What recent successes have the Dallas Stars achieved despite injuries?
On this March 17th, here's what's making headlines for the Dallas Stars. The Dallas Stars are on fire, winning 14 of their last 16 games, but they face a tough stretch without three key forwards. Mikko Rantanen, Ru Pence, and Roddick Foxa are all sidelined with lower body injuries, and none are close to returning anytime soon. Rantanen picked up his injury playing for Finland at the Winter Olympics in Milan, missing their bronze medal win. He's at least 10 days to two weeks away from skating again and won't join the team on their road trip this week.
Who are the key players sidelined by injuries and what is their status?
Hintz and Fox are even further out, possibly not back until the first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs. With only 15 games left in the regular season, these absences could hurt, but the Stars have responded with strong play. Their eight wins, zero losses, and one tie since the Olympics, outscoring opponents 21-0 in goals during that run.
How have new additions impacted the Dallas Stars' performance?
New additions Tyler Myers from Vancouver and Michael Bunting from Nashville have stepped up big, adding depth to fill the gaps. That grit helped Dallas close to within three points of the Colorado Avalanche in the race for the top regular season spot.
What are fans hoping for regarding player returns before the playoffs?
Fans hope Brantanen returns by late March and maybe hence squeezes in a few games before playoffs. Even after a 6-3 loss to Utah on Monday, the Stars haven't lost in regulation since January 22nd, showing they're built for a deep run. Appreciation to our sponsor for backing this episode.
