Esa Lindell - Snags assist in overtime loss Lindell produced an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Lindell ended a six-game point drought with his helper on Matt Duchene's game-tying goal in the third period. The 30-year-old Lindell has continued to see heavy minutes in the absence of Miro Heiskanen (knee), though Lindell often gets more defensive assignments. He's up to 21 points, 85 shots on net, 141 blocked shots and a plus-31 rating over 66 appearances in a top-four role.

Roope Hintz - Tallies helper in return Hintz dished out an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Hintz's return from a face injury was highlighted by an assist on linemate Jason Robertson's goal to open scoring Sunday. With the goal, Hintz is up to 28 assists, 53 points and 132 shots on net in 60 appearances this season. It's an encouraging sign to see Hintz slot back into Dallas' top line and produce after his two-game absence. He should likely contend to finish around his point total of 65 from a season ago. He has solid value in all fantasy formats while centering both of the Stars' top units.

Mavrik Bourque - Tallies goal Sunday Bourque scored a goal and dished out four hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss in overtime against Colorado.

Impact Bourque's tally was the first of two goals Dallas would score in a 20-second span in the third period. After Sunday's goal, the 23-year-old forward eclipsed the 10-goal threshold on the season and has 21 points overall in 60 games. His potential in fantasy is limited with his role on the Stars' fourth line, but his goal in a game against a division rival shows a glimpse of what Bourque could become in the NHL.

Matt Duchene - Finds twine Sunday Duchene scored a goal and tallied four shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Duchene's tally late in the third period was not only the second of two goals in a 20-second span but would also hold as the tying goal and send the game to overtime. The 34-year-old center is up to 26 goals, 67 points and 122 shots on net across 66 games this season. Duchene has been excellent since the beginning of February with eight goals and 18 points in his last 13 games. He has been a steady source of offense all season long and is a large part as to why Dallas' top nine is one of the league's best. Duchene has already passed his point total from last season and has a legitimate chance to reach the 80-point mark for the second time in his 16-year career. He is a must-start in fantasy for the playoffs.

Jason Robertson - Lights the lamp Sunday Robertson tallied the opening goal in Sunday's 4-3 loss in overtime to the Avalanche.

Impact Robertson found the back of the net in just over four minutes of Sunday's contest off feeds from linemates Roope Hintz and Mikko Rantanen. Overall, Robertson is up to 29 goals, 67 points and 180 shots on net in 66 contests this season. Besides failing to find the scoresheet Friday against the Jets, Robertson has been on fire since the 4 Nations Face-Off with 16 points in 10 games. With an incredible cast of skaters surrounding him, he is in a great place to produce in the upcoming fantasy playoffs in most leagues. Robertson should contend to reach or surpass his point total of 80 from a season ago.

Mikko Rantanen - Tallies assist in return to Denver Rantanen registered an assist and added two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to Colorado.

Impact Rantanen's return to Denver might not have resulted in a win, but he played strong offensively with an assist on linemate Jason Robertson's goal to open scoring Sunday. The 28-year-old Rantanen now has 45 assists, 74 points and 185 shots on net in 66 games this season. He has four points in his four games with the Stars and has slotted in nicely alongside Robertson and Roope Hintz on the top line for Dallas. Rantanen ranks 13th in the league in points and should provide top-tier value in fantasy for the rest of the season. He might not be on pace for another 100-point campaign, but Rantanen is certainly within reach to cash in another 85-90-point season.
