Radek Faksa - Suffers lower-body injury Faksa has sustained a lower-body injury and won't return to Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Impact Faksa has an assist in five outings in 2026-27, including Saturday's action. Joel Kiviranta (lower body) is questionable for Tuesday's game after missing the past two games. If Faksa and Kiviranta both can't play Tuesday, then the Stars might need to summon a forward from the minors.

Jake Oettinger - Tending twine Saturday Oettinger will guard the road crease in Saturday's clash with the Penguins, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

Impact After being handed a loss in the Stars' Opening Night matchup, Oettinger has responded extremely well, posting back-to-back shutouts in his two most recent outings. The 27-year-old netminder currently has a 2-1-0 record, an 0.67 GAA and a .967 save percentage over 61 shots on net across three outings. He'll look to carry his momentum into Saturday's tough clash against the Penguins, who are currently tied for fifth in the NHL with 4.00 goals per game to begin the new season. Regardless, Oettinger should be started with confidence in all fantasy formats in Saturday's matchup.

Sam Steel - Puts away goal in win Steel scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Sabres.

Impact The Stars are still tinkering with line combinations, and the latest adjustment had Steel alongside Wyatt Johnston and Mikko Rantanen to begin Thursday's game. That's a great spot, but it's unclear if Steel will stay there in the long run. He's a versatile forward who can fit in all over the lineup. He has two points, seven shots on net, three hits and a plus-2 rating over four appearances.

Roope Hintz - Strikes on power play Hintz scored a power-play goal on six shots in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Sabres.

Impact Hintz had the last tally of the game. The center is starting to get going with three points over his last two outings. He's up to nine shots on net, seven hits and a plus-2 rating across four contests. Hintz should continue to see steady top-six usage and power-play time.

Jake Oettinger - Posts 26-save shutout Oettinger stopped all 26 shots he faced in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Sabres.

Impact Oettinger delivered another flawless performance between the pipes, recording a second consecutive shutout while helping Dallas secure a comfortable road victory. Oettinger was beaten four times in the season opener against the Blues, but he's bounced back and has stopped each of the last 39 shots he's faced. Casey DeSmith is a strong backup alternative who can start on any given day, but Oettinger is locked in as the Stars' No. 1 goaltender until further notice.

Jason Robertson - Scores vs. Buffalo Robertson scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Sabres.

Impact Robertson was one of four Dallas players to find the back of the net, joining Mikko Rantanen, Roope Hintz and Sam Steel in the scoring column. His four shots ranked second on the team behind Hintz's six, highlighting his involvement in an efficient offensive showing for Dallas, and he's trending in the right direction. After going pointless in the first two games of the campaign, Robertson has posted three points in his last two games (two goals, one assist). He's also taken four shots in each of his last two appearances after tallying three combined in his first two showings.

Wyatt Johnston - Records three assists Johnston recorded three assists, including one on the power play, and one shot on goal in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Sabres.

Impact Johnston was one of Dallas' primary playmakers, matching Rantanen with three assists while helping the Stars generate offense throughout the contest. The 23-year-old center also won seven of 11 faceoffs, providing a strong all-around contribution in the convincing victory, and he's up to four assists this season. He's lacking in the goals column, though, as he hasn't scored in four appearances despite taking 10 shots on goal.

Mikko Rantanen - Records four points in shutout win Rantanen scored a goal on two shots and added three assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Sabres.

Impact Rantanen factored into all four Dallas goals, delivering a dominant offensive performance despite playing a season-low 15:27. The Finnish winger also finished with a plus-3 rating and contributed three points at even strength, helping Dallas control the game without relying heavily on its power play. His chemistry with Wyatt Johnston was particularly productive, as the pair combined for seven points. Rantanen went pointless in the season-opening loss to the Blues, but he's turned things around with six points (two goals, four helpers) in his last three outings.
