a young blueliner, there have been some ups and downs for Lundkvist in 2022-23, but he's managed five goals, 15 points, 74 shots on net, 49 blocked shots, 42 hits and a minus-6 rating through 45 contests.
