Mikko Rantanen

The team's activating 29-year-old forward Mikko Rantanen off injured reserve right on time for the playoffs.

Rantanen got hurt with a lower body injury during the 2026 Winter Olympics playing for Finland, sidelining him for the last 15 games and knocking him out of the tournament early.

This season in 54 games, he's racked up 69 points with 20 goals and 49 assists, making him one of their top scorers and fans are buzzing about the firepower he brings back.

He landed with the Stars back in the 2024-25 season after getting traded from the Colorado Avalanche to the Carolina.

Hurricanes, then straight to Dallas, where he's been a key piece ever since.

With a playoff spot locked in the Central Division and just 10 games left, including this Penguins clash, Ron Tannen gets prime time to shake off rest and help chase that top seed for a real shot at the Stanley Cup run.
