Stars' Esa Lindell: Finds scoresheet twice in win

One of Lindell's helpers came with Dallas enjoying a 5-on-4 power play. His other came at even strength, with Lindell leading all skaters with 22:28 TOI. The two points were the defenseman's first in his last six games and should give him confidence heading into Game 5, set for Saturday in Nashville.

Stars' Esa Lindell: Rare goal in commanding win

This was Lindell's first tally in 14 games, though the Finn skated to a plus-7 rating over that span to complement 28 hits and 30 blocked shots over 24:06 of ice time. With that much rink run, Lindell's bound to crack the scoresheet every now and then, but the rearguard is starting a career-high 58.7 percent of his 5-on-5 shifts in the defensive zone, limiting his fantasy prospects.

Stars' Esa Lindell: Picks up two more points in win

Both of Lindell's assists -- his 18th and 19th helpers of the season -- were of the primary variety, and they give the defenseman 28 points through 61 games. It's the third time in the month of February that Lindell has found the scoresheet twice in the same game. The 24-year-old led all skaters with 25:08 of ice time Thursday.

Stars' Esa Lindell: Tallies two points

The 24-year-old only had one point in the last six games coming into the night, but he's been a prolific scorer overall this season. He has nine goals and 26 points, including six on the power play. Lindell has already reached a career-high mark in goals and is two points shy of a new personal best in points.

Stars' Esa Lindell: Workhorse in win

The Finland native was outstanding in a workhorse roll, notching his first goal since Jan. 17. Lindell was solid on the defensive end as well, blocking two shots and was a plus-2. The 24-year-old also saw 1:45 of ice time on the power play, his highest in the past nine games. Lindell is trending towards a nice two-way defenseman in all fantasy formats.
