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.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen - Beaten four times Thursday Luukkonen allowed four goals on 18 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Stars.
Impact Luukkonen endured a difficult outing, finishing with just 14 saves and a .778 save percentage as Buffalo failed to generate any offensive support. Dallas capitalized on its limited chances, and Luukkonen's early-season numbers are concerning. He's yet to post a save percentage above .800 in any of his three starts and has gone 1-2-0 with a .782 save percentage and 4.02 GAA thus far. Given Luukkonen's early-season woes, it wouldn't be surprising if Colton Ellis is in line to see more playing time in the near future.
