Adds helper in win Lyubushkin generated an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Jets in Game 1.

Impact Lyubushkin remains warm on offense with three assists over his last four games. That's all of his point production this postseason, to go with nine shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-5 rating across eight outings.

Impact Lyubushkin helped out on Mikko Rantanen's goal at 7:49 of the third period, which ignited the Stars' comeback.

Lyubushkin's minutes are likely to be reduced once Miro Heiskanen (knee) returns.

Impact Lyubushkin ended an 11-game point drought with the helper when he assisted on Evgenii Dadonov's third goal of the contest.

Manages helper in win Lyubushkin notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Lyubushkin was on the wrong side of the highlight reel in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers, as he got humbled on a one-on-one play against Connor McDavid as part of a minus-3 performance. Lyubushkin bounced back well, helping out on a Thomas Harley tally to open the scoring Sunday. Through 62 contests, Lyubushkin has 13 points, 39 shots on net, 71 hits, 101 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating this season. He'll never be a big scorer, but he hasn't thrown the body around enough in 2024-25 to justify a roster spot in most fantasy formats despite being two points shy of matching his career high from 2021-22.

Returns to Sunday's game Lyubushkin (upper body) returned to Sunday's game against the Blues in the second period, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Lyubushkin sustained an upper-body injury on his first shift Sunday, and he was deemed questionable to return. However, he wasn't forced to miss much time, signaling that it doesn't seem as though he's dealing with a significant issue.
