Stars' Mason Marchment: Deemed day-to-day
Marchment (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's Game 3 versus Vegas, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

Stars' Radek Faksa: Labeled day-to-day
Faksa (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's Game 3 clash with Vegas, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.
Faksa has gone pointless in eight straight games, including the Stars' two postseason clashes against the Golden Knights. Ty Dellandrea could see his first ice time since April 6 against Chicago on Saturday if Faksa is officially ruled out.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Returns to NHL
Bourque was called up from AHL Texas on Friday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
The Stars had a pair of injuries Wednesday in Game 2 against the Golden Knights, as Mason Marchment and Radek Faksa each suffered undisclosed injuries. The Stars are down to 12 healthy forwards ahead of Game 3 versus Vegas on Saturday, necessitating the recall of Bourque. Bourque made his NHL debut April 6 in Chicago, managing two shots on goal in 10:56 of ice time. He led the AHL in scoring during the regular season with 77 points and is tied for the early lead in AHL playoff scoring with two goals and two assists in a pair of games.

Stars' Jamie Benn: Helps out on power play
Benn earned a power-play assist and levied seven hits in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2.
Benn has two points, seven shots on net and 11 hits through two playoff contests. The 34-year-old is no stranger to physical play, and his offense hasn't been the problem in the first round -- the Stars have been a little leaky defensively while losing the first two games of the series. Benn has plenty of postseason experience and should be leaned on to lead the team, both with offense and in the locker room.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Grabs power-play helper
Heiskanen logged a power-play assist, four hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2.
Heiskanen set up Jason Robertson's first-period tally. The 24-year-old Heiskanen has earned an assist in each of the first two postseason contests. He's seeing heavy minutes in a top-pairing role and has also chipped in four shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and a minus-4 rating.

Stars' Jason Robertson: Nets lone goal on power play
Robertson scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2.
Robertson's tally opened the scoring in the first period, but he was the only Star to solve Logan Thompson. The 24-year-old Robertson has four goals and an assist over his last six games, including two goals through two playoff outings. He continues to play on the top line and first power-play unit, and the Stars will need him at his best in order to have a chance to crawl out of their 2-0 series hole.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Slips in Game 2
Oettinger stopped 23 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Both goals against Oettinger came with less than two minutes left in a period -- Jonathan Marchessault scored at 18:09 of the first and Noah Hanifin's game-winner was at 18:53 of the second. While it was an improvement from Game 1, it still wasn't good enough from Oettinger, who will now likely get the opportunity to try to guide the Stars out of a 2-0 series deficit. Game 3 is Saturday in Vegas.

Stars' Radek Faksa: Exits Game 2 early
Faksa (undisclosed) left Wednesday's Game 2 versus the Golden Knights, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Faksa was injured late in the third period. The 30-year-old has occupied a fourth-line role through the first two games of the series, and if he can't play Saturday in Game 3, expect Craig Smith to enter the lineup while Sam Steel could take over center duties full time.

Stars' Mason Marchment: Sustains injury in Game 2
Marchment (undisclosed) left Wednesday's Game 2 versus the Golden Knights, and there wasn't an update on his status after the contest, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Marchment was hurt in the third period and did not return. He'll have a couple of days to be evaluated before the series resumes in Vegas on Saturday for Game 3. Marchment has been playing in a second-line role, and Evgenii Dadonov could take that spot if Marchment is forced to miss time.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Set to start vs. Golden Knights
Oettinger is slated to start at home against the Golden Knights in Game 2 on Wednesday, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.
Oettinger will attempt to rebound after allowing four goals on just 15 shots in a 4-3 loss to Vegas on Monday. He was inconsistent in the regular season, finishing with a 35-14-4 record, 2.72 GAA and .905 save percentage in 54 contests. Oettinger also had a tough time versus the Golden Knights during the 2023 playoffs, stopping 143 of 163 shots (.877 save percentage) over the course of that six-game series.

Stars' Jani Hakanpaa: Out Wednesday
Hakanpaa (lower body) is expected to miss Game 2 versus Vegas on Wednesday, according to Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest.
Hakanpaa hasn't played since March 16 due to the injury. He had two goals, 12 points, 33 PIM, 196 hits and 123 blocks in 64 appearances during the regular season. Once Hakanpaa is healthy, he might replace Nils Lundkvist in the lineup.

Stars' Logan Stankoven: Produces first playoff point
Stankoven provided an assist and fired two shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1.
Stankoven's goal drought is up to 13 games, but he made an unselfish play after forcing a turnover in the first period, setting up Jason Robertson for the goal. The 21-year-old Stankoven put up 14 points over 24 regular-season outings in a middle-six role, one he'll likely remain in throughout the playoffs.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Puts up assist in loss
Heiskanen recorded an assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1.
Heiskanen set up Mason Marchment's third-period tally. The 24-year-old Heiskanen took a step back on offense in 2023-24 with 54 points over 71 outings during the regular season compared to 73 points in 79 games a year ago. He remains the Stars' top defenseman, and he'll likely see even more ice time in the playoffs after averaging 24:32 per game during the regular season.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Adds assist in loss
Johnston posted an assist in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1.
Johnston set up Jamie Benn's breakaway tally in the first period. Johnston had six points over 19 playoff outings a year ago, and he built on that experience with 32 goals and 33 helpers over 82 regular-season contests this year. The 20-year-old should continue to provide solid offense from a middle-six role.

Benn scored a goal on seven shots and added three hits in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1.
Benn got loose on a breakaway sprung by Wyatt Johnston's pass, and it resulted in the Stars' first goal of the game. The 34-year-old Benn had 21 goals, 39 helpers, 164 shots on net and 110 hits in another solid regular season despite seeing regular third-line usage. He'll continue in that role in the postseason while seeing time on the top power-play unit, where he earned 22 of his 60 points during the regular season.
