McDonald (knee) was placed on non-roster injured reserve Monday.
General manager Jim Nill revealed in September that McDonald would be sidelined until at least November after undergoing ACL surgery, so the 23-year-old's IR designation isn't particularly surprising. Once he's healthy, he'll presumably head back to AHL Texas after making 43 regular-season appearances with the minor-league club last year.

Stars' Kyle McDonald: Sidelined until at least November
Rotowire
General manager Jim Nill said Wednesday that McDonald will be out until at least November after undergoing ACL surgery, Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports reports.
McDonald hasn't yet appeared in an NHL game, but he recorded six goals, three assists and 29 PIM over 43 regular-season appearances with AHL Texas last year. He'll miss the start of the 2025-26 season following his procedure, and he'll likely head back to the AHL once he's healthy.

Stars' Kyle McDonald: Promoted from AHL
Rotowire
McDonald was called up from AHL Texas on Saturday.
McDonald has only three goals and two assists in 31 AHL games with Texas this season. The Stars are down to only 12 healthy forwards, so McDonald is likely to be a healthy scratch Sunday against Columbus, barring an injury up front.
