Stars' Arttu Hyry: Sent back to minors
Hyry was reassigned to AHL Texas on Wednesday.
Since Dallas doesn't play again until Thursday's matchup with Montreal, the decision to demote Hyry, along with Matej Blumel, is likely a temporary cap-saving measure. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see both forwards recalled ahead of the clash with the Canadiens.

Stars' Matej Blumel: Returns to AHL
Blumel was sent to AHL Texas on Wednesday.
Blumel has no points, three shots, two hits and a block in three appearances with Dallas in 2024-25. The 24-year-old averaged just 7:01 of ice time in that span, but he plays a far bigger role in the AHL and has 18 goals and 32 points across 32 outings with Texas this season.

Stars' Brendan Smith: Getting short end of playing time
Smith has been scratched for 11 of the Stars' last 12 contests after sitting out Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Smith appears to be on the outside looking in with the Stars' blue line at full health. The 35-year-old defenseman could offer a challenge to Matt Dumba or Nils Lundkvist, but Smith has been middling at best in 2024-25 with three assists, a minus-3 rating, 20 PIM, 19 hits and 13 blocked shots over 16 appearances. Smith is not even guaranteed to be the first blueliner to jump into the lineup, as Dallas has often called up prospect Lian Bichsel to cover injury or illness absences on defense.

Stars' Sam Steel: Bags apple in win
Steel notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and four PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Steel has two helpers over seven contests in January. The 26-year-old forward is seeing steady middle-six minutes for the Stars while they deal with the absences of Mason Marchment (face) and Tyler Seguin (hip). Overall, Steel has 16 points, 49 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-1 rating over 42 appearances. There's nothing flashy about his game, though his overall production is too low for consideration in many fantasy formats.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Power-play helper in win
Harley notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Harley had been held off the scoresheet over the previous three games. The defenseman is up to 22 points (three on the power play), 94 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a plus-22 rating across 41 appearances. There's some fluidity to the Stars' defense pairings, but Harley has been one of the team's top blueliners this season regardless of who he's paired with.

Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Starting to find groove
Bourque scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Bourque has four points over his last five games, and two of those points have come on the power play. His tally Tuesday was also his first career game-winner, as the Stars didn't let the Maple Leafs back in after Bourque's second-period tally. The 23-year-old rookie has four goals, seven assists, 40 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 38 appearances this season.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Three-point night in win
Duchene had a goal and two assists in a 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.
His power-play goal pushed the score to 3-1 early in the third period. These were Duchene's first points in four games, but he has 11 points (four goals, seven assists) across his last nine appearances. He's put up an impressive 17 goals and 24 assists with 77 shots in 43 games this season, and his 55.1 winning percentage at the dot will help. This is the first time Duchene has flirted with a point-per-game pace since 2021-22, and there's no sign of him slowing down.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Sixth straight win
Oettinger made 27 saves in a 4-1 win over Toronto on Tuesday.
Auston Matthews ripped a shot high blocker from the left face-off dot early in the first to open the scoring, but Oettinger shut the door from that point. He was especially strong on special teams, leaving the Leafs power play frustrated twice. Oettinger has won six straight games, and he allowed just 11 goals in that span. Overall, he's 22-9-1 with a 2.31 GAA and a .912 save percentage.

Stars' Logan Stankoven: Snaps 25-game goal drought
Stankoven scored twice and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Toronto.
The bounces finally went his way, and Stankoven was able to end a 25-game goal drought (six assists). Now is a great time to inquire about his availability in a keeper or dynasty trade. Stankoven's hype machine was huge heading into 2024-25, but he scuffled after putting up six goals and 11 assists in his first 16 games. His future remains bright.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Questionable to return
Hintz (upper body) is questionable to finish Tuesday's game versus the Maple Leafs after suffering an injury in the first period.
Hintz logged just four shifts before the injury. The 28-year-old's status is up in the air -- it's encouraging he wasn't ruled out completely. If he doesn't return, he can be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game versus the Canadiens.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Set to start in Toronto
Oettinger will be in the road blue paint versus the Maple Leafs on Tuesday, according to Luke Fox of Sportsnet.
Oettinger is in a groove to start the new calendar year, posting a 4-0-0 record, .914 save percentage and 2.16 GAA through four appearances. Toronto sits 12th in the league with 3.07 goals per game. Oettinger is 0-3-0 against the Leafs in his career.

Stars' Colin Blackwell: Contributes assist Sunday
Blackwell recorded a power-play assist and three hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
Blackwell ended an eight-game point drought with his helper on Evgenii Dadonov's third-period goal. Playing in a bottom-six role often keeps Blackwell away from consistent scoring contributions. Overall, he has nine points, 41 shots on net, 50 hits and a plus-1 rating over 37 appearances this season. Despite the lack of offense, Blackwell is likely to remain in the lineup on a regular basis as a veteran forward.

Stars' Logan Stankoven: Helps out on power play
Stankoven provided a power-play assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
Stankoven is warming up a little with two assists over his last three contests. The 21-year-old has had no luck with finishing lately -- he's on a 25-game goal drought and has come up empty on 65 shots in that span while adding just six helpers. The talented rookie has 20 points, 111 shots on net, 25 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 40 appearances. He'll likely remain in a third-line role, as the Stars have found some success with a more veteran top six in recent weeks.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Garners helper in loss
Hintz notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
Hintz set up Jason Robertson for the opening goal just 4:31 into the game. Playmaking has been hard to come by for Hintz this year -- since the start of December, he has 10 goals and three assists over 20 outings. Overall, the center is at 19 goals, eight helpers, 98 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 41 appearances in his usual top-line role. He's slightly off the pace for a 40-goal season but could get there if he has a hot stretch or two in the second half.

Stars' Jason Robertson: Opens scoring in loss
Robertson scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
Robertson opened the scoring just 4:31 into the game. The Senators replied with a pair of goals early in the second period and held the lead from there. Over his last eight contests, Robertson has four goals, eight assists and 23 shots on net. The 25-year-old looks to be getting back on track after a slow start and now has 11 tallies, 35 points, 106 shots and a plus-3 rating through 42 outings overall.

Stars' Evgenii Dadonov: Earns two points in loss
Dadonov scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
Dadonov has four multi-point efforts over his last nine games. His recent success has been a product of chemistry on the top line with Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz, as all three forwards have turned things around following slow starts. Dadonov is up to 12 goals, 10 helpers, four power-play points, 73 shots on net and a plus-12 rating over 42 appearances this season.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Surrenders three goals in loss
DeSmith allowed three goals on 28 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
Ottawa scored twice in a span of 39 seconds in the second period and had no trouble protecting the lead from that point on. This loss ended DeSmith's run of winning four straight decisions, as well as his five-game streak of allowing two or fewer goals. The 33-year-old netminder is down to 6-5-0 with a 2.32 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 13 outings this season. Jake Oettinger will likely be back between the pipes for Tuesday's road-trip finale in Toronto. The Stars have a back-to-back next weekend -- at Colorado on Saturday and at home versus the Red Wings on Sunday -- so DeSmith shouldn't have to wait long for his next start.
