Esa Lindell - Expected to miss over a week Lindell (lower body) has been ruled out for Tuesday's road clash against the Bruins and is expected to miss roughly one week, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

Impact Lindell suffered the lower-body injury in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Blackhawks while blocking a shot. The 32-year-old blueliner has thrived in a shut-down role to begin the new season, where he's posted a plus-4 rating, four shots on net, five hits and 18 blocked shots across eight appearances. He's currently slated to miss three or four games given the injury update from head coach Glen Gulutzan. His status will be heavily monitored in a week's time.

Jake Oettinger - Facing Bruins Tuesday Oettinger will patrol the road crease in Tuesday's clash against the Bruins, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

Impact Oettinger will look to carry his momentum into Tuesday's clash after posting his third shutout of the season on Saturday. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder has a 3-2-1 record, a 1.00 GAA and a .952 save percentage across six appearances. He's the only goalie in the NHL with more than one shutout, which makes him a strong starting option in fantasy moving forward. However, he'll face a tough test against the Bruins on Tuesday, who rank fifth in the NHL with 3.78 goals per game.

Roope Hintz - Participates in Monday's practice Hintz (hand) participated in Monday's practice session and should be good to go for Tuesday's game against the Bruins, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Hintz suffered a hand injury in the third period of Saturday's win over the Blackhawks, but the issue shouldn't impact his status for Tuesday's matchup. Across his eight appearances to begin the regular season, the 29-year-old has recorded three goals, two assists, 13 hits, seven PIM and four blocked shots while averaging 16:57 of ice time.

David Perron - Practicing Monday Perron (not injury related) was on the ice for Monday's practice session, Stars TV host Brien Rea reports.

Impact Perron could make his season debut against the Bruins on Tuesday, though the Stars could keep him out of the lineup a little longer to make sure he's up to game speed. In 49 regular-season games with the Senators last year, the veteran winger notched 10 goals and 15 assists, including eight power-play points.

Nils Lundkvist - Chips in with helper Lundkvist notched an assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Lundkvist is working on the second pairing with limited special-teams usage this season. He's contributed a pair of assists, six shots on net, 10 blocked shots, six PIM, four hits and a plus-1 rating over eight appearances. There's nothing in Lundkvist's profile that stands out in fantasy, as he's yet to reach the 20-point mark in any season and has only reached 60 games played once. He's also behind Esa Lindell as the third defenseman option on the power play.

Wyatt Johnston - Held scoreless in return to lineup Johnston fired five shots on net and added a hit in Saturday's 4-0 win over Chicago.

Impact Making his return from a two-game absence due to an illness, Johnston was second on the Stars in shots behind Jason Robertson's seven, but he couldn't get one past Spencer Knight. Johnston is still looking for his first goal of 2026-27, picking up four assists in six games, but he should open his account soon enough after lighting the lamp 45 times in 82 regular-season contests last season.

Jason Robertson - Two-point effort in win Robertson scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an assist in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Chicago.

Impact The star winger opened the scoring early in the second period, slipping a close-range shot past Spencer Knight on a give-and-go with Mikko Rantanen, and that was all the offense Jake Oettinger would need on the night. Robertson has gotten onto the scoresheet in five of the last six games, and through eight contests to begin the season he's collected three goals and seven points.

Arttu Hyry - Lights lamp twice in Saturday's win Hyry scored two goals in Saturday's 4-0 win over Chicago.

Impact The 25-year-old has only six career NHL goals in 33 regular-season games, but three of them have come in the last two contests. Hyry converted a 2-on-1 break midway through the second period on a nice feed from Sam Steel, then snapped a backhand past Spencer Knight early in the third after a bad line change by Chicago created a partial breakaway. The three tallies are Hyry's only points this season in eight games, but he's added 21 hits, 13 shots on net, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating while filling a middle-six role.

Jake Oettinger - Another clean sheet Saturday Oettinger turned aside all 19 shots he faced in Saturday's 4-0 win over Chicago.

Impact The 27-year-old netminder has come rocketing out of the gates in 2026-27, and Oettinger's delivered three shutouts already in just six starts. Thanks to the Stars' inconsistent offense, however, those are also his only three wins; he's gone 3-2-1 with a dazzling 1.00 GAA and .952 save percentage. Oettinger's career high in shutouts is five, set in 2022-23.

Impact Despite making 42 saves on 46 shots, Oettinger has gone 0-1-1 in his last two outings. He has a 2-2-1 record with two shutouts, a 1.20 GAA and a .943 save percentage in five appearances this season. Chicago (3-5-0) is tied for 24th in the league with 2.63 goals per game this campaign.

Oskar Back - Facing multi-week absence Head coach Glen Gulutzan said Friday that Back broke his finger and will miss 4-6 weeks, Robert Tiffin of NHL.com reports.

Impact Back exited Wednesday's game against the Avalanche and was placed on injured reserve Friday. He's slated to miss at least a month after being diagnosed with a broken finger, and it's possible the Stars move him to long-term injured reserve at some point.

David Perron - Won't make season debut Saturday Perron (not injury related) won't participate in Saturday's game in Chicago, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Impact Perron hasn't met up with the team in Chicago after signing a one-year, $850,000 contract Thursday. After Saturday's tilt, the Stars are heading back home, which is probably when Perron will start working with his new teammates. The 38-year-old might end up making his debut Tuesday versus Boston. If that's the case, then Perron will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Oskar Back - Placed on injured reserve Back (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Friday, retroactive to Oct. 14.

Impact Back exited Wednesday's matchup against the Avalanche due to his upper-body injury, and he's facing a multi-game absence after landing on injured reserve. It's not yet clear when Back or Wyatt Johnston (illness) will be able to return to action, but David Perron could see playing time after signing with the Stars on Thursday.
