    • Returns to lineup Tuesday
      Wheeler was back in action for Game 4 against the Panthers on Tuesday, recording four hits, two blocks and two PIM in 9:18 of ice time.

      Advice: Wheeler was in the lineup for the first time since Feb. 15 versus Montreal, a stretch of 41 games on the shelf due to his leg injury. Even with the veteran cleared to play, he may still have to serve as a healthy scratch periodically as he eases his way back to 100 percent, perhaps including Game 5 against Florida on Thursday.

    • Departs Wednesday's game
      Tanev (lower body) did not return to Wednesday's Game 4 after blocking a shot in the second period.

      Advice: The Stars initially labeled Tanev as questionable to return, but his inability to get back on the ice in this contest is not a positive sign. The 34-year-old defenseman is a key part of the Stars' defensive structure, so a potential absence for Friday's Game 5 or beyond could spell trouble for the team. If Tanev is unable to play, Nils Lundkvist is the most likely player to draw into the lineup, though he has seen very sheltered minutes when he's played during the postseason.

    • Won't play Wednesday
      Hakanpaa (lower body) isn't expected to play in Game 4 against Edmonton on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

      Advice: Hakanpaa hasn't been in the lineup since March 16, and it's unclear when he might be able to return. He had two goals, 12 points, 196 hits and 123 blocks in 64 appearances during the regular season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:29 am
       
    • Bends twine in Game 4
      Bennett scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers in Game 4.

      Advice: Since returning from injury, Bennett has notched three goals and two assists, including three power-play points, in his last eight contests. The 27-year-old center has been boom or bust on the shot front over that stretch, having failed to garner a single shot in three of those eight outings. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:23 am
       
    • Supplies goal in loss
      Lafreniere netted a goal in a 3-2 overtime loss to Florida in Game 4 on Tuesday.

      Advice: Lafreniere's marker came early in the third period to tie the contest at 2-2. He's on a roll with three goals over his past two contests, bringing him up to seven tallies and 13 points through 14 playoff outings this year. His superb play in the postseason follows a strong 2023-24 campaign in which he set career highs with 28 goals and 57 points across 82 regular-season appearances.

    • Contributes assist in win
      Stankoven logged an assist and three blocked shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Stankoven set up a Wyatt Johnston tally at 9:08 of the second period, which put the Stars ahead 3-2. The helper ended Stankoven's three-game dry spell. The 21-year-old has stepped into a middle-six role and handled himself well, picking up seven points, 27 shots on net, 20 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 16 playoff outings. He's got a bright future, but for now Stankoven is filling a supporting role. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:04 pm
       
    • Unavailable Monday
      Hakanpaa (lower body) will not be available Monday against the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

      Advice: Hakanpaa has not played since March 16 and there's been little update on his return status. The 32-year-old tallied 12 points in 64 games during the regular season. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:16 pm
       
    • Slides helper in overtime loss
      Rodrigues notched an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

      Advice: Rodrigues snapped a four-game point drought with his helper on a Gustav Forsling tally in the third period. For the most part, Rodrigues has filled a depth role this postseason, earning seven points, 26 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-2 rating over 14 contests. The 30-year-old can fill in for top-six minutes when necessary, but with the Panthers at full health, he's likely to remain on the third line. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:15 pm
       
    • Scores twice in overtime win
      Lafreniere scored two goals on six shots and added three hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

      Advice: Lafreniere scored a goal in each of the first two periods. He entered Sunday on a four-game point drought, though he added eight shots on net and 12 hits over that span before breaking through with a strong game on the scoresheet. Prior to his slump, Lafreniere was playing a key supporting role for the Rangers. He's at six goals, six helpers, 36 shots, 27 hits and a plus-1 rating over 13 playoff appearances.
