Seguin tore his ACL on December 2nd and missed the final 55 games of the 2025-26 season. He finished the season with 17 points (7G / 10A) in 27 games, giving him 38 points (16G / 22A) in just 47 games over the last two injury-filled seasons.
After a poor opening game of the series against the Minnesota Wild, allowing five goals on 28 shots (.821 SV%) in a 6-1 loss, Oettinger has rebounded by posting a solid 2.30 GAA and .916 SV% in his following four games (2-2). That said, down 3-2, the Stars likely need Oettinger's best performance of the series if they hope to play a Game Seven. Dallas enters Game Six on Thursday as slight +110 road underdogs.

Hyry saw just three and a half minutes of ice time before exiting Game 5 with a lower-body injury and did not return. The 25-year-old Hyry had five points (3G / 2A) in 20 regular season games with Dallas and impressed by winning 57.9 percent of faceoffs. Michael Bunting will enter the lineup as Hyry's replacement.
Arttu Hyry (lower body) will not play in Game Six, allowing Bunting to enter the lineup for his 2025-26 postseason debut. Bunting was acquired by the Stars at the trade deadline but struggled to acclimate to their style of play, scoring just two points (1G/1A) in 13 games during the season. That said, the Stars have struggled offensively this series and hope that Bunting, a two-time 20-goal scorer, can add a spark.
Tyler Myers will be a healthy scratch in Game Six, allowing Petrovic to enter the lineup for his 2025-26 postseason debut. The 34-year-old Petrovic averaged 15:21 time-on-ice and had 10 points (2G / 8A) in 54 games this season.
Myers has struggled this postseason and will be replaced in Game Six by Alex Petrovic. The 36-year-old Myers is averaging 19:41 time-on-ice, recording four penalty minutes and a -5 plus/minus through five games this postseason.
Hyry saw just three and a half minutes of ice time before exiting Game 5 with a lower-body injury and did not return. The 25-year-old Hyry had five points (3G / 2A) in 20 regular season games with Dallas and impressed by winning 57.9 percent of faceoffs.
With Nils Lundkvist (upper body) out for Game 5, Lyubushkin will draw into the lineup for his postseason debut. The 32-year-old Lyubushkin spent portions of the season playing alongside Thomas Harley and will likely suit up next to him when he enters the lineup. In 53 games this season, Lyubushkin averaged 15:44 time-on-ice and scored nine points (1G / 8A).
After an ugly Game One, allowing five goals on 28 shots (.821 SV%) in a 6-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild, Oettinger has rebounded with three consecutive impressive outings. The 27-year-old goalie saved 40 shots (.930 SV%) on Saturday and was tremendous, especially in overtime, but eventually allowed the game-deciding goal in a 3-2 loss to even the series at 2-2. In his last three games, Oettinger has a 2.07 GAA and .924 SV%. The Stars enter a crucial Game Five on Tuesday as -126 home favourites.
Lundkvist suffered a deep facial laceration after an awkward play resulted in Minnesota's Michael McCarron's skate making contact with his face. The 25-year-old Lundkvist was bloodied and left the game immediately after, and has been ruled out for Game Five. After a couple of seasons of not being trusted by the coaching staff, Lundkvist has emerged as a viable second-pair defenseman for Dallas, and his absence from the lineup will create an imbalance on the Stars' blueline.
Lundkvist took a scary skate high in the second period and was forced to leave Game 4 vs. Dallas. The 25-year-old has enjoyed an impressive playoffs so far, with two assists through four games played.
Despite having a 2.85 GAA and .889 SV% through three games, Jake Oettinger has led the Dallas Stars to an early 2-1 series lead and will yet again take the crease for Game 4 on Saturday. The 27-year-old won 35 games for a fourth straight season in 2025-26, posting a 35-12-6 record with a 2.59 GAA and .899 SV%. He heads to Minnesota to take on the Wild for Game 4, who have only scored 5 goals in their last two games after sneaking six goals by Oettinger in Game 1.
After a dreadful Game One performance, allowing five goals on 28 shots (.821 SV%) in a blowout 6-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild, Oettinger silenced critics in Game Two, saving 28 of 30 shots (.933 SV%) in a 4-2 win to even the series at 1-1. The 27-year-old Oettinger is seemingly following his postseason script from a year ago, when he opened the playoffs by allowing four goals on 24 shots (.833 SV%) in a blowout 5-1 Game One loss to the Colorado Avalanche before rebounding with a 2.63 GAA and .920 SV% in his next six games (4-2) to ultimately win the series. The Stars enter Game Three as +112 road underdogs.
Hintz has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since March 6th and is questionable to play at all during Round 1 of the playoffs. As of Sunday, Hintz had not yet started skating on his own according to Head Coach Glen Gulutzan, indicating he is likely not that close to returning.
Coming off arguably the worst regular season of his career, posting a 2.59 GAA and an ugly .899 SV% in 54 games (35-12-6), Oettinger began his postseason with a forgetful performance, allowing five goals on 28 shots (.821 SV%) in a blowout 6-1 Game One loss to the Minnesota Wild. That said, if history is an indicator, the Stars will be hopeful that Oettinger can repeat his postseason performance from a year ago. Last year, Oettinger opened the playoff by allowing four goals on 24 shots (.833 SV%) in a blowout 5-1 Game One loss to the Colorado Avalanche, but rebounded by posting a 2.63 GAA and .920 SV% in his next four games (4-2) to ultimately win the series. The Stars enter Game Two against Minnesota as -128 home favourites.
Arttu Hyry will draw into the Stars' lineup on Monday, sending Erne to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 31-year-old Erne recorded a -1 plus/minus and two hits in 8:07 time-on-ice in Saturday's Game One loss to Minnesota.
Adam Erne will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Hyry to enter the lineup and make his postseason debut. The 25-year-old Hyry had five points (3G / 2A) in 20 games with Dallas this season and impressed by winning 57.9 percent of faceoffs.
