Faksa (undisclosed) was injured Thursday versus the Jets, and the Stars will know more about his status Saturday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
It's not yet clear what kind of injury is bothering Faksa. He previously had a brush with a lower-body injury but didn't miss any time with it. The 32-year-old forward should be considered day-to-day for now.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Tending twine Thursday
Rotowire
Oettinger will defend the home paint in Thursday's clash against the Jets, per Stars TV host Brien Rea.
Oettinger is set to enter Thursday's start on a two-game win streak after shutting out the Blackhawks on Saturday and narrowly defeating the Bruins on Tuesday. Overall, the 27-year-old backstop has a 4-2-1 record, a league-leading three shutouts, a 1.13 GAA and a .945 save percentage across seven appearances. In Thursday's matchup with the Jets, who currently rank 24th in the NHL with 2.67 goals per game, Oettinger is a must-start in all fantasy formats.
Hintz notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
Hintz has already battled a couple of injury scares early in the season. He's yet to miss a game, earning six points, 16 shots on net, 15 hits, seven PIM and a plus-4 rating over nine outings. However, he missed 29 contests in 2025-26 and has taken his fair share of bumps and bruises over the years. He's never played in every game of a campaign, so bank on him eventually having something that forces him out of the lineup for a little bit.

Stars' Jason Robertson: Dishes pair of helpers
Rotowire
Robertson notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added three shots on net in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
Robertson helped out on the first and last goals of Mikko Rantanen's hat trick. This was Robertson's second multi-point effort in a row. The winger is up to three goals, six assists, 29 shots, nine hits and a plus-4 rating across nine contests while filling a top-six role.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Makes 18 saves in overtime victory
Rotowire
Oettinger stopped 18 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
Oettinger helped Dallas secure its third consecutive victory, recovering after allowing Boston to take leads of 1-0 and 2-1. The 27-year-old netminder has now won two straight starts, including a 19-save shutout against Chicago on Saturday. His relatively light workload Tuesday limited his save total, but Dallas' improving results and his established role as the team's primary starter provide a strong fantasy foundation. Oettinger's 4-2-1 record doesn't do him any justice, as he also sports an elite 1.13 GAA and an impressive .945 save percentage. He has conceded just eight goals on 146 shots faced.

Stars' Mikko Rantanen: Scores hat trick in win over Boston
Rotowire
Rantanen scored three goals, including the overtime winner on the power play, on six shots in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Bruins.
Rantanen single-handedly accounted for Dallas' scoring, completing his 11th career regular-season hat trick at 3:52 of overtime. The Finnish winger also posted a season-high mark in shots and extended his point streak to three games. His prominent offensive role should continue generating substantial scoring opportunities, and the numbers back that up, as the star winger has 11 points (five goals, six assists) while logging 20:53 TOI per game in his first nine appearances.
Lindell (lower body) has been ruled out for Tuesday's road clash against the Bruins and is expected to miss roughly one week, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.
Lindell suffered the lower-body injury in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Blackhawks while blocking a shot. The 32-year-old blueliner has thrived in a shut-down role to begin the new season, where he's posted a plus-4 rating, four shots on net, five hits and 18 blocked shots across eight appearances. He's currently slated to miss three or four games given the injury update from head coach Glen Gulutzan. His status will be heavily monitored in a week's time.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Facing Bruins Tuesday
Rotowire
Oettinger will patrol the road crease in Tuesday's clash against the Bruins, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.
Oettinger will look to carry his momentum into Tuesday's clash after posting his third shutout of the season on Saturday. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder has a 3-2-1 record, a 1.00 GAA and a .952 save percentage across six appearances. He's the only goalie in the NHL with more than one shutout, which makes him a strong starting option in fantasy moving forward. However, he'll face a tough test against the Bruins on Tuesday, who rank fifth in the NHL with 3.78 goals per game.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Participates in Monday's practice
Rotowire
Hintz (hand) participated in Monday's practice session and should be good to go for Tuesday's game against the Bruins, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
Hintz suffered a hand injury in the third period of Saturday's win over the Blackhawks, but the issue shouldn't impact his status for Tuesday's matchup. Across his eight appearances to begin the regular season, the 29-year-old has recorded three goals, two assists, 13 hits, seven PIM and four blocked shots while averaging 16:57 of ice time.

Stars' David Perron: Practicing Monday
Rotowire
Perron (not injury related) was on the ice for Monday's practice session, Stars TV host Brien Rea reports.
Perron could make his season debut against the Bruins on Tuesday, though the Stars could keep him out of the lineup a little longer to make sure he's up to game speed. In 49 regular-season games with the Senators last year, the veteran winger notched 10 goals and 15 assists, including eight power-play points.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Chips in with helper
Rotowire
Lundkvist notched an assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Lundkvist is working on the second pairing with limited special-teams usage this season. He's contributed a pair of assists, six shots on net, 10 blocked shots, six PIM, four hits and a plus-1 rating over eight appearances. There's nothing in Lundkvist's profile that stands out in fantasy, as he's yet to reach the 20-point mark in any season and has only reached 60 games played once. He's also behind Esa Lindell as the third defenseman option on the power play.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Held scoreless in return to lineup
Rotowire
Johnston fired five shots on net and added a hit in Saturday's 4-0 win over Chicago.
Making his return from a two-game absence due to an illness, Johnston was second on the Stars in shots behind Jason Robertson's seven, but he couldn't get one past Spencer Knight. Johnston is still looking for his first goal of 2026-27, picking up four assists in six games, but he should open his account soon enough after lighting the lamp 45 times in 82 regular-season contests last season.

Stars' Jason Robertson: Two-point effort in win
Rotowire
Robertson scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an assist in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Chicago.
The star winger opened the scoring early in the second period, slipping a close-range shot past Spencer Knight on a give-and-go with Mikko Rantanen, and that was all the offense Jake Oettinger would need on the night. Robertson has gotten onto the scoresheet in five of the last six games, and through eight contests to begin the season he's collected three goals and seven points.

Stars' Arttu Hyry: Lights lamp twice in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Hyry scored two goals in Saturday's 4-0 win over Chicago.
The 25-year-old has only six career NHL goals in 33 regular-season games, but three of them have come in the last two contests. Hyry converted a 2-on-1 break midway through the second period on a nice feed from Sam Steel, then snapped a backhand past Spencer Knight early in the third after a bad line change by Chicago created a partial breakaway. The three tallies are Hyry's only points this season in eight games, but he's added 21 hits, 13 shots on net, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating while filling a middle-six role.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Another clean sheet Saturday
Rotowire
Oettinger turned aside all 19 shots he faced in Saturday's 4-0 win over Chicago.
The 27-year-old netminder has come rocketing out of the gates in 2026-27, and Oettinger's delivered three shutouts already in just six starts. Thanks to the Stars' inconsistent offense, however, those are also his only three wins; he's gone 3-2-1 with a dazzling 1.00 GAA and .952 save percentage. Oettinger's career high in shutouts is five, set in 2022-23.
