Bastian will draw back into Dallas' lineup in Edmonton on Tuesday.

With Mikko Rantanen serving a one-game suspension, Bastian will draw into the Stars' lineup on Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 27-year-old Bastian has one point (1G / 0A) in 15 games this season and will likely suit up on the Stars' fourth line.

The Stars signed Nathan Bastian to a one-year deal worth $775K AAV.

Bastian provides very little offence, combining for just 37 points (15G / 22A) in 156 games over the last three seasons with the Devils, but he brings plenty of physicality. Bastian ranked 29th in the NHL in Hits/60 (min 500 TOI) last season and 26th in Hits/60 (min 1500) in the last three seasons. As a team, Dallas was second-last in the NHL in hits in 2024-25.
