Steady defensive presence Oleksiak has no points in his last 12 games.
Impact Oleksiak's not lighting up the scoresheet, but the 28-year-old remains solid in his own zone. He's at two goals, 41 hits, 27 blocked shots, 24 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 18 contests. There's little reason for fantasy managers to roster Oleksiak -- his value on ice is much higher than in the virtual game.

Sees inconsistent playing time Hanley has appeared in the Stars' last two games.
Impact Hanley's playing time overall has been inconsistent -- when the Stars are fully healthy, he's the seventh defenseman. He has no points and 12 shots on net in eight appearances in 2020-21.

Earns first assist of season Lindell registered an assist, five blocked shots and two hits in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Lindell's helper on Jason Robertson's third-period goal was the Finnish defender's first assist this season. The 26-year-old Lindell has just three points to go with 35 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and 32 hits in 18 outings. He's topped 20 points in each of the last three campaigns, but it would take a massive scoring surge to get on that pace in 2020-21.

Dishes assist in loss Klingberg recorded an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Klingberg had a hand in Jason Robertson's third-period tally. The Stars were shut out in the last two games, which kept Klingberg off the scoresheet. He's produced three goals, 12 helpers, 34 shots on net, 15 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 18 contests. Klingberg's locked into a top-pairing role and should remain a solid scorer throughout the campaign.

Slings helper Benn posted an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Benn set up Miro Heiskanen for a goal at 7:35 of the third period. The 31-year-old Benn is up to nine points, 33 shots on goal, 15 hits and a plus-3 rating in 14 outings. He has just one assist on the power play this year -- Benn was injured when the Stars' power play couldn't fail at the start of the season.

Produces assist Pavelski notched an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Pavelski had the secondary helper on Miro Heiskanen's third-period tally. The assist snapped a run of two scoreless outings for Pavelski -- that's probably not his fault, as the Stars were shut out twice by the red-hot Andrei Vasilevskiy in both contests. Pavelski has accumulated 10 goals, 11 helpers, 41 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 18 appearances.

Finds twine in loss Robertson scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Robertson has been the definition of streaky in 2020-21 -- his only other offense of the season came during a five-game point streak. The 21-year-old is up to three goals and seven points in 13 contests. A second-round pick from 2017, Robertson is getting middle-six usage when he plays -- he's got the potential to post solid value in deeper fantasy formats that focus on scoring.

Gets in goal column Heiskanen scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Heiskanen's third-period tally sparked the Stars' comeback attempt that fell short. It was his first goal of the year, to go with nine assists and 26 shots on net in 18 outings. Fantasy managers will hope this opens the floodgates for Heiskanen, who has reverted to being simply good instead of the flashes of elite potential he displayed in the 2020 playoffs.

Yields three goals in loss Khudobin gave up three goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact The game was tightly played for the better part of two periods. Khudobin allowed a Boone Jenner goal in the second period, then also gave up goals to Oliver Bjorkstrand (on a turnover) and Eric Robinson (deflection) early in the third. That was enough to serve Khudobin with his third straight loss. The 34-year-old netminder dropped to 4-7-1 with a 2.60 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 12 outings. Jake Oettinger could begin to pick up some playing time if Khudobin continues to struggle.

Out for Thursday's game Hintz (lower body) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Blue Jackets, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.
Impact Hintz dealt with a lower-body injury at the end of February that caused him to miss two games. It's unclear if this injury is related. The 24-year-old has posted 10 points -- seven on the power play -- through 13 contests. His next chance to play is Saturday's rematch against the Blue Jackets.

Impact Although Kiviranta's been added to the active roster, at this point it isn't clear if he'll be in the lineup for Thursday night's game versus the Blue Jackets. The 24-year-old winger's picked up three points through eight games this campaign.

Gets starting nod against Jackets Khudobin will be between the pipes at home versus Columbus on Thursday, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.
Impact Khudobin has registered just one win in his last eight appearances, as he posted a 1-6-1 record and 3.21 GAA over that stretch. In his lone matchup with the Blue Jackets this season, the 34-year-old netminder conceded four goals on 25 shots in a losing effort. If Khudobin continues to struggle, the Stars could start to give Jake Oettinger an increased share of the workload.
