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.

Spencer Knight - Gets no help in loss to Dallas Knight made 28 saves in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Stars.

Impact The 25-year-old netminder kicked out all 12 shots he faced in the first period to keep Chicago in the game, but the team's defensive issues eventually saddled Knight with another loss. He's started seven of the team's nine games to begin the season, going 3-4-0 with a 3.59 GAA and .888 save percentage, but he could get in the win column a little more often now that Connor Bedard is back on the ice.

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.
