Stars' Jake Oettinger: Drawing Game 3 start
Oettinger will start Game 3 on the road against Minnesota on Wednesday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Oettinger will be in the crease for a third consecutive game to begin the Stars' first-round series. He struggled in Game 1, allowing five goals on 28 shots en route to a 6-1 loss, but he was more effective in Game 2 on Monday, turning aside 28 of 30 shots in a 4-2 victory. He'll attempt to build upon his momentum as the series shifts to Minnesota on Wednesday.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Doubtful for Game 4
Hintz (lower body) is doubtful for Game 4 against Minnesota on Saturday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Sports reports.
While there's a chance that Hintz will join the team ahead of Saturday's matchup, he won't accompany his teammates to Minnesota for Game 3 on Wednesday. He has been out since getting injured against Colorado on March 6. According to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News, the Stars hope Hintz will be an option for Game 5 against the Wild next Tuesday.

Stars' Nathan Bastian: Skating with team
Bastian (hand) will travel with the team in order to start skating, but won't be available until the next round, at the earliest, Robert Tiffin of D Magazine reports.
Bastian was already likely to be out until early May based on his original 3-4 week recovery timeline. The winger has been on the shelf since March 28 versus the Penguins. Even once given the all-clear, the Ontario native is far from a lock to get into the lineup and could serve as a healthy scratch periodically.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Logs pair of assists
Lundkvist notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 2.
Lundkvist, who signed a two-year contract extension on the eve of the playoffs, is filling a bottom-four role on the blue line to begin the postseason. This was his first multi-point outing since Opening Night against the Jets. He's had limited postseason experience, picking up just one assist over 12 playoff outings in his career. Lundkvist had 11 points, 46 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 52 regular-season contests this year.

Stars' Jason Robertson: Scores in Game 2 win
Robertson scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.
Robertson enjoyed an excellent regular season with 45 goals and 96 points while playing in every single game, and so far, he's scored in both of Dallas' postseason games. The star winger should continue to be one of the Stars' primary offensive weapons while skating on the second line next to Matt Duchene and Mavrik Bourque.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Scores, assists vs. Minnesota
Duchene recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.
Duchene gave the Stars a 2-1 lead in the second period with a power-play tally from close range following a set-up from Mikko Rantanen, and he later participated in the build-up of Jason Robertson's goal in the third frame. These were Duchene's first two points in the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs, and he figures to remain heavily involved in the Stars' offensive scheme due to his top-six role, as well as being a playmaking threat in the power play.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Pots two goals Monday
Johnston scored two goals, including an empty-netter on the power play, in Monday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.
Johnston broke the deadlock for the Stars midway through the first period with a slap shot, and he'd later close out the scoring in the final minute when Minnesota was pushing for a late equalizer to send the game to overtime. Johnston had 45 goals and 86 points in 82 regular-season contests, and he's backing that up in the playoffs with three points (two goals, an assist) in his first two postseason contests.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Beaten twice in Game 2 win
Oettinger stopped 28 of 30 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.
Oettinger was the main reason the first period ended in a 1-1 tie, as he made several huge stops that proved critical to the final outcome of this contest. He had a better performance than his Game 1 showing, where he gave up five goals on 28 shots for an .821 save percentage. Oettinger should remain between the pipes for Dallas in Game 3 in Minnesota on Wednesday.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Remains unavailable
Hintz (lower body) won't play in Game 3 against Minnesota on Wednesday, per Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports.
Hintz hasn't been skating and has been out since March 6 against Colorado due to the injury. It remains unclear when he will return to the lineup. Hintz concluded the 2025-26 regular season with 15 goals, 44 points, 126 shots on net and 60 hits in 53 appearances.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: In goal for Game 2
Oettinger will patrol the crease at home for Game 2 against Minnesota, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.
Oettinger was shelled in Game 1, giving up five goals on 28 shots (.821 save percentage) in a 6-1 defeat. During the regular season, the 27-year-old backstop went 35-12-6 with a 2.59 GAA and four shutouts in 54 appearances. Even with the poor performance in Game 1, Oettinger is unlikely to see himself dropped from the starting role in favor of Casey DeSmith.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Pockets power-play assist
Heiskanen registered a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Wild in Game 1.
Heiskanen missed the last three games of the regular season due to a lower-body injury. He ended the campaign at 63 points, including 28 on the power play, over 77 appearances. Heiskanen will be tasked with heavy minutes throughout the playoffs. In previous postseason runs, Heiskanen has amassed 17 goals and 48 helpers across 93 outings. This is the seventh time in his eight NHL campaigns he's helped the Stars make the playoffs.

Stars' Jason Robertson: Nets lone goal in Game 1 loss
Robertson scored a power-play goal on six shots in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Wild in Game 1.
Robertson was the only Star able to break through against Jesper Wallstedt and the Wild's defense. After a strong regular season with 45 goals and 96 points over 82 contests, Robertson will be looking to lead the Stars' offense in the playoffs. He's had decent success over the last four years in the postseason, earning 18 goals and 26 assists across 56 playoff outings prior to this year.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Routed by Minnesota in Game 1
Oettinger stopped 23 of 28 shots during the Stars' 6-1 loss to the Wild in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series Saturday. Minnesota's final goal was scored into an empty net.
Two of the pucks to get past Oettinger came on Minnesota power plays, and there wasn't much he could do on the other three either, as his defense kept allowing high-danger chances from in close. The 27-year-old netminder had won five straight starts to close out the regular season, including two shutouts, but after Saturday's rout he sports a 2.99 GAA and .869 save percentage over his last 10 outings. Oettinger will look to bounce back in Game 2 on Monday.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Facing Wild in Game 1
Oettinger will protect the home net in Game 1 against Minnesota on Saturday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Sports reports.
Oettinger posted a 35-12-6 record with four shutouts, a 2.59 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 54 games during the 2025-26 regular season. He has faced the Wild four times this campaign, going 2-1-1 while allowing 11 goals on 130 shots.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Good to go Saturday
Heiskanen (lower body) will play in Game 1 against Minnesota on Saturday, according to Sam Nestler of DLLS Sports.
Following a three-game absence, Heiskanen will return to the top pairing and first power-play unit in Saturday's playoff opener. He wrapped up the 2025-26 regular season with nine goals, 63 points, 148 shots on net and 132 blocked shots across 77 appearances.

Stars' Ben Kraws: Recalled from AHL
Kraws was recalled on an emergency basis from AHL Texas on Saturday.
Kraws spent most of the 2025-26 season at ECHL Idaho, posting a 16-12-2 record with a 3.03 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 31 appearances. Kraws saw action in four AHL games with Texas, going 0-3-0 with a 4.34 GAA and an .840 save percentage. The 25-year-old will likely be a practice goaltender, giving Jake Oettinger or Casey DeSmith some time off the day after a playoff game.
