Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Picks up assist
Lundkvist notched an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Flames.
Lundkvist has been in the lineup for six games in a row since he recovered from a lower-body injury. The defenseman picked up his first point since Nov. 7 when he set up Thomas Harley's first goal in the third period. Lundkvist is now at two assists, 27 shots on net, 15 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 21 appearances. That's not enough production in any area to be trusted in fantasy, though it looks like he has the upper hand over Brendan Smith for a spot in the lineup.

Lundkvist (lower body) will return to the lineup versus the Avalanche on Friday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Remains unavailable
Lundkvist (lower body) won't play Wednesday against Chicago, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Still sidelined versus Carolina
Lundkvist (lower body) will remain on the shelf against Carolina on Monday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.
Lundkvist will miss his fourth game in the Stars' last five contests, with his last two absences due to his lower-body injury. Even when healthy, the 24-year-old blueliner is far from a lock for the lineup and will likely split time with Brendan Smith the rest of the way. As such, Lundkvist will be hard-pressed to offer more than low-end fantasy value, with most of that production coming from hits and blocked shots, though he's not an elite option in either of those categories.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Unavailable Saturday
Lundkvist (lower body) will not play in Tampa Bay on Saturday, according to Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars.
Lundkvist returned to action Wednesday after missing two games, but he logged only 6:38 of ice time before leaving the game. The 24-year-old has one assist in 15 games this season.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Traveling with team
Lundkvist (lower body) will be with the Stars for their three-game road trip and is considered day-to-day, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports Friday.
Lundkvist was back in the lineup against the Sharks on Wednesday after having spent two games in the press box as a healthy scratch, only to suffer a lower-body injury after logging just 6:38 of ice time. As such, even if the blueliner is given the all-clear ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Lightning, he could still be scratched in favor of Brendan Smith.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Sustains injury
Lundkvist won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Sharks due to a lower-body injury.
Lundkvist was injured in the second period, leaving the Stars to finish Wednesday's contest with five blueliners. The 24-year-old defenseman should be considered day-to-day for now. If he can't play Saturday versus the Lightning, Brendan Smith will likely rejoin the lineup. If the injury is significant, the Stars may call up a blueliner to replace Lundkvist.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Grabs helper in win
Lundkvist notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Lundkvist got on the scoresheet for the first time this season just one game after his first healthy scratch. The 24-year-old has held a spot in the lineup over Brendan Smith for the most part. Lundkvist has contributed 12 shots on net, 11 hits, eight blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-2 rating through 11 appearances. He'll remain in a bottom-four role with minimal power-play time, so Lundkvist would have to up his production across the board to be an option for most fantasy managers despite his steady playing time.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Strong share of playing time
Lundkvist has played in 10 of the Stars' first 11 games.
Lundkvist was a healthy scratch for Saturday's second game in the NHL Global Series set against the Panthers, but that's the first time he's sat out this year. The 24-year-old is still looking for his first point while averaging 14:19 of ice time. He's added nine shots on net, nine hits, eight blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-1. It hasn't been unusual for Lundkvist to start the season in a large role under head coach Pete DeBoer -- he played in the Stars' first 21 games last year before sitting out 23 times over the last 61 contests, though seven of those absences were due to a concussion.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Agrees to one-year deal
Lundkvist signed a one-year, $1.25 million contract with the Stars on Monday.
Lundkvist had two goals and 19 points in 59 regular-season games in 2023-24. His role with Dallas might be limited following the signings of defensemen Matt Dumba and Ilya Lyubushkin. As a result, it wouldn't be surprising if Lundkvist ends up serving primarily as Dallas' seventh blueliner, which was a common occurrence for him down the stretch and in the playoffs last season.

Nils Lundkvist : Eligible for free agency
Lundkvist will be an unrestricted free agent Monday after Dallas didn't issue him a qualifying offer Sunday.
Lundkvist accounted for two goals, 19 points, 73 shots on net and 44 hits in 59 regular-season appearances with the Stars in 2023-24. The 23-year-old blueliner averaged just 4:28 of ice time per contest during the playoffs across 12 outings.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Gets on scoresheet Thursday
Lundkvist posted an assist in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.
Lundkvist's minutes have been heavily managed during the postseason -- he's reached 10 minutes of ice time in just one of nine playoff games. As such, he's produced next to nothing statistically, with the assist being his first point to go with a minus-1 rating, one shot on goal, five hits and one blocked shot. Lundkvist will almost certainly lose his place in the lineup once Jani Hakanpaa (lower body) is fit to play.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Hands out assist in win
Lundkvist notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
Lundkvist had a shot that Wyatt Johnston tipped in late in the second period. This was Lundkvist's fourth helper over six games since he replaced Jani Hakanpaa (lower body) in the lineup. Lundkvist is up to 19 points, 67 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 40 hits and a plus-15 rating through 52 appearances on the year.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Picks up helper
Lundkvist notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
Lundkvist has three helpers over the last four games. He's done an admirable job while filling in for Jani Hakanpaa (lower body) in a bottom-four role. For the season, Lundkvist has a career-high 18 points with 66 shots on net, 38 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 50 appearances. When the Stars' defense is back to full health, he may not have a place in the lineup.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Playing Friday
Lundkvist (face) will be in the lineup Friday versus Pittsburgh, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.
Lundkvist needed stitches when he was cut in the face during the Stars' 5-2 win over Arizona on Wednesday. He picked up a pair of assists in the contest after being a healthy scratch for the previous four games. Lundkvist has two goals and 17 points in 47 games this season.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Gets stitches after game
Lundkvist (face) needed stitches after exiting Wednesday's game versus the Coyotes in the third period, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Lundkvist was impressive over 14:14 of ice time against Arizona with two assists, four shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots prior to his injury. The 23-year-old was in the lineup because Jani Hakanpaa (lower body) was unable to play Wednesday. Lundkvist has had trouble getting in the lineup, but it appears he's avoided a more serious injury. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game versus the Penguins.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : In action Thursday
Lundkvist (concussion) will return to the lineup against Winnipeg on Thursday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.
Lundkvist is set to return to the lineup after missing the Stars' last seven games due to his concussion. With the defenseman back, he could be in line for a spot with the second power-play unit while relegating Joel Hanley to a spot in the press box. For his part, Lundkvist has managed just one point in his previous seven contests, so he probably shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Not available Tuesday
Lundkvist (concussion) won't play Tuesday versus the Avalanche, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.
Head coach Pete DeBoer said that Jani Hakanpaa (upper body) returning was the only change among his skaters from the group that lost 3-2 in overtime to the Islanders on Monday. Lundkvist will be out for his seventh straight game, but there's a sense he's getting close to being available. The Stars are back home Thursday versus the Jets.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Still sidelined
Lundkvist (concussion) won't be available for Monday's game versus the Islanders, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.
Although Lundkvist will miss a sixth straight contest Monday, he's reportedly close to returning, suggesting he could be back as soon as Tuesday against the Avalanche or Thursday versus the Jets. The 23-year-old Swede has picked up 15 points while averaging only 15:08 of ice time per game through 43 contests this campaign.

Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Missing from road trip
Lundkvist (concussion) didn't join the Stars for their four-game road trip, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports Monday.
Lundkvist needs just one more point to match his total from last season but will need to wait until at least next Monday's clash with the Islanders to get back on the scoresheet. An injury to Jani Hakanpaa (upper body) will see both Derrick Pouliot and Alex Petrovic inserted into the lineup against Boston on Monday.
