Roope Hintz - Might be available for Sunday Hintz (face) won't return Friday versus Winnipeg, but he might be an option for Sunday's clash in Colorado, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports Wednesday.

Impact Hintz didn't play in Sunday's 4-1 win over Vancouver due to the injury. He has 25 goals and 52 points in 59 appearances in 2024-25. When Hintz is ready to return, Jamie Benn will likely shift off the top six.

1 DAY AGO • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Roope Hintz - Set to miss at least one week Hintz (face) avoided suffering a fracture but is expected to miss at least a week, Sean Shapiro of DLLS Sports reports Tuesday.

Impact Based on his timeline, Hintz will certainly miss the next two games, though it could certainly be longer depending on his recovery. With Hintz on the shelf, the first-line center role is expected to go to Wyatt Johnston. Prior to getting hurt, the 28-year-old Hintz was rolling with three goals and 13 assists, including seven power-play points, in his last seven contests.

Ilya Lyubushkin - Manages helper in win Lyubushkin notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Lyubushkin was on the wrong side of the highlight reel in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers, as he got humbled on a one-on-one play against Connor McDavid as part of a minus-3 performance. Lyubushkin bounced back well, helping out on a Thomas Harley tally to open the scoring Sunday. Through 62 contests, Lyubushkin has 13 points, 39 shots on net, 71 hits, 101 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating this season. He'll never be a big scorer, but he hasn't thrown the body around enough in 2024-25 to justify a roster spot in most fantasy formats despite being two points shy of matching his career high from 2021-22.

Evgenii Dadonov - Puts up helper in win Dadonov notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact This was Dadonov's second straight game with a helper. Interestingly enough, his last six points have all come on the road, with Dallas playing 12 total contests in that span, including eight away from American Airlines Center. The veteran winger has been a reliable depth scorer in 2024-25 with 35 points, 106 shots on net and a plus-11 rating across 64 appearances. However, the Stars' significant forward depth means he'll likely finish the regular season in a bottom-six role at even strength.

Cody Ceci - Provides two more helpers Ceci produced two assists, two shots on net, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Ceci earned his first multi-point performance as a Star, and he's now at four helpers and a plus-5 rating across five games in March. The 31-year-old has been a good fit on the second defense pairing, and he's seen plenty of ice time to help cover the absence of Miro Heiskanen (knee). Ceci is up to 21 points, 69 shots on net, 123 blocked shots, 70 hits and a minus-4 rating through 67 outings between the Stars and the Sharks this season. With a chance to exceed the standard 82-game total due to his trade, Ceci has an outside chance of pushing toward his career-high 28 points from the 2021-22 campaign.

Matt Duchene - Offers two assists in win Duchene notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Duchene helped out on goals by Mikael Granlund and Jason Robertson as the Stars pulled away with the win. With six points over five games in March, Duchene remains a strong source of offense from a second-line role. He crossed the 40-assist mark Sunday for the fifth time in his career and third time in four years. Duchene has 66 points (23 on the power play), 116 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 64 contests overall, and he'll remain on the top power-play unit as long as Roope Hintz (face) is out of the lineup.

Thomas Harley - Buries goal in win Harley scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Harley continues to surge on offense with two goals and seven assists over his last seven contests. While he had an assist Saturday versus the Oilers, he also took a minus-3 rating in one of his worst defensive performances of the year, but he bounced back with a solid all-around effort Sunday. Harley is now at 12 goals, 39 points, 133 shots on net, 86 blocked shots and a plus-26 rating through 62 appearances. Concerns over the sustainability of his 15-goal, 47-point campaign in 2023-24 have at least partially been alleviated by his continued strong play in 2024-25, which has him on track to finish with similar scoring numbers.

Mikael Granlund - First goal in Victory Green Granlund scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Despite being acquired from the Sharks in a Feb. 1 trade, Granlund failed to find the back of the net in his first 12 games as a Star. The 33-year-old broke through with the go-ahead goal -- and eventual game-winner -- in the final minute of the second period. He's up to 16 goals, 54 points, 144 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 44 hits and a minus-4 rating through 65 appearances this season. Granlund is a playmaker, so don't be surprised if his offensive output remains tilted more toward assists the rest of the way.

Mikko Rantanen - Deposits empty-netter Rantanen scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Rantanen is up to three points over two games with the Stars after providing the finishing touch for this win. The 28-year-old saw 19:04 of ice time Sunday, down from 21:56 in his Dallas debut versus the Oilers on Saturday, which was likely a product of head coach Pete DeBoer spreading the minutes around late in this contest. Rantanen is now at 29 tallies, 73 points, 181 shots on net, 40 PIM and a plus-9 rating across 64 appearances between three teams this season. His time with the Stars is off to a smooth start, and fantasy managers should have no trouble keeping him in their lineups.

Jason Robertson - On eight-game point streak Robertson scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Robertson gave the Stars a 3-1 lead with his tally just under midway through the third period. The 25-year-old is up to eight goals and 15 points during his eight-game point streak. For the season, the star winger has 28 tallies, 38 helpers, 177 shots on net, 47 hits and a plus-8 rating across 64 appearances in a top-line role.

Casey DeSmith - Defeats former team DeSmith stopped 22 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact This was DeSmith's first game against his former team since he left the Canucks in free agency this past summer. The 33-year-old netminder was sharp against his old teammates, allowing just a Derek Forbort tally in the second period. DeSmith has won his last six games, allowing a total of 12 goals in that span. He's up to 12-6-0 with a 2.42 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 20 appearances this season. While DeSmith has been a steady backup, Jake Oettinger will still handle the bulk of the goaltending duties, which likely will include Friday's Central Division showdown on the road in Winnipeg.
