  • Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Notches helper in Sunday's loss

    Edvinsson recorded an assist in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.

    Edvinsson was initially credited with the goal, but it was tipped home by Marco Kasper to break up Jake Oettinger's shutout bid. With four helpers over his last seven outings, Edvinsson has taken a step up on offense recently. The 21-year-old blueliner is at four goals, 18 points, 47 shots on net, 41 hits, 74 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 42 appearances. Edvinsson will likely continue to handle top-four minutes.

    Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Garners helper in loss

    Larkin managed an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.

    Larkin has lit up the scoresheet with eight goals and eight assists over his last 12 contests. He's done a lot of damage on the power play, earning eight points with the man advantage in that span. The 28-year-old center is up to a total of 42 points (20 goals, 22 helpers), 129 shots on net, 21 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 46 appearances in a top-line role.

  • Marco Kasper C | DET

    Red Wings' Marco Kasper: Scores lone goal in loss

    Kasper scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.

    Kasper got a low tip through traffic on a Simon Edvinsson shot to put the Red Wings on the board at 12:01 of the third period. The 20-year-old Kasper has three goals and four assists over his last six contests as he continues to thrive on the top line at even strength. The rookie is up to six goals, 14 points, 62 shots on net, 71 hits and a minus-9 rating through 41 appearances this season.

  • Alex Lyon G | DET

    Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Surrenders four goals in loss

    Lyon allowed four goals on 25 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.

    Lyon made his return from an upper-body injury in a relief appearance Saturday versus the Lightning. His first start since the injury didn't go well, as the Stars tagged him for three goals in the first period and coasted to the win from there. The 32-year-old netminder is now 8-6-0 with a 2.73 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 18 appearances this season. Lyon and Cam Talbot will compete for starts going forward, with the Red Wings' next game being Tuesday in Philadelphia.

  • Stars' Justin Hryckowian: Earns first career assist

    Hryckowian notched an assist and added two hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

    The 23-year-old forward set up Matej Blumel's tally in the first period. This was Hryckowian's first NHL point over five appearances, and he's added just three shots on net and eight hits. He'll likely remain in a fourth-line role while the Stars are down a couple of forwards, but he could head back to AHL Texas once Roope Hintz (upper body) and Mason Marchment (face) are able to play again.

  • Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Assists in back-to-back games

    Lyubushkin posted an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

    Lyubushkin has followed up a 10-game point drought with a helper in each of the last two contests. This burst of offense is unlikely to last long for the 30-year-old defenseman, who plays in more of a physical role on the Stars' blue line. He has 10 helpers, 26 shots on net, 70 blocked shots, 51 hits and a plus-8 rating through 46 appearances. Lyubushkin's career high in points is 15 from the 2021-22 campaign he split between the Coyotes and the Maple Leafs, and he's in a position to top that number in 2024-25.

  • Stars' Colin Blackwell: Pockets helper in win

    Blackwell provided an assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

    Blackwell helped out on a Marej Blumel goal that opened the scoring 5:26 into the game. This was Blackwell's second helper over the last five contests. He remains in a fourth-line role, so his scoring contributions are likely to be limited. He's up to 10 points, 45 shots on net, 54 hits and a plus-2 rating through 41 appearances this season.

  • Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Adds power-play helper in win

    Heiskanen logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

    Heiskanen has picked up four points over 10 outings in January, with three of them coming on the power play. The 25-year-old defenseman is up to 21 points (seven on the power play), 104 shots on net, 78 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 46 appearances. Heiskanen's large role will help him maintain fantasy value, but his lack of consistency on offense has kept him from being among the truly elite blueliners this season.

  • Matt Duchene C | DAL

    Stars' Matt Duchene: Contributes pair of assists

    Duchene logged two assists and three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

    One of the helper came on the power play. Duchene has logged multiple points in back-to-back contests and three of his last four games. The 34-year-old center is getting back on track following a recent three-game dry spell. For the season, he's at an excellent 18 goals, 27 helpers, 15 power-play points, 84 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 46 outings in a top-six role.

  • Matej Blumel RW | DAL

    Stars' Matej Blumel: Scores first goal of season

    Blumel scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

    Blumel opened the scoring at 5:26 of the first period. It was the first point of the season at the NHL level for the 24-year-old forward, who has added 10 shots on net and six hits over six outings. Blumel is likely to continue filling in on the fourth line as long as Roope Hintz (upper body) is sidelined.
