How to watch Stars face off vs. Pittsburgh Penguins as Dallas looks to keep rolling The Stars have won seven straight games and are coming off a 5-1 rout of the Predators.
Magnus Chrona - Re-signs Friday Chrona signed a one-year, two-way contract with Nashville on Friday for the 2025-26 campaign.
Impact Chrona has a 2.87 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 29 appearances with AHL Milwaukee in 2024-25. He's expected to start next season in the minors, but he might see time with Nashville if a Predators goaltender gets hurt during the campaign. The 24-year-old Chrona has yet to make his NHL debut.

Nick Blankenburg - Pockets assist Thursday Blankenburg notched an assist in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Stars.
Impact Blankenburg has four helpers over his last eight contests, including two on the power play. The 26-year-old defenseman has handled top-pairing minutes for the better part of a month now in the absence of Roman Josi (upper body). Blankenburg has matched his career high of 14 points from the 2022-23 campaign with the Blue Jackets. He's added 76 shots on net, 67 blocked shots, 48 hits and a plus-6 rating over 54 outings in 2024-25.

Steven Stamkos - Tallies lone goal in loss Stamkos scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Stars.
Impact Stamkos ended a five-game point drought, as well as a seven-game stretch without a goal, when he opened the scoring at 4:37 of the second period. That was all Jake Oettinger gave up, and the Stars rallied in the third to take the win. Stamkos is now at 24 goals, 46 points, 161 shots on net, 64 hits, 44 PIM, 41 blocked shots and a minus-31 rating over 76 appearances in a disappointing first season in Nashville.

Jason Robertson - Dishes pair of assists Robertson notched two assists, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.
Impact This was Robertson's fourth multi-point effort over his last five contests. In that span, he has four goals and five assists. The winger had a hand in goals by Roope Hintz and Lian Bichsel in Thursday's win. Robertson is up to 77 points (33 goals, 44 assists), 199 shots on net, 55 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 75 outings this season as a reliable top-line producer.

Lian Bichsel - Buries goal Thursday Bichsel scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.
Impact Bichsel tacked on a goal at 12:42 of the third period to produce the final score. He has two points, a plus-4 rating, 17 PIM and 16 hits across his last five contests. The 20-year-old is doing fine in a limited role on the third pairing, earning seven points, 31 shots on net, 132 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-6 rating across 32 appearances. Offense probably won't be his calling card in the long run, but he's shaping up to be a physically intimidating bottom-four option who can take care of business in his own zone.

Mikael Granlund - Nets equalizer Thursday Granlund scored a goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.
Impact Granlund extended his point streak to four games (three goals, two assists) when he tied the game at 1-1 late in the second period. That set the stage for the Stars' comeback win. Granlund is up to 18 points in 24 outings with Dallas, and he's earned a total of 21 goals, 63 points, 160 shots on net, 53 hits, 57 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 76 appearances this season when accounting for his time with the Sharks. This is the fifth time he's exceeded the 60-point mark in his career.
