Questions
Who is out for the Stars?
5 Stars players are listed out or on injured reserve right now: Esa Lindell (D), Matt Duchene (C), Oskar Back (C), Cameron Hughes (C), Luke Krys (D). 1 more is day-to-day. Each entry shows the injury and the reported expected return, which is an estimate rather than a promise.
When does the Stars injury report come out?
The NHL has no league-mandated injury report. Clubs announce injuries and lineup changes when they choose, most often after the morning skate on game day, and often describe injuries only as upper or lower body. This page rebuilds through the day from ESPN's injury data, which follows those announcements.
How many points are the Stars projected for in 2026-27?
103.7 points on average across 20,000 simulated seasons, from a 6-3-1 start. That gives the Stars a 82% chance to make the playoffs and 8% to win the Stanley Cup. The rating behind it uses game results only, never betting lines.
