| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Jamie Benn  ActiveThe Dallas Morning News' Mike Heika speculates that ex-Sabres coach Lindy Ruff will now move atop the Stars' coaching list. After Alain Vigneault, who was clearly Dallas' top choice, removed his name from contention, the Stars will have to shift gears. Former Rangers coach John Tortorella could be in the mix now. Heika says the Stars might also wait until July 1 to see if Coyotes coach Dave Tippett stays. Texas Stars coach Willie Desjardins and Grand Rapids Griffins bench boss Jeff Blashill "will almost surely" be interviewed, too. Jun 17 |
| 2 | Cody Eakin ActiveCody Eakin had a goal and an assist in Dallas' 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday. Eakin is quietly putting together an impressive sophomore season with four goals and 15 points in 23 games this season. It probably helped that he got a chance to participate in 35 AHL games with the Texas Stars during the lockout. Mar 8 |
| 3 | Vernon Fiddler ActiveVernon Fiddler returned from a lower body injury Wednesday. Fiddler missed two games due to the ailment. He had an assist and logged 12:46 minutes of ice time in Dallas' 5-2 loss. Apr 4 |
| 4 | Tom Wandell ActiveTom Wandell has completed his AHL conditioning stint. Wandell has four points in 11 AHL games this season. That stint helped him stay in game shape after spending weeks as a healthy scratch with the Dallas Stars. Apr 3 |
| 5 | Ryan Garbutt ActiveRyan Garbutt (hand) has been activated off the injured reserve list. Garbutt has five points and 20 penalty minutes in 20 games this season. He has a little fantasy value but only in deep leagues. Just an FYI. Apr 3 |
| LW | 1 | Ray Whitney ActiveRay Whitney has been selected as the Dallas Stars' Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy nominee. Whitney, 40, broke his foot early in the season and attempted to play through it. He finally had to take some time off because he was making the injury worse, but he has been great since he returned. Whitney has 11 goals and 27 points in 29 games this season. Apr 22 |
| 2 | Eric Nystrom ActiveEric Nystrom scored the game-winning goal in Dallas’ 4-1 victory over Edmonton on Tuesday night. The fourth-line left winger was surprisingly effective on Tuesday. Aside from scoring the go-ahead marker in the third, Nystrom finished with a plus-3 rating. Jaromir Jagr also added his fourth goal of the year later in the final frame. Feb 13 |
| 3 | Antoine Roussel ActiveAntoine Roussel scored Dallas' only goal in a 2-1 loss at the hands of the Blues Friday night. It was the youngster's sixth goal of the season. Stephane Robidas and Aaron Rome registered the assists on the marker. Apr 20 |
| 4 | Matt Fraser ActiveMatt Fraser and Jordie Benn were healthy scratches for the Stars on Sunday. While Fraser has only one assist in nine games after scoring 33 goals in the AHL this season but coach Glen Gulutzan has been quite impressed with the youngster. "I've watched Matty quite a bit, and he's not going to wow you with 100 different things," Gulutzan said. "He's a quick-strike guy, and he hasn't had a lot of opportunities to bury pucks. He has an incredible shot and incredible release, and he needs to find those areas in the NHL to get his shot away. That's part of the learning process." Fraser could be someone to look at in a couple of years in fantasy hockey as he knows how to score. Apr 22 |
| 5 | Lane MacDermid ActiveLane MacDermid (chest) returned to action on Sunday. MacDermid missed seven games with the chest injury. He was held off the scoresheet Sunday but has two goals in six NHL games this season. Apr 22 |
| RW | 1 | Loui Eriksson ActiveTwenty years later, the Stars will return to the Fort Worth Convention Center to host their four-day training camp, which will go from Sept. 11-14. The Stars were last here in their first season in Dallas, 1993. President Jim Lites is the same person who brought the Stars to Fort Worth in his first tenure as team president, and with the team rebranding now, he'll do it again. "We said, "Where are we going to run training camp in the new world order?’" Lites said. "I said, let’s think about Fort Worth, and next thing I know we’ve got a deal cut with the Convention Center and Mayor [Betsy] Price is throwing her weight behind us, businesses there are supporting us and wanting to get involved with us, and we’re wanting to get involved with them." Jun 17 |
| 2 | Erik Cole ActiveErik Cole had an assist on Thursday. Cole has just nine goals and 13 points in 46 games this season. The trade from Montreal to Dallas wasn't enough to spark him as he's recorded seven points in 27 contests with the Stars. Apr 26 |
| 3 | Alex Chiasson ActiveAlex Chiasson is determined to start the 2013-14 campaign with the Dallas Stars. Chiasson spent seven games with Dallas this season. "(Now) I’m not going to take anything for granted, I got a taste of what it is to be (in the NHL) and that’s my main goal this summer … that they’re going to have to keep me," he said. Chiasson had six goals and seven points in his seven NHL games, so he's certainly worth keeping a close eye on during the Stars' training camp. May 23 |
| 4 | Reilly Smith ActiveReilly Smith has been summoned by the Dallas Stars on an emergency basis. Smith will play if Lane MacDermid (chest) and Alex Chiasson (shoulder) are unavailable Thursday. Smith has three goals and seven points in 31 NHL games this season. Apr 17 |
| D | 1 | Alex Goligoski ActiveAlex Goligoski has been playing through a spider fracture in one of the bones of his foot. "He'll be OK tonight," coach Glen Gulutzan said Thursday morning. "He's got the same thing that Ray Whitney had early in the year. He's kind of got a little of a spider fracture in his foot there that he's been playing with for the last three or four games. It's just a pain management thing for him, but he'll play tonight." Goligoski didn't participate in Thursday's morning skate, but he's projected to play against Columbus. He has picked up three points in his last two games to give him a total of 27 in 45 matches. Apr 25 |
| 2 | Sergei Gonchar ActiveSergei Gonchar is excited to join the Dallas Stars. "Honestly, winning is my No. 1 priority, and I feel this team has good chance to win," said Gonchar. "I believe in what they are doing and where they want to go. At my age, winning is very important." The 39-year-old defenseman signed a two-year/$10 million deal with the Stars after his rights were acquired from Ottawa. Gonchar is still in good shape and he averaged 23:59 of ice time with the Senators during the 2013 campaign, which is more than any skater played on Dallas. Jun 12 |
| 3 | Stephane Robidas ActiveStephane Robidas registered two assists in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win. Robidas has nine assists in 20 games this season. He puts up decent offensive numbers, but his real value comes in leagues that use hits and blocked shots as categories. Feb 27 |
| 4 | Trevor Daley  SidelinedTrevor Daley (neck) is likely to require offseason surgery. Daley missed the Stars' season finale and before that he was playing through the injury. He had four goals and 13 points in 44 games this season. May 1 |
| 5 | Aaron Rome SidelinedAaron Rome might need surgery due to a hip injury. Rome was had five assists in 27 games this season. He was able to play in the Stars' season finale, although he didn't participate in the contest before that. May 1 |
| 6 | Philip Larsen ActivePhilip Larsen returned to action on Thursday March 21. He had been dealing with flu-like symptoms and hadn't played since March 14th. Larsen recorded three shots and played 11:27 of ice time against Los Angeles in Dallas' 2-0 victory. Mar 22 |
| 7 | Jordie Benn ActiveJordie Benn has been called up by the Dallas Stars. Benn has a goal and six points in 23 games with the Dallas Stars this season. He also has 21 points and 33 penalty minutes in 43 AHL contests. Apr 8 |
| 8 | Brenden Dillon ActiveBrenden Dillon ranks fourth among rookies with 21:10 minutes per game. "I think Dillon is a real physical specimen, so those minutes don’t bother him," Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said. "He has the body, he has the big frame, but he also can skate. He doesn't get trapped in his own end and have to take the abuse, because he can skate himself out of some of the problem areas. He’s efficient, and he doesn't burn energy when he doesn't have to." Dillon averaged 17:17 minutes in seven January contests, but his responsibilities have increased as the season's progressed. He doesn't excel offensively, but he is an asset in leagues that use some less traditional categories. Dillon has 117 hits and 63 blocked shots in 42 contests. Apr 17 |
| G | 1 | Kari Lehtonen ActiveKari Lehtonen has declined an invitation to play for Finland in the IIHF World Championships. Lehtonen has a newborn son and he would rather spend time with his family. "I want to take some time off and be a dad," Lehtonen said. "That’s exciting. I can start a little earlier to work out and skate and I should be good to go." Lehtonen added that he didn't live up to his own expectations this season. He finished with a 2.66 GAA and .916 save percentage in 36 games. May 2 |
| 2 | Richard Bachman ActiveRichard Bachman will be a restricted free agent next month, but Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News doesn't think he'll get a qualifying offer from the Stars. He is guessing that Dallas will allow him to test the market as an unrestricted free agent, but they may offer him a two-way deal if they want to keep him in the fold. Cristopher Nilstorp got a one-year, two-way extension from Dallas this week, but the team may want to bring in another veteran goaltender to compete for a backup job. Jun 19 |
