Nils Lundkvist - NHL News & Rumors

Pots goal Monday Lundkvist scored a goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Impact Lundkvist's tally tied the game at 2-2 late in the second period. The 25-year-old was limited to two helpers, 17 shots on net, 10 hits and 11 blocked shots over 15 outings in January. For the season, he's put up three goals, four assists, 27 shots, 29 blocks, 21 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 29 appearances. He's filling a bottom-four role and is rarely involved in special teams, so Lundkvist has limited fantasy appeal.

Impact Lundkvist is dealing with a whole host of injuries including a lower-body injury that he's playing with as of late. None of these injuries are a concern though as both will practice on Tuesday ahead of the Stars' next game Wednesday.

Impact Lundkvist scored a goal in the contest, but he wasn't able to finish the game. Nestler reported that Lundkvist seemed fine despite missing his media availability after the game, so he can be considered on the probable side of day-to-day for Wednesday's contest versus the Sabres. He's up to four points in 12 outings this season.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • Associated Press

Ready for return Lundkvist has been activated off of long-term injured reserve by the Stars and will likely play Sunday, the team announced.

Impact Reinforcements are coming for the Stars, who also activated Matt Duchene (upper body) from LTIR. Lundkvist has been out of the lineup with a lower-body injury since early October, playing in only four games. In those contests, he recorded three points (one goal, two assists). The 25-year-old will provide a needed boost to the Dallas defense corps, still without Thomas Harley (lower body) and Lian Bichsel (lower body).

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Considered day-to-day Lundkvist (lower body) was labeled day-to-day by head coach Glen Gulutzan and could return as early as Tuesday's matchup with Winnipeg, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Impact Based on his timeline, Lundkvist won't be an option for the Stars' next two outings, but he certainly seems to be trending in the right direction. With Thomas Harley (lower body) on a similar timeline, both Kyle Capobianco and Vladislav Kolyachonok could be headed back to the minors when Lundkvist is cleared to come off long-term injured reserve.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to LTIR Lundkvist (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Sunday, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

Impact In corresponding moves, the Stars also recalled Kyle Capobianco from AHL Texas and activated Oskar Back (undisclosed) from injured reserve. Lundkvist is week-to-week and has missed the last four games. He won't be eligible to play until at least Nov. 11 against Ottawa, but it's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup.

OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed week-to-week Lundkvist (lower body) will be placed on injured reserve and is week-to-week, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News on Monday.

Impact As expected, Lundkvist will miss additional time after sitting out Saturday's 3-1 loss to St. Louis. However, it remains unclear when he will be available to return. Ilya Lyubushkin will probably stay in the lineup until Lundkvist is healthy.

OCTOBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to miss some time Lundkvist (lower body) is expected to be "out for a little bit," head coach Glen Gulutzan told Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars on Saturday.

Impact Lundkvist missed Saturday's 3-1 loss to St. Louis, and it sounds like that won't be the extent of his time on the shelf. The 25-year-old has a goal and three points in four outings this year. Ilya Lyubushkin will probably play regularly while Lundkvist is unavailable.

Sitting out Saturday Lundkvist (lower body) won't suit up Saturday versus the Blues, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

Impact Lundkvist was a game-time decision but appears unable to play after sustaining the injury Thursday versus the Canucks. Ilya Lyubushkin will draw back into the lineup to replace Lundkvist, who will try to get healthy in time for Tuesday's contest versus the Blue Jackets.

OCTOBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Lundkvist (lower body) will be a game-time decision against the Blues on Saturday, per Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars.

Impact Lundkvist didn't participate in Friday's practice after logging a season-low 11:18 of ice time in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Vancouver. He has produced one goal, two assists, two shots on net, five blocked shots and three hits over four games this season.

OCTOBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers lower-body injury Lundkvist suffered a lower-body injury Thursday versus Vancouver, Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.

Impact Lundkvist will be looked at by the medical staff Friday after he played only 11:18 and may be questionable for Saturday's contest in St. Louis. The 25-year-old defenseman got off to a great start with a goal and two assists in his first two games, but he was held off the scoresheet in his last two appearances. Ilya Lyubushkin should enter the lineup if Lundkvis is unable to go.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in season opener Lundkvist had a goal, an assist, two shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's win over the Jets.

Impact Lundkvist made the most of his playing time Thursday and cracked the scoresheet twice, finding the twine in the latter stages of the first period and then setting up Wyatt Johnston's goal in the third frame. Lundkvist isn't expected to produce at this rate on a steady basis, though. He didn't score a single goal and only had five points in 39 regular-season showings in 2024-25, This was just the 10th goal of his five-year NHL career.
