| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Tyler Seguin  ActiveTyler Seguin said he believes the Boston Bruins gave up on him too early. No kidding. Seguin had 121 points in three seasons with the Bruins, but he's scored 136 points in just 126 games as a member of the Dallas Stars. "Now that it’s all completely in the past, I can give you my honest answer. Do I think the Bruins gave up on me too early? Yes, I 100 percent believe that," said Seguin. "I had hoped to stay in Boston for a long time. I even put a deposit down on a house there just months before I was traded. I never got to move in." Jan 24 |
| 2 | Jason Spezza ActiveJason Spezza and two other Stars players recorded a goal and an assist in their 5-4 win over the Capitals on Saturday night. Spezza, Tyler Seguin and Erik Cole all had matching nights on the score sheet. Spezza also had four penalty minutes. With some correction on the goal side (eight on 8.6% scoring rate), Spezza will right where the Stars (and fantasy owners) hoped he’d be when he was acquired from the Senators. He has 32 points in 44 games. Jamie Benn and Antoine Roussel scored the other goals in the win. Jyrki Jokipakka got two helpers. Jan 17 |
| 3 | Cody Eakin ActiveCody Eakin scored two goals in Dallas' 6-3 win over Chicago on Sunday. Eakin's first period goal was scored shorthanded, while his third period goal was scored on the man advantage. He also picked up an assist on an empty net goal. The 23-year-old had just two points in his last eight games before this one. This is his first goal since December 31st. Eakin has nine goals and 21 points in 42 games this season. Tyler Seguin, Vernon Fiddler, Erik Cole and Shawn Horcoff also scored for the Stars. Jan 18 |
| 4 | Vernon Fiddler ActiveVernon Fiddler scored the only Dallas goal in a 3-1 loss to the Bruins on Tuesday night. Fiddler's sixth goal of the season opened the scoring in the contest, but the Bruins answered back with three straight tallies, which the Stars never countered. Jason Spezza and Jason Demers drew assists on Fiddler's marker. Jan 21 |
| LW | 1 | Jamie Benn ActiveJamie Benn registered three assists in Dallas' 6-3 win over Chicago on Sunday. Benn assisted on Tyler Seguin's first period goal, and he also picked up assists on both of Cody Eakin's goals. The 25-year-old is quietly putting up another solid season in Seguin's shadow. Benn has 13 goals and 40 points in 45 games this season. Jan 18 |
| 2 | Erik Cole  SidelinedErik Cole (upper body) probably won't be able to return to Dallas' lineup immediately after the All-Star break ends. No update has been given in Cole's case, but it is possible that the Stars' forward will be out for weeks. Cole suffered the injury after he crashed into the boards on Tuesday night against Boston. The 36-year-old has 12 goals and 23 points in 44 games. If the Stars are out of the playoff picture before the March 2nd trade deadline, it is entirely possible that they would move Cole. Jan 25 |
| 3 | Antoine Roussel ActiveAntoine Roussel registered his 10th goal of the season on Tuesday as part of 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets. With 20 points and 82 penalty minutes in what amounts to about half a season, Roussel is a fantasy gem in leagues that reward PIM and is probably still underrated despite the perennial love he receives from Rotoworld. Ales Hemsky also scored a goal for Dallas in the loss. Jan 7 |
| 4 | Shawn Horcoff ActiveShawn Horcoff (illness) has been removed from injured reserve. He's expected to play on Thursday after missing four games with an illness. Horcoff has 13 points in 35 games this campaign. Jan 8 |
| 5 | Travis Moen ActiveTravis Moen is expected to return to the Dallas lineup Saturday night against the Blues. Moen has been sidelined since December 9th with an upper body injury but will return to the Stars lineup Saturday. He has yet to record a single point in 21 games played but will lineup on the wing with Shawn Horcoff and Vernon Fiddler in hopes of scoring his first point of the season. Dec 27 |
| RW | 1 | Valeri Nichushkin  I.L.The Dallas Stars are hoping Valeri Nichushkin (hip) will be able to return sometime in March. The 19-year-old had a solid rookie campaign last year, registering 14 goals, 34 points and a plus-20 rating in 79 games. This year, he's been limited to just four games. Nichushkin has enormous potential, and the Stars will be cautious with bringing him back too early. It may be wise to shut him down for the season if the Stars are out of the playoff picture in March. Jan 25 |
| 2 | Ales Hemsky ActiveThere is a good chance Ales Hemsky will play against Washington Saturday night. Hemsky was a question mark due to some sort of undisclosed injury but it looks likely that he will suit up. Curtis McKenzie was reaclled from Texas of the AHL as insurance in case Hemsky can't play. Jan 17 |
| 3 | Ryan Garbutt ActiveRyan Garbutt has finished serving his three-game suspension. Garbutt was suspended for slew-footing Dustin Byfuglien of the Winnipeg Jets. Stars' coach Lindy Ruff is hoping that Garbutt has learned his lesson. "We’ve had a lot of discussions, (GM) Jim (Nill) and I have had discussions with him, because we just feel it’s that important that he change the way he approaches some of those situations when he’s on the ice," said Ruff. "Because when he plays the way he can play, he’s been a very good player for us. But we have to find a happy medium for him." Dec 21 |
| 4 | Colton Sceviour ActiveColton Sceviour will skate with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin against the Washington Capitals on Saturday night. This is a big opportunity for the 25 year old winger from Red Deer, Alberta. Sceviour has a goal and an assist with seven shots over his last five games for five goals and 13 points in 38 games this season. He may not be a long-term answer, but he could be a real boon for anyone needing short-term help so long as he plays with Benn and Seguin. Jan 17 |
| 5 | Patrick Eaves I.L.Patrick Eaves (ankle) has declared himself ready to return. The Stars reassigned Curtis McKenzie to AHL Texas on Tuesday to make room for Eaves, but right now he's still listed on the team's injured reserve list and it isn't clear if he'll play Tuesday night. Eaves has been sidelined since Dec. 2 because of an ankle injury. Jan 20 |
| 6 | Rich Peverley I.L.Rich Peverley (heart) hasn't been cleared to resume hockey-related activities yet. He has been sidelined since he collapsed on the bench in March and was revived by the Stars' medical staff. Peverley had heart surgery shortly afterward. His progress was expected to be slow, but he shouldn't be expected to play this season. Peverley's career might also be in jeopardy. Oct 30 |
| 7 | Brett Ritchie I.L.Brett Ritchie (upper body) may return to Dallas' lineup on Tuesday. The rookie has been out for three games because of the injury. The 21-year-old was Dallas' second round pick in 2011. He has three goals and one assist in eight games this season. The Stars placed Ritchie on injured reserve on January 17th. Jan 25 |
| D | 1 | Alex Goligoski ActiveAlex Goligoski picked up two assists in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to Chicago. He has four helpers in his past three outings. Goligoski had been struggling through a lower-body bone injury, but he appears to be putting that issue behind him now. He has one goal and 19 points in 38 games. Jan 5 |
| 2 | Trevor Daley SidelinedTrevor Daley will not play Saturday night against the Capitals. He has some sort of undisclosed injury. Reserve Daley immediately. David Schlemko or Jyrki Jokipakka will dress in his place. Jan 17 |
| 3 | Jason Demers ActiveJason Demers recorded a goal for the Stars in their 4-3 win over the Blues on Saturday night. Demers has four of his seven points in 13 games with the Stars, so he has done just what general manager Jim Nill hoped for when he traded for him. The goal was his first of the season, so he’s not much of a fantasy option at this point. Trevor Daley, Ryan Garbutt and Travis Moen also scored for Dallas. Dec 27 |
| 4 | Jordie Benn ActiveJordie Benn and Ryan Garbutt will return to the Stars lineup on Sunday night in Edmonton. Benn will skate with Jason Demers on the their third pairing while will second to the right of Antione Roussell and Jason Spezza on their second line. Adjust your lineup accordingly. Dec 21 |
| 5 | John Klingberg ActiveJohn Klingberg wants to have better communication with his teammates. "I have to do a better job of letting my teammates know what I'm thinking and what I want to do," Klingberg said. "I know that I don't do what's expected, and that's good in fooling the other team. But I don't want to fool my own teammates, so that's something I've been working on." Alex Goliogoski said that Klingberg likes to talk on the bench and on the ice because he's eager to learn. The 22-year-old ranks second among rookie blueliners in scoring with 18 points in 31 games, but he wants to be better physically and defensively. Jan 20 |
| 6 | David Schlemko ActiveDavid Schlemko will be a healthy scratch against Boston on Tuesday night. Schlemko has suited up just twice for Dallas, deflating any potential fantasy value. Jan 20 |
| 7 | Patrik Nemeth I.L.Patrik Nemeth (arm) may be able to return sometime in March. Nemeth has missed most of the season because he suffered an arm laceration on October 18th. The 22-year-old hasn't registered a point in eight career NHL games, so his fantasy value will be non-existent if he does return. The 22-year-old was Dallas' second round pick in 2010. Nemeth's return would definitely be a feel-good story. Jan 25 |
| G | 1 | Kari Lehtonen ActiveKari Lehtonen was beaten for three goals on 27 shots in a 3-1 defeat against the Bruins on Tuesday. The Bruins are a tough draw for any goaltender at the moment, given how well they have played, but that's not much consolation for his fantasy owners. His 19-10-7 record is complemented by a .903 save percentage and a 2.97 GAA. Jan 21 |
| 2 | Anders Lindback ActiveAnders Lindback allowed two goals on 22 shots in a 2-1 loss to Winnipeg on Thursday night. Lindback falls to 2-7 so far this year with a .875 save percentage and 3.79 goals against average. The Stars better hope Kari Lehtonen stays healthy the way their backup is playing lately. Jan 16 |
