Closing in on return Faksa (lower body) won't be an option against the Flames on Tuesday but is nearing a return to action, Brien Rea of Victory+ reports.

Impact Faksa has started skating and is ahead of his initial recovery timeline, which means he should be ready to play again in the regular season. Considering the forward is mired in a 13-game goal drought during which he has registered just one assist, few fantasy managers figure to be impacted by his eventual return.

Sustains new injury during rehab Faksa sustained a lower-body injury while rehabbing his upper-body injury sustained during the Olympics, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports Friday.

Impact Faksa is now expected to be out until near the end of the regular season. The Stars added Michael Bunting ahead of the trade deadline, but Faksa's ongoing absence should help Oskar Back and Colin Blackwell maintain steady roles in the lineup for a while.

Moves to IR Faksa (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Faksa probably won't be available to play against Seattle on Wednesday, but he is eligible to come off the IR list whenever he is healthy. Still, it's unclear when he will return to the lineup after sustaining the injury during the 2026 Winter Olympics. He has contributed two goals, 17 points, 33 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and 75 hits in 56 appearances this season.

Questionable for Wednesday's game Faksa (upper body) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Seattle, Brien Rea of Victory+ reports.

Impact Faksa suffered an upper-body injury while playing for Czechia at the 2026 Winter Olympics, forcing him to miss the team's final two games. While it's not yet clear whether he'll be available against the Kraken, his questionable status suggests that he may not be forced to miss extensive time even if he's sidelined Wednesday.

Will remain sidelined Wednesday Faksa (upper body) will not be an option for Czechia's quarterfinals matchup versus Canada on Wednesday in the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Faksa will remain unavailable for a second straight game -- he missed Tuesday's 3-2 win over Denmark in the qualifying round. Barring a miraculous upset over the Canadians, Faksa won't be in action until at least Feb. 25, when the Stars resume play against the Kraken.

Won't suit up for Czechia Faksa (upper body) is not available for Czechia against Denmark in Tuesday's qualification matchup at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Faksa was deemed questionable Monday after sustaining his upper-body injury during Sunday's 4-3 loss to Switzerland. If the Czechs emerge victorious Tuesday, it's a possibility Faksa will battle through his injury and suit up versus the Canadians on Wednesday in the quarterfinals.

Questionable for Tuesday Faksa (undisclosed) is questionable for Tuesday's qualification matchup against Denmark at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Faksa sustained the injury near the end of Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to Switzerland. He has contributed two assists through three games at the tournament.

Two assists Friday Faksa recorded two assists in Czech Republic's 6-3 win over France in the 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday.

Impact Faksa didn't find the back of the net, but he was involved in two of the team's six goals. He plays a bottom-six role for the Stars, one of the top teams in the NHL, but he might be a bit more involved for the Czech side when they take on Switzerland on Sunday,

Opens scoring with shortie Faksa scored a shorthanded goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.

Impact Faksa cashed in a shorthanded tally at 3:06 of the first period to open the scoring. It ended 39-game goal drought for the veteran forward, who still managed a decent 14 assists in that span. He's at 16 points (three shorthanded), 27 shots on net, 55 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 43 outings as a defensive stalwart in the Stars' bottom six. He's also already surpassed the 15-point output he put forth in 70 regular-season contests with the Blues last year.

Adds two assists Faksa notched two assists, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 8-3 win over the Ducks.

Impact Faksa has four helpers over his last five games. The 31-year-old helped out on goals by linemates Oskar Back (shorthanded) and Adam Erne. Faksa remains a quality defensive center, but any bursts of offense are likely to remain fairly short and sporadic. He's at 14 points (one goal, 13 assists) with 18 shots on net, 43 hits, 26 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 35 outings this season.

Posts pair of helpers Faksa notched two assists and two hits in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Oilers.

Impact Faksa helped out on both of Nathan Bastian's goals in this contest. The 31-year-old Faksa has six helpers over his last six games, which is excellent production for a fourth-line forward. It won't last at that level, but he's been steady with 10 points, 11 shots on net, 33 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 22 appearances this season.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Three helpers against Habs Faksa churned out three assists in Thursday's 7-0 win over Montreal.

Impact The 31-year-old had just two helpers in total over his prior 12 games, but Faksa broke out of that skid with his first multi-point performance of the campaign. A repeat seems unlikely for the checking-line center however, as Faksa hasn't delivered more than 20 points in a season since 2018-19.
