Top Stars News

  • Stars' Harrison Scott: Reassigned to AHL

    Scott was loaned to AHL Texas on Tuesday.

    Scott had 18 goals and 35 points in 38 NCAA games with the University of Maine before turning pro last campaign. He had one goal in 14 playoff outings with AHL Texas in 2024-25 after failing to reach the scoresheet in six regular-season appearances.

  • Stars' Trey Taylor: Demoted Tuesday

    Taylor was reassigned to AHL Texas on Tuesday.

    Taylor was on the Stars' Opening Night roster as part of the cap gymnastics for the team to gain an optimal benefit from placing Jamie Benn (upper body) on long-term injured reserve. The 23-year-old Taylor figures to spend most of 2025-26 with AHL Texas as he embarks on his professional career.

  • Stars' Justin Hryckowian: Brought up from AHL

    Hryckowian was called up from AHL Texas on Tuesday.

    Hryckowian missed out on the Stars' initial roster for cap-related reasons, but he'll now take his spot with the big club. The 24-year-old has a chance to carve out an NHL role while Jamie Benn (upper body) is on long-term injured reserve for likely the first month of the season or more.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Stars' Adam Erne: Signs two-way deal with Dallas

    Erne agreed to terms on a one year, two-way contract with the Stars on Tuesday.

    Erne hasn't suited up in the NHL since 2023-24, when he notched one goal, one assist and 68 hits over 24 regular-season games with the Oilers. The 30-year-old forward could earn a depth role with the Stars out of the gate due to the injuries to Jamie Benn (upper body) and Oskar Back (undisclosed). However, Erne had just one assist over 10 appearances with AHL Hartford in 2024-25, so he'd need to earn a spot on Dallas' roster.

  • Stars' Jamie Benn: On long-term injured reserve

    Benn (upper body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

    Benn's placement on LTIR shouldn't come as a surprise, considering he will be sidelined until at least mid-November, if not longer. After missing just two regular-season games over the last four seasons, Benn figures to be out of action for at least 15 contests. After putting up just 49 points last year, Benn's extended absence makes him unlikely to reach the 50-point threshold in 2025-26.

  • Stars' Lian Bichsel: Brought back up

    Bichsel was recalled from AHL Texas on Tuesday.

    Bichsel was sent down Monday, but he's back with the big club ahead of Thursday's regular-season opener in Winnipeg. The 2022 first-round pick played in 38 regular-season games last year, though he should be able to increase that number in a third-pairing role in 2025-26.

  • Stars' Luke Krys: Goes on non-roster list

    Krys (Achilles) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.

    Krys will be out until January or February because of an Achilles injury. He had three goals and 17 points in 61 regular-season appearances for AHL Texas in 2024-25. The 25-year-old defender will likely return to the minors once he's ready to play.

  • Stars' Chase Wheatcroft: Placed on non-roster IR

    Wheatcroft (wrist) was placed on non-roster injured reserve Monday.

    Wheatcroft is expected to be out until at least mid-October due to a wrist injury, so it isn't very surprising to see him begin the regular season on injured reserve. He made 67 regular-season appearances for AHL Texas last year and will likely head back to the minors once he's healthy.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Stars' Kyle McDonald: Placed on non-roster IR

    McDonald (knee) was placed on non-roster injured reserve Monday.

    General manager Jim Nill revealed in September that McDonald would be sidelined until at least November after undergoing ACL surgery, so the 23-year-old's IR designation isn't particularly surprising. Once he's healthy, he'll presumably head back to AHL Texas after making 43 regular-season appearances with the minor-league club last year.

  • Stars' Jamie Benn: Placed on injured reserve

    Benn (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

    Benn's placement on injured reserve isn't a surprise after he underwent surgery for a collapsed lung in late September, and he's slated to be transferred to long-term injured reserve at some point, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but he's expected to be sidelined for at least the first month of the regular season.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Stars' Oskar Back: Lands on IR

    Back (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

    Back missed Saturday's preseason finale against Colorado due to an undisclosed injury, and he'll be forced to miss the start of the regular season. Once he's healthy, he'll likely have to settle for a bottom-six role during the 2025-26 campaign.

  • Stars' Trey Taylor: Recalled by Dallas

    Taylor was recalled from AHL Texas on Monday.

    Taylor spent most of last season at Clarkson University but made 10 regular-season appearances with AHL Texas after signing a two-year, entry-level contract with the Stars in March. He was limited to just one assist during his time with Texas, but he'll join Dallas' roster ahead of the regular season. While it's possible that the 23-year-old sticks with the club early in the year to provide depth, Lian Bichsel is expected to be recalled ahead of Opening Night, which could result in Taylor heading back to the minors.

  • Stars' Harrison Scott: Called up from minors

    Scott was recalled from AHL Texas on Monday.

    Scott's elevation to the NHL roster may be a temporary move as the team tries to navigate the salary cap and Jamie Benn's (upper body) eventual shift to long-term injured reserve. In his brief cameo with AHL Texas last year, the 25-year-old winger recorded one point in 20 regular-season and playoff appearances. While Scott showed some offensive upside at the University of Maine, he still needs to prove it at the AHL level before getting a serious look at joining the Stars' roster.

  • Stars' Lian Bichsel: Sent to minors as procedural move

    Bichsel was loaned to AHL Texas on Monday.

    While Bichsel will briefly join the minor-league club ahead of the regular season, he was sent down as a cap-saving move and is slated to be on Dallas' Opening Night roster, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports. Bichsel made 38 regular-season appearances for Dallas last year, logging four goals, five assists, 155 hits, 41 PIM and 23 blocked shots while averaging 14:53 of ice time.

  • Stars' Oskar Back: Dealing with injury

    Back didn't play in Saturday's preseason game versus the Avalanche due to an undisclosed injury, freelance beat writer Robert Tiffin reports.

    Back's injury may prevent him from being in the Stars' Opening Night lineup Thursday versus the Jets. The 25-year-old forward is likely ticketed for a bottom-six role when healthy, though he may be an occasional healthy scratch. In any case, fantasy managers won't need to track his progress closely this season.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Starting preseason finale

    Oettinger will guard the home goal in Saturday's preseason game versus the Avalanche, per the NHL media site.

    Oettinger will get one more tune-up before the regular season. He played a full game in his previous preseason outing, allowing two goals on 21 shots in a win over the Wild on Sept. 23. The 26-year-old should be capable of handling a No. 1 workload for the Stars once the regular season gets going.

  • Stars' Cameron Hughes: Goes on waivers

    Hughes (abdomen) was placed on waivers Saturday, according to PuckPedia.

    Hughes had been recovering from surgery to address a core injury and was previously supposed to be out until mid-October. However, his placement on waivers indicates that he has recovered ahead of schedule. Hughes collected 23 goals and 57 points across 69 regular-season games with AHL Texas in 2024-25.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Stars' Casey DeSmith: Facing St. Louis

    DeSmith will defend the road net in preseason action against the Blues on Tuesday, per Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

    As Jake Oettinger's backup in the 2024-25 regular season, DeSmith posted a 14-8-2 record with two shutouts, a 2.59 GAA and a .915 save percentage across 27 appearances. The 34-year-old DeSmith will occupy the same role this campaign.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Stars' Kole Lind: Waived Sunday

    Lind was moved to the waiver wire Sunday, according to PuckPedia.

    Lind produced 23 goals and 29 assists across 71 regular-season games with AHL Texas in 2024-25. He has been productive at the minor-league level for the last two campaigns, but he probably won't see much NHL action this year.
