Nils Lundkvist is poised to break through—after years of injuries and inconsistent ice time, the 26-year-old Dallas defenseman delivered flashes of elite potential last season, posting 11 points in 52 games with a career-high 16:29 average ice time. Despite missing chunks of the year due to injury and facing healthy scratches, he shone when on the ice, delivering crucial goals and a plus-12 rating that ranked him fourth on the team. Signed to a two-year extension before playoffs, he’s seen as a vital piece—especially with limited right-handed defense options. But his path has been paved with setbacks, including a playoff facial cut. The real test? Can he stay healthy and turn his talent into nightly impact this upcoming season?
