Stars' Mikael Granlund: Nabs power-play helper
Granlund logged a power-play assist in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Granlund helped out on a Jamie Benn goal in the third period, which tied the game at 1-1. This resulted from a lineup shuffle that saw Granlund get bumped up to the first line after the Stars' offense largely sputtered for the first two contests of the series. The Finn has one helper, two shots on net, five hits, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over three playoff games after posting 22 goals and 66 points across 83 regular-season outings between the Stars and Sharks.

Stars' Mason Marchment: Sets up game-winner
Marchment notched an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and four PIM in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Marchment took a double-minor penalty for high-sticking late in the third period, which would have made him a scapegoat if the Stars had lost. Instead, the penalty kill stepped up, and Marchment atoned for his mistake by setting up Tyler Seguin on the game-winning goal 5:31 into overtime. The helper was Marchment's second of the series, and he's added six shots on net, 11 hits and eight PIM. He's a decent source of scoring and toughness for fantasy.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Records power-play helper
Harley logged a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Harley set up Jamie Benn's game-tying goal at 9:18 of the third period. The 23-year-old Harley has a goal, two power-play assists, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over three playoff contests. He's been one of the Stars' most consistent players and should continue to do that while being the team's leader on the blue line in the first round.

Stars' Mikko Rantanen: Helps out in overtime
Rantanen logged an assist, five shots on goal, three blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Rantanen snapped a three-game dry spell with the helper, but he's still gone seven contests without a goal. The winger was back in a top-line role Wednesday after failing to make much of an impact alongside Wyatt Johnston and Jamie Benn back on home ice in the first two playoff games. Rantanen has 11 shots on net, five hits, six blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across three playoff outings. He's getting his chances, so his luck should turn around eventually.

Stars' Tyler Seguin: Seals Game 3 win in overtime
Seguin scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Seguin converted on a feed from Mason Marchment to give the Stars the win and 2-1 series lead at 5:31 of overtime. He's picked up three points over four contests since returning from a long-term hip injury, and he's looked just fine playing on the Stars' second line. Seguin has added six shots on net, two hits and an even plus-minus rating over three playoff outings.

Stars' Jamie Benn: Breaks goal drought
Benn scored a power-play goal, added four hits and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Benn had gone 19 games without a goal, a span that also saw him miss two contests due to a lower-body injury. That slump came to an end with a third-period tally, which tied the game at 1-1. Benn has two points, six shots on net, nine hits and an even plus-minus rating over three playoff outings so far. He'll likely continue to feature on the third line and second power-play unit.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Steady in Game 3 win
Oettinger allowed one goal on 28 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Oettinger gave up an early goal to Valeri Nichushkin, but he was able to shut the door for the rest of the contest. This was Oettinger's second overtime win in a row, allowing the Stars to pull ahead 2-1 in the series despite not yet having much control in the games. He's allowed eight goals on 89 shots over three games. Oettinger will likely get the nod again for Game 4 on Saturday.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Starting in Game 3
Oettinger will defend the home crease in Wednesday's Game 3 against Colorado, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
After taking the loss in Game 1 of the Stars' first-round series, Oettinger was more effective during Monday's Game 2 overtime victory, turning aside 34 of 37 shots (.919 save percentage) to snap a five-game losing streak. The 26-year-old will attempt to remain effective as the Stars return home Wednesday.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Not ready to return Wednesday
Heiskanen (knee) will miss Game 3 versus Colorado on Wednesday, per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.
Heiskanen had five goals and 25 points across 50 regular-season appearances with Dallas in 2024-25. He hasn't played since Jan. 28, but he is getting close to returning, so perhaps Heiskanen will be an option for Game 4 on Saturday. When the 25-year-old is ready to return, he should serve in a top-four capacity and on the first power-play unit.

Stars' Jason Robertson: Won't travel with team
Robertson (knee) won't accompany the Stars to Denver for Games 3 and 4 against Colorado, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports Tuesday.
Robertson remains week-to-week, and there is no update on his status other than that he has been working out off the ice. Robertson's availability for Round 1 remains doubtful, and it's still unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He amassed 35 goals, 80 points and 211 shots on net in 82 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Traveling with team
Heiskanen (knee) will travel with the Stars for Games 3 and 4 in Colorado, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports Tuesday.
Heiskanen has been on the shelf since Jan. 28 versus the Golden Knights, a stretch of 34 games on the sidelines. Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner was struggling to find the back of the net, going 10 games without putting one over the goal line. Still, he did manage to pick up a helper in each of his last five appearances. If cleared to return for Game 3 on Wednesday, the Finn would likely reclaim his spot on the first power-play unit, making him a top-end fantasy target.

Stars' Cody Ceci: Helps out in overtime
Ceci notched an assist, four hits, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 2.
Ceci has picked up three helpers over his last seven outings. The 31-year-old is playing in a top-four role for the Stars, and he'll provide physicality with a little bit of depth scoring. Ceci racked up 24 points over 85 regular-season contests between the Stars and the Sharks, as well as 155 blocked shots, 76 hits and a plus-6 rating.

Stars' Oskar Back: Records assist in Game 2
Back notched an assist and two hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 2.
Back was scratched three times over the last 10 games of the regular season, though he earned two assists over seven appearances in that span. The 25-year-old rookie is filling a fourth-line role while the Stars are without Jason Robertson (knee) to begin the playoffs. Back had 16 points in 73 regular-season outings, but it's his defensive play that will help him stay in the lineup during the postseason.

Stars' Sam Steel: Supplies two assists
Steel notched two assists and three hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 2.
The Stars leaned on their depth to even the series at one game apiece, and Steel was a big part of it. He set up goals by Thomas Harley and Colin Blackwell, with the latter's tally coming at 17:46 of overtime. This was Steel's first multi-point effort since he had a goal and an assist versus the Kings on Feb. 28. The center racked up 25 points, 89 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-6 rating over 79 regular-season outings while playing primarily on the fourth line.

Stars' Evgenii Dadonov: Nets equalizer
Dadonov scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 2.
Dadonov's tally midway through the third period tied the game at 3-3. The 36-year-old winger is playing in a larger role at even strength during the absence of Jason Robertson (knee). Still, Dadonov is more of a complementary player -- he had 20 goals, 40 points, 123 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 80 regular-season contests.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Tallies in Game 2 win
Harley scored a goal and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 2.
Harley got on the scoresheet for the second game in a row in the playoffs. His tally put the Stars ahead 2-1 briefly in the second period -- Jack Drury tied it again for the Avalanche just over a minute later. Harley continues to play a massive role for the Stars in the absence of Miro Heiskanen (knee). Harley logged 35:54 of ice time Monday with the game nearly completing one extra period.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Earns win in Game 2 on Monday
Oettinger stopped 34 of 37 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 2.
As has happened plenty of times in the past, Oettinger came through in a game where the Stars needed him to be at his best. Even though his recent performances have left a lot to be desired, as he's now given up three or more goals in six straight outings dating back to the regular season, Oettinger at least did enough to carry the Stars to victory. This was his first win of any kind since April 3, and the Stars will continue to rely on him. The next two games of the series will be in Colorado on Wednesday and Saturday.
