Dallas Stars News

Harley has not played since November 13th, and few details have been revealed about his injury. He was back at practice on Friday and will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 24-year-old Harley was battling the injury before being sidelined, resulting in a lackluster start to the season, with 10 points (1G / 9A) and a -7 plus/minus in 18 games. Before the start of the season, Stars' Head Coach Glen Gulutzan hinted that Harley and Miro Heiskanen may split time on the team's powerplay unit, but given Heiskanen's hot start to the season, it's unlikely that Harley sees much time outside of the second unit.

The red-hot Stars have points in 15 of their last 16 games (13-1-2), which can be largely attributed to solid tandem netminding from Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith. The 34-year-old DeSmith will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets. DeSmith has been outstanding in a supporting role this season, helping his team record at least a point in nine straight games (6-0-3) while posting a tremendous 1.90 GAA and .933 SV%. The Stars enter Tuesday's contest as -127 road favorites against a Jets team that has lost three of their last four (1-2-1).

Lyubushkin did not play in the Stars' most recent game, and he will miss at least two more due to an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old Lyubushkin has already missed a multi-game stint this season due to injury. He has five assists, 41 blocks, and 30 hits in 21 games this season.

Harley has not played since November 13th, and few details have been revealed about his injury, but he was back at practice on Friday could return to the lineup on the team's upcoming two-game road trip. The 24-year-old Harley was battling the injury before being sidelined, resulting in a lackluster start to the season, with 10 points (1G / 9A) and a -7 plus/minus in 18 games.

Harley has not played since November 13th, and few details have been revealed about his injury. He was back at practice on Friday and appears to be nearing a return to the lineup. The 24-year-old Harley was battling the injury before being sidelined, resulting in a lacklustre start to the season, with 10 points (1G / 9A) and a -7 plus/minus in 18 games.

The Stars have been among the hottest teams in the league, going 15-2-5 in their last 22 games, all without needing Oettinger to be spectacular. That said, the 26-year-old Oettinger is coming off his second shutout of the season, a 30-save performance in a 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils. He has a 2.60 GAA and .906 SV% in 18 games this season (12-4-2). The Stars enter Friday's contest as significant -276 home favorites against a San Jose Sharks team coming off an embarrassing 7-1 loss to the Washington Capitals.

With Tyler Seguin (ACL) injured last night and likely out for the remainder of the season, Bastian will draw into the Stars' lineup as his replacement. The 27-year-old Bastian has three goals and 39 hits in 17 games this season.

Seguin was favoring his knee after an awkward collision, leaving in the first period of Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the New York Rangers. The 33-year-old Seguin was off to a decent start to the 2025-26 season, scoring 17 points (7G / 10A) in 27 games, but will unfortunately return to a familiar place on Injured Reserve. Seguin has battled a myriad of injuries in recent years, including last season, when he missed 62 games.

Oettinger was expected to start last night, but was under the weather, leaving the crease to Casey DeSmith in a 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Rangers. That said, Oettinger returns to the crease on Wednesday in the tail end of a back-to-back against the New Jersey Devils. The 26-year-old Oettinger has a 2.76 GAA and .900 SV% in 17 games (11-4-2) and has yet to consistently string together elite performances this season. The Stars enter Wednesday's contest as slight +102 road underdogs against a Devils team that has gone 4-5-0 since Jack Hughes’ injury (hand).

Seguin was favoring his knee after an awkward collision, leaving in the first period of Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the New York Rangers. Stars' Head Coach Glen Gulutzan said following the game that he was remaining hopeful, but given Seguin's injury history in recent years, there is cause for concern. The 33-year-old Seguin has 17 points (7G / 10A) in 27 games this season.

The Stars announced on Tuesday that Lian Bichsel (lower body) will be sidelined for six to eight weeks. As such, Kolyachonok will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday and likely remain a lineup regular until Thomas Harley returns, likely in a few weeks.

Oettinger is battling an illness, but will still serve as the backup to Casey DeSmith on Tuesday against the New York Rangers. The 27-year-old Oettinger could be ready to return to the crease tomorrow against the New Jersey Devils.

Bichsel was in agonizing pain after an awkward collision in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Ottawa Senators and needed to be helped off the ice. The 21-year-old Bichsel was off to a strong start in his first full NHL season, with 85 hits and three points (1G / 2A) in a shutdown role through 26 games.
