Seguin was expected to miss 4-to-6 months as of early December, so he's still at least two months away from returning to the Stars' lineup. Moving him to LTIR gives the Stars some cap flexibility and does not affect Seguin's timeline for a return.

Lundkvist last played on January 21st and will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season after undergoing shoulder surgery. Christian Kyrou was brought up from the AHL to take his spot on the roster.

Kyrou has the chance to make his NHL debut on Sunday, as he replaces Kyle Capobianco on the Stars roster. The 21-year-old defenseman has four goals and nine assists (13 points) in 26 games with Texas (AHL) this season.

McDonald was an undrafted free agent out of the OHL, who is in his second year with Texas (AHL). The 22-year-old winger has five points (3G / 2A) in 31 AHL games this season. If he plays Sunday vs. the Blue Jackets, it would be his NHL debut.

Capobianco was a minus-2 with four PIMS in 11:23 TOI in his Stars debut on Friday. He gets returned to the AHL and both Kyle McDonald and Christian Kyrou have been recalled.

Heiskanen exited Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights in the third period with 19:50 time-on-ice after Mark Stone made contact with his knee in an awkward collision. The 25-year-old Heiskanen leads Dallas in time-on-ice (25:10) and is out week-to-week. Before his injury, Heiskanen had five points (0G / 5A) during a five-game point streak.

With Miro Heiskanen (lower body) out week-to-week, Dallas has recalled Capobianco from the Texas Stars (AHL). The 27-year-old Capobianco has been solid from the blue line at the AHL level, scoring 28 points (2G / 26A) in 35 games with Texas this season. At morning skate on Friday, Capobianco was practicing with the Stars' second powerplay unit.

The Stars are riding a three-game winning streak and will roll with Oettinger between the pipes on Friday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 26-year-old Oettinger has a .882 SV% in his last three games but has salvaged a 2-1-0 record. He has a 2.30 GAA and .912 SV% through 37 games this season (25-11-1). The Stars enter Friday's contest as -160 home favorites against a Canucks squad outscoring their opposition 10-4 during a three-game winning streak.

Lundkvist has not played the previous three games and will remain sidelined due to an upper-body injury after he was placed on IR retroactive to January 21st. The 24-year-old Lundkvist is averaging 15:01 time-on-ice, a slight uptick from last season, but has seen his production dip. He is averaging 0.13 points-per-game compared to the 0.32 he was averaging last season.

Heiskanen exited Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights in the third period with 19:50 time-on-ice after Mark Stone made contact with his knee in an awkward collision. The 25-year-old Heiskanen leads Dallas in time-on-ice (25:10) and will be sorely missed if he is out of the lineup for an extended period of time. Before his injury, Heiskanen had five points (0G / 5A) during a five-game point streak.

With Miro Heiskanen (lower body) out week-to-week, Dallas has recalled Capobianco from the Texas Stars (AHL). The 27-year-old Capobianco has been solid from the blue line at the AHL level, scoring 28 points (2G / 26A) in 35 games with Texas this season.

The Stars have won two straight and will turn to Oettinger between the pipes on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Despite an unspectacular .857 SV%, saving 18 of 21 shots, Oettinger made several outstanding saves to secure a 4-3 victory over the Golden Knights in his most recent outing. The 26-year-old Oettinger has a 2.28 GAA and .913 SV% in 36 games this season (24-11-1). The Stars enter Tuesday's contest as slight +105 road underdogs against a Golden Knights club coming off a 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers.

The Stars have won two straight and will likely turn to Oettinger between the pipes on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Despite an unspectacular .857 SV%, saving 18 of 21 shots, Oettinger made several outstanding saves to secure a 4-3 victory over the Golden Knights in his most recent outing. The 26-year-old Oettinger has a 2.28 GAA and .913 SV% in 36 games this season (24-11-1). The Stars enter Tuesday's contest as slight +105 road underdogs against a Golden Knights club coming off a 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers.

Rantanen is in the final year of a six-year, $9.25M AAV deal and is seeking a massive new contract in the summer. Rantanen has tallied 25 goals and 39 assists (64 points) in 49 games this season, putting him on-pace for 42 goals and 65 assists (107 points). It would be the third consecutive 100-plus point season for the 28-year-old, who will likely slide onto the Hurricanes' top-line next to fellow countryman Sebastian Aho.

Oettinger will occupy Dallas' crease for a third consecutive game on Friday vs. Vegas as he tries to forget the 19-save (.895 SV%) loss he endured in his previous start vs. Carolina. The 26-year-old will look to continue his strong 2024-25 campaign, where he ranks 2nd among goalies in both Wins (23), and SV% (.914 SV%). He will host the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday, who snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 win over St. Louis in their previous contest.

Bichsel was the 18th overall pick of the Stars in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. He made his NHL debut earlier this season, scoring two points (2G / 0A) in eight games. The 20-year-old defenseman has six points (3G / 6A) in 28 games with the Texas Stars (AHL) this season.
