| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Tyler Seguin  ActiveTyler Seguin made Wednesday night's 4-3 loss to Anaheim interesting when he scored at the 13:53 mark of the third period. However, the Stars couldn't complete the comeback after falling behind 3-0 after the first period. Dallas scored three unanswered goals after the Ducks stormed out to a 4-0 lead. "The way we finished was how we wanted to play the full game," said Seguin. "I definitely liked our attitude out there." They'll look for a better start in Game 2 on Friday night. Apr 17 |
| 2 | Cody Eakin ActiveCody Eakin is excited to make his NHL playoff debut on Wednesday night. "I love playoff hockey," he said. "I really do think it brings out the best in you and makes you a better player. It's just an exciting time." His experience with postseason play is in the AHL and WHL, but the intensity remains in the same in the NHL. Eakin had 16 goals and 35 points for the Stars in 81 games this year. Apr 16 |
| 3 | Shawn Horcoff ActiveShawn Horcoff had two assists in the Stars' 4-2 win over St. Louis on Saturday. That snapped Horcoff's eight-game point drought. He has seven goals and 13 assists in 69 contests in 2013-14. Mar 30 |
| 4 | Vernon Fiddler ActiveVernon Fiddler requested a trade earlier this season, but now he's happy that he's still with the Dallas Stars. "I'm glad I'm still here," Fiddler said. "I like the role I have right now, and I want the chance to be able to help this team to the playoffs. It's important to me to be a part of that." He can become an unrestricted free agent after this year. Fiddler has four goals and 14 points in 64 games this season. Mar 24 |
| 5 | Dustin Jeffrey ActiveDustin Jeffrey tallied a pair of goals in Dallas' 5-0 win over Washington on Tuesday. "It was important for me to get my confidence back," Jeffrey said after the contest. "To go down and play there and get a lot of opportunities, that has been big." He has registered 10 points in 21 games with AHL Texas and he has three points in 17 appearances with Dallas. Apr 2 |
| 6 | Travis Morin ActiveTravis Morin has been named the AHL's most valuable player. Morin had 32 goals and 87 points in 65 games with the Texas Stars in 2013-14. While he's excelled at the AHL-level, the 30-year-old forward isn't expected to ever be worth owning in standard fantasy leagues. He has an assist in seven career NHL games. Apr 18 |
| LW | 1 | Jamie Benn ActiveJamie Benn scored in his playoff debut Wednesday night. He got Dallas on the board in the second period, on the power play, after the Ducks jumped out to a 4-0 lead in Game 1. Benn finished the contest with five shots on goal. Apr 17 |
| 2 | Erik Cole ActiveErik Cole (upper body) returned to action Saturday. Cole missed seven games with the upper body injury and played 13:22 minutes with 4:27 coming on the power play in a 5-2 win. He was pointless and has 16 goals and 29 points in 61 games this season. Put him back in your lineup if you normally would. Apr 6 |
| 3 | Ray Whitney ActiveRay Whitney didn't end up playing on the top line in Game 2, but coach Lindy Ruff is looking for more from the veteran forward. "I think Game 1 was a hard game for Ray. Coming off an injury, the level of energy in that game was more than he had seen. There were times he wasn't quite up to pace," Ruff said. "But I would expect more from Ray [Friday]. He's a veteran guy who we think can make those plays." The 41-year-old winger picked up nine goals and 32 points in 69 games during the regular season. He doesn't have a point in two playoff matches so far. Apr 19 |
| 4 | Antoine Roussel ActiveAntoine Roussel understands that he can't go too wild in the NHL playoffs. "I played for Chicago in the AHL, and I took two penalties right off the bat and then I was scratched the rest of the way," he said of his brief postseason experience. You can't do that in the playoffs." Roussel finished third in the league with 209 penalty minutes during the regular season. He'll make his NHL playoff debut on Wednesday against Anaheim. Apr 16 |
| RW | 1 | Alex Chiasson ActiveAlex Chiasson scored a goal in Dallas' 3-2 loss to Anaheim in Game 2 on Friday evening. Dallas took the lead on Chiasson's power-play goal, his first career playoff goal, at 7:40 of the first period. Dallas coach Lindy Ruff put Chiasson at right wing in place of Valeri Nichushkin on the top line to provide scoring depth. Ryan Garbutt scored the other goal for the Stars. Apr 19 |
| 2 | Valeri Nichushkin ActiveValeri Nichushkin earned an assist in his first NHL playoff game Wednesday night. He helped set up Tyler Seguin's goal in the third period and finished with four shots in 15:49 of ice time. Nichushkin had 14 goals and 34 points in 79 games during the regular season. Apr 17 |
| 3 | Colton Sceviour ActiveColton Sceviour will be able to play in Game 2 against the Ducks Friday night. He slammed face first into the boards in Game 1 and there was some concern that he had seriously injured himself but he did play in the third period Wednesday. Even though he didn't skate Thursday, it seems Sceviour is good to go for Friday's contest. Apr 18 |
| 4 | Chris Mueller ActiveThe Dallas Stars on Saturday recalled right winger Chris Mueller from the AHL, and the versatile forward is expected to stay with the NHL team for the playoffs. If Ray Whitney (lower body) is healthy for Game 1, Mueller gives the Stars two extra forwards. Mueller has been recalled and sent down various times in the last month but said the travel schedule hasn’t bothered him. "The travel has all been in the south, the flights have been easy," he said. "I wouldn’t complain about the travel anyway, but it hasn’t been as hard as you would think." Apr 15 |
| 5 | Rich Peverley  SidelinedRich Peverley skated on Thursday for the first time since undergoing heart surgery on Mar. 19, saying his goal is to play again this season. The Stars tweeted that Peverley will take his time in deciding whether to return or not. Peverley collapsed on the bench on Mar. 10 and was clinically dead, but was luckily revived by Stars' medical staff and a defibrillator on site. There is certainly no rush for the 31 year-old's return, but it is reassuring to hear he is lacing up the skates. Mar 28 |
| 6 | Ryan Garbutt ActiveRyan Garbutt had a goal and five shots in a 3-2 loss to Anaheim in Game 2 on Friday night. He scored around the halfway mark of the third period to draw Dallas within a goal, but for a second straight time the Stars couldn't get the equalizer. Garbutt is playing in his first NHL playoffs after a productive regular season. He registered 17 goals, 32 points and 106 penalty minutes in 75 games. Apr 19 |
| D | 1 | Alex Goligoski ActiveAlex Goligoski tallied his sixth goal in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over Nashville. He opened the scoring early into the first period to give him a modest three-game point streak. Goligoski has eight points, including seven assists, in his past seven contests. He has 41 points on the year. Apr 9 |
| 2 | Trevor Daley ActiveTrevor Daley, the only Dallas Star to have played in the team's last playoff appearance in 2008, helped the Stars punch their ticket to the post-season with a goal and an assist in Dallas' 3-0 win over St. Louis on Friday night. Daley scored the game winner in the second period, and notched his 25th point of the season with an assist later in the frame to give the Stars some insurance. Daley is the longest serving Star, playing for the green and white for the past 10 seasons. Apr 11 |
| 3 | Sergei Gonchar ActiveSergei Gonchar is on a three-game point streak. Gonchar scored a goal against his former team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, on Saturday. He now has two goals and 17 points in 46 contests in 2013-14. It's worth adding that 10 of his 17 points have come on the man advantage. Jan 26 |
| 4 | Brenden Dillon SidelinedBrenden Dillon (lower body) might skate with the Stars on Sunday. Even if Dillon does, he still might end up missing Game 3 on Monday. Dillon has missed three straight contests dating back to the regular season. Apr 20 |
| 5 | Jordie Benn ActiveJordie Benn earned his roster spot in Dallas at training camp and he's maintained it over the course of the season. Kevin Connauton and Jamie Oleksiak were viewed as threats to his playing time, but Connauton has had trouble staying in the lineup and Oleksiak has spent the vast majority of the year in the minors. "He's been really solid all year, really," coach Lindy Ruff said of Benn. "He's done a good job of playing simple and keeping within himself, and he's just done a whole lot more of that in recent games." He leads Dallas' defense corps with a plus-14 rating and he's chipped in 17 points in 68 contests. Benn also has 105 hits and 102 blocked shots. Mar 28 |
| 6 | Aaron Rome ActiveAaron Rome (lower body) returned to Dallas' lineup on Sunday. He sat out seven games with a lower-body ailment. Rome earned 20:19 of ice time, while finishing with a minus-1 rating and three blocks. Apr 14 |
| 7 | Kevin Connauton ActiveKevin Connauton has been a healthy scratch for six of Dallas' past seven games. The Stars dressed recent call-up Patrik Nemeth in his NHL debut on Tuesday instead of playing Connauton. "I've talked to Kevin and it is frustrating," coach Lindy Ruff said. "I really think that Kevin has come a ways this year and still has a ways to go. I think his strength is more on the offensive side of it, where Nemeth's is more on the defensive side, and we're turning a little bit more in that direction. I asked Kevin not to get frustrated, because I do see improvement. I just told him that I know it's frustrating but I think you can get there, you're just a little ways away yet." Connauton has eight points and a minus-5 rating in 35 games this year. Apr 2 |
| 8 | Patrik Nemeth ActivePatrik Nemeth has been summoned from the minors by Dallas. He has registered 10 points and a team-leading plus-19 rating in 37 games for AHL Texas this year. Nemeth is appearing in his second season of minor-league play after coming over from Sweden. Mar 31 |
| G | 1 | Kari Lehtonen ActiveKari Lehtonen let in three goals on 19 shots in Dallas' 3-2 loss to Anaheim Friday night. It was a difficult game for Lehtonen as the Ducks scored some pretty goals. Lehtonen was outplayed by Frederik Andersen and the Stars lost their second straight to Anaheim. The Ducks and the Stars will play their next game on Monday in Dallas and Lehtonen will probably start again then. Apr 19 |
| 2 | Tim Thomas ActiveTim Thomas may have played his last game with the Stars on Sunday, but he has enjoyed his experience in Dallas. "I've had the opportunity to experience a different role than I've had in the past, but it's been a good thing," Thomas said. "I've helped support Kari and helped support the team. It's given me the opportunity to get outside of myself, and I've enjoyed that." He will turn 40 years of age on Tuesday and can become an unrestricted free agent in the summer. Apr 14 |
