Stars' Jake Oettinger: Starting regular-season opener
Oettinger was the first goalie off during Friday's morning skate, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start during the Stars' regular-season opener against the Blues.
After dealing with a lower-body injury late in the preseason, Oettinger was recently deemed available for the start of the regular season, and he'll officially be in the net for the Stars' Opening Night matchup. The 27-year-old should reprise his role as the Stars' primary goaltender during the 2026-27 campaign after he went 35-12-6 with a 2.59 GAA and .899 save percentage across 54 regular-season appearances last year.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Moves to long-term injured reserve
The Stars placed Duchene (lower body) on long-term injured reserve Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 29.
Duchene landed on injured reserve Wednesday and is now facing a lengthier absence to begin the regular season. The 35-year-old has been dealing with a lower-body injury since the start of training camp, and he recently experienced a setback in his recovery process that is set to sideline him until at least late October. Colin Blackwell and Arttu Hyry were recalled from AHL Texas to provide additional depth in Duchene's absence.

Stars' Colin Blackwell: Returning from AHL
Blackwell was recalled from AHL Texas on Thursday.
Blackwell cleared waivers on Monday after he was dealing with a lower-body injury near the end of training camp. He'll return to Dallas ahead of their Opening Night matchup against the Blues. The 33-year-old veteran was a solid contributor for the Stars across 70 regular-season games in 2025-26, where he compiled four goals, 15 points, 61 shots on net, 112 hits and 37 blocked shots. He'll likely rotate into the team's lineup on the fourth line to open the 2026-27 season.

Stars' Arttu Hyry: Recalled by Dallas
Hyry was recalled from AHL Texas on Thursday.
Hyry was sent to the minors Monday, but he'll rejoin the NHL club a few days later. He made 20 regular-season appearances for Dallas last year, recording three goals, two assists, 32 hits, six blocked shots and two PIM while averaging 11:47 of ice time.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Lands on injured reserve
Duchene (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Sports reports.
Duchene was labeled doubtful for the Stars' season opener Friday, and this move suggests he will not play in that game. The 35-year-old is battling an injury that has bothered him since the start of training camp, and he recently suffered a setback in his recovery process. The Stars are likely to utilize seven defensemen in Duchene's absence, as they have no extra forwards on the roster.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Isn't expected to play Friday
Duchene (lower body) is doubtful to play Friday versus St. Louis, per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.
Duchene also dealt with the same injury during training camp, and he recently suffered a setback in his recovery. The Stars are planning to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen Friday due to the expectation that Duchene will miss the game. Kyle Capobianco, who might have otherwise been a healthy scratch, is now projected to play against the Blues.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Healthy going into season
Oettinger (lower body) is available for Friday's season opener at home against St. Louis, per Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports.
Oettinger hasn't been named the starter for the upcoming game versus the Blues, but the chances of him getting the assignment are high. He had a 35-12-6 record, 2.59 GAA and .899 save percentage in 54 regular-season appearances with Dallas in 2025-26. Oettinger is Dallas' clear No. 1 netminder, while Casey DeSmith is set to continue to serve as his understudy.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Inks two-year extension
DeSmith agreed to terms on a two-year, $5 million contract extension with Dallas on Wednesday.
DeSmith has been a solid backup for the Stars over the previous two campaigns, going a combined 29-16-8 with a 2.50 GAA and three shutouts in 57 regular-season outings. With Jake Oettinger signed through the 2032-33 season, the Stars have secured their goalie tandem for the next two years by locking down DeSmith.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Set for 2026-27 season
Hintz (hamstring) will be ready for the start of the 2026-27 campaign, per Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports on Monday.
Hintz appeared in two of Dallas' four preseason games and is back to full health after a hamstring injury sidelined him for 26 straight games, including the playoffs, to conclude the 2025-26 campaign. Hintz had 15 goals, 44 points, 126 shots on net and 60 hits in 53 appearances for Dallas last year.

Stars' Arttu Hyry: Loaned to AHL Texas
Hyry was loaned to AHL Texas on Monday.
Hyry signed a two-year, $1.8 million contract in July to remain with the Stars, and he's slated to begin the regular season in the minors. Across 27 regular-season appearances with Texas last year, he recorded nine goals, 10 assists and 13 PIM.

Stars' Colin Blackwell: Goes on waivers
Blackwell (lower body) was placed on waivers Sunday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Blackwell had been dealing with an injury but has recovered. He earned four goals, 15 points, 61 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and 112 hits in 70 games for Dallas during the 2025-26 regular season. If he clears waivers, he could start the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Texas.

Stars' Remi Poirier: Hits waivers Saturday
Poirier was placed on waivers by the Stars on Saturday, per PuckPedia.
Poirier was the hero in the Stars' preseason outing Wednesday, where he made 24 saves in a 2-0 shutout win over the Wild. The 24-year-old backstop was an effective option for AHL Texas between the pipes last season, where he compiled a 27-19-8 record, a 2.61 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 52 regular-season outings. Given that Poirier was kept on the roster longer than Brandon Halverson, the former will likely be the organization's No. 3 option if either Jake Oettinger or Casey DeSmith are injured. However, Poirier will likely be challenged for playing time in the minors by Halverson, who had a solid showing with AHL Syracuse last season.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Sharp again in win
DeSmith stopped 26 of 27 shots in Friday's 2-1 preseason win over the Wild.
DeSmith stopped 56 of 58 shots over his two preseason games, winning both of them. The Stars didn't get to see Jake Oettinger (lower body) during the preseason, but the injury is not considered too serious. Still, if Oettinger misses the start of the season or any time throughout the campaign, DeSmith is a capable backup. DeSmith enters 2026-27 as a spot-start streamer in fantasy whenever he's between the pipes.

Stars' Kyle Burroughs: Waived by Dallas
Burroughs was waived by the Stars on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Burroughs is with the Stars on a one-year, two-way contract, and he'll begin the regular season with AHL Texas if he clears waivers. He made 18 regular-season appearances in the AHL with Ontario last year and recorded a goal and six assists, and he'll presumably spend most of the upcoming campaign in the minors once again.

Stars' Matthew Seminoff: On waivers
Seminoff was placed on waivers by Dallas on Thursday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Seminoff had 24 goals and 50 points in 72 regular-season appearances with AHL Texas in 2025-26. He's expected to begin the upcoming campaign in the minors, but it wouldn't be shocking to see Dallas call him up at some point during the season.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Unavailable for preseason finale
Oettinger (lower body) won't suit up for Friday's preseason finale on the road against Minnesota, Robert Tiffin of NHL.com reports.
Oettinger was scratched from Wednesday's preseason start at home against the Wild due to lower-body tightness and was initially considered questionable for Friday's rematch. Although head coach Glen Gulutzan downplayed the severity of Oettinger's injury Thursday, the netminder will be rested during the Stars' preseason finale. It seems unlikely that Oettinger's injury will impact his availability for Opening Night at home against the Blues on Oct. 2.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Slated to start Friday
DeSmith is slated to start Friday's preseason game on the road against Minnesota, Robert Tiffin of NHL.com reports.
DeSmith made his preseason debut at home against the Blues on Monday and turned aside 30 of 31 shots in the victory. Jake Oettinger (lower body) won't be available for Friday's preseason finale, so DeSmith will defend the road crease while Remi Poirier serves as the backup. Head coach Glen Gulutzan downplayed the severity of Oettinger's injury Thursday, but DeSmith could see increased playing time if Oettinger faces any limitations to begin the regular season.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Won't suit up in preseason finale
Duchene will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Wild, Stars TV host Brien Rea reports.
Duchene continues to deal with an undisclosed injury that has limited his ability to get on the ice during camp. While it sounds like the veteran center will start practicing soon, at this point, fantasy players may want to consider him questionable for the season opener versus St. Louis on Oct. 2.

Stars' Arno Tiefensee: Demoted Thursday
Tiefensee was shipped down to AHL Texas on Thursday.
Tiefensee was brought up after Jake Oettinger (lower body) was ruled out for Tuesday's preseason tilt and is now heading back to the minors. At this point, fantasy players should anticipate Tiefensee spending the entire season in the minors, making him a non-factor in fantasy contests, especially redraft formats.
