Kyle Capobianco - NHL News & Rumors

Out at least one week Capobianco (leg) is undergoing an MRI and is expected to miss at least a week, Robert Tiffin of NHL.com reports Wednesday.

Impact Head coach Glen Gulutzan doesn't believe Capobianco is going to be out long-term, but ultimately, the MRI should give Dallas more information. The 29-year-old Capobianco has no points, four PIM, two hits and three blocks in five appearances this season. Dallas is down to three healthy defensemen, so the Stars are likely to promote a blueliner from the AHL before Thursday's game against Montreal.

Re-ups with Dallas Capobianco signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract with the Stars on Wednesday.

Impact Capobianco's deal is a one-way contract in both seasons, giving him stable money even if he ends up in the AHL at some point. He is the eighth blueliner the Stars have under contract for 2026-27 at this point in the offseason. The 28-year-old logged five points, 18 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and 12 hits over 33 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, but he didn't play during the Stars' first-round playoff exit against the Wild.

Squeezed out of lineup Capobianco was scratched for the eighth consecutive game in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Oilers.

Impact Capobianco went 10 games without a point prior to this run in the press box. The Stars beefed up their blue line at the trade deadline, picking up Tyler Myers from the Canucks while also getting Lian Bichsel back from an injury. Capobianco may mix in occasionally, but with Dallas carrying nine blueliners on the NHL roster, there's not a lot of room for him to play regularly. He has five points, 26 blocked shots, 17 shots on net and 12 hits over 31 appearances this season.

Finds twine Saturday Capobianco scored a goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.

Impact Capobianco has been on the short end of a part-time role lately, as Saturday was just his third appearance in the last 12 games. That decrease in playing time has come from the return of Nils Lundkvist, and the fact that the Stars are missing just Lian Bichsel (lower body) on the blue line currently. The 28-year-old Capobianco is now at two goals, five points, 13 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 21 appearances. He's been fine as a third-pairing option when pressed into action, and he'll likely compete with Alex Petrovic for playing time moving forward.

Scores in overtime loss Capobianco scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Impact Capobianco has played a larger role than expected this year, and he's delivering results currently. All four of his points this season have come over the last six games, part of a stretch of nine straight contests in the lineup as the Stars navigate a tough stretch of injuries on the blue line. The 28-year-old defenseman has added seven shots on net, four hits, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating across 12 appearances.

Gets first point of season Capobianco notched an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames.

Impact Capobianco had the secondary helper on Jason Robertson's third-period tally. While Ilya Lyubushkin (undisclosed), Thomas Harley (lower body) and Nils Lundkvist (lower body) are all out, Capobianco should continue to see steady third-pairing usage for the cap-strapped Stars. Capobianco's assist Saturday was his first point in seven outings, and he's added three shots on net, three hits, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating.

Even if Capobianco does make the Opening Night roster, he almost certainly will serve primarily as the club's seventh blueliner.
