Krys (Achilles) was assigned to AHL Texas on Sunday.
Krys appears ready to see his first game action of the season after starting the 2025-26 campaign on the Stars' non-roster injured reserve list. The 25-year-old defenseman had three goals and 17 points in 61 games for AHL Texas during the 2024-25 regular season.

Stars' Jamie Benn: Being evaluated
Rotowire
Benn (upper body) left Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to Montreal, and there was no update on his status following the contest, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Benn fell awkwardly in the third period, and his face went hard into the ice. He was bleeding and needed help to get to the locker room. Benn has to be evaluated further by the Stars, making it unclear at the moment if he will miss additional time. He has seven goals and 14 points in 23 appearances this season.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Oettinger will start Sunday's contest against the Canadiens, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.
In his last start, Oettinger allowed more than three goals for the first time since Nov. 8 against the Predators when he surrendered four in a 4-3 loss to Chicago. The 27-year-old is 16-7-3 with a 2.57 GAA and a .907 save percentage on the season. He'll look to cool off the NHL's sixth-best offense (3.29 goals per game) in the Canadiens as the Stars try to reclaim second place in the Central Division.
Schmidt scored twice on six shots and added two assists in WHL Vancouver's 5-4 loss to Portland on Saturday.
Schmidt reached the 60-point mark on the season with this effort, which saw him involved in each of the Giants' goals. The winger is up to 27 goals and 33 helpers over 39 appearances, including 15 goals and 19 assists during his active 20-game point streak. The Stars prospect continues to dominate the junior ranks, but his small stature will be a challenge to overcome at the professional level.

Rotowire
DeSmith (personal) was granted non-roster status Saturday.
According to Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports, the Stars granted DeSmith a leave of absence to attend to a personal family matter. The 35-year-old DeSmith is off to the best start in his NHL career, posting a 9-2-4 record with a 2.44 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 15 games this season. The Stars recalled Remi Poirier from AHL Texas in a corresponding move.

Rotowire
Poirier was called up from AHL Texas on Saturday.
The Stars designated backup goaltender Casey DeSmith (personal) as a non-roster player in a corresponding move. Poirier has a record of 8-10-4 with a 2.77 GAA and a .903 save percentage across 22 AHL appearances this season. He could see action Tuesday in Carolina or Wednesday in Washington, if DeSmith has not returned to the roster.

Stars' George Fegaras: One of each for Cornell
Rotowire
Fegaras scored a goal and added an assist in Cornell University's 6-4 win over the University of Nebraska-Omaha on Friday.
The goal was Fegaras' first of the season, matching his total from 30 games last year. The Stars prospect has a modest seven points in 12 outings, a pace just barely better than his 14-point campaign in 2024-25. Fegaras was a third-round pick in 2022 but has yet to dramatically improve his prospect standing.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Collects two points in loss
Rotowire
Duchene scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
Duchene has two goals and three assists over his last five outings. The 34-year-old forward is still working on consistency after losing a larger chunk of the campaign to an upper-body injury. He's produced seven points, 20 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a minus-2 rating across 16 appearances so far while mainly featuring in the middle six.

Stars' Jason Robertson: Goal, assist in loss
Rotowire
Robertson scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
Robertson has four goals and four helpers over his last six games. The 26-year-old earned both points late in the third period as the Stars made a comeback effort that came up one goal short. Robertson is up to 24 goals, 24 helpers, 159 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-15 rating through 41 appearances this season. He had 80 points in each of the last two regular seasons, but he's on track for a better campaign in 2025-26, though not one quite as good as his career-best 109-point effort in 2022-23.

Stars' Mikko Rantanen: Earns two points in loss
Rotowire
Rantanen scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, went plus-3 and logged two hits in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
Rantanen had a six-game point streak snapped Wednesday, but he bounced right back with his sixth multi-point effort in the last eight contests. Over that span, Rantanen has rattled off three goals and 11 assists. The winger is up to 16 goals, 40 helpers, 99 shots on net, 29 hits, 71 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 40 outings this season. After missing the 100-point mark while splitting time with three teams in 2024-25, Rantanen has found success and stability in his first half of his first full year with the Stars.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Yields four goals in loss
Rotowire
Oettinger allowed four goals on 21 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
Oettinger has allowed seven goals on 54 shots over a pair of losses (0-1-1) to the Blackhawks in the last week. The 27-year-old netminder gave up the first two goals on Chicago power plays, and a misplay led to Ilya Mikheyev's decisive tally early in the third period. Oettinger is down to 16-7-3 with a 2.57 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 26 starts this season. He's been sharing the crease with Casey DeSmith lately, though it wouldn't be surprising to see Oettinger between the pipes for Sunday's matinee game against the Canadiens.
Bourque scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Sabres.
Bourque got the Stars on the board just 15 seconds into the game with a snap shot, but that would be all the offense Dallas would muster throughout the game. Bourque should continue to see opportunities to produce due to his top-six role in the lineup, but he hasn't been at his best lately. He has notched just four points (two goals, two assists) over his last 10 outings.

DeSmith stopped 27 of 31 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Sabres.
DeSmith has been trending in the wrong direction of late, allowing three or more goals in each of his last three starts while dropping his previous two outings. DeSmith remains one of the best backups in the league, but he's trending in the wrong direction of late. He owns a 3-1-1 record, but with a 3.01 GAA and an .894 save percentage over his last five appearances.

McDonald was sidelined for the start of the season due to his knee problem, but he has been in action for AHL Texas' last three games, picking up a pair of helpers. The 23-year-old winger has yet to make his NHL debut but could be in contention for a call-up before the end of the 2025-26 campaign.
