It's February 23rd for the Dallas Stars. Let's get into it. Dallas Stars players shone bright at the 2026 Winter Olympics, bringing home six medals in total. Jake Oettinger earned gold as backup goalie for Team USA, which beat Canada 2-1 in overtime during the championship game.
What achievements did Dallas Stars players accomplish at the 2026 Winter Olympics?
Thomas Harley grabbed silver with Canada, while Mikko Rantanen, Isa Lindell, Ru Pintz, and Miro Heiskanen all won bronze medals with Finland. Harley logged the fourth most ice time on Canada at 118 minutes and 14 seconds, picking up one goal and three assists along the way. Heiskanen and Lindell led all players in minutes for Finland, helping secure that bronze after a strong tournament run. Stars coach Glenn Galutzin called it a huge success, saying the high-level experience will make everyone better. Harley agreed, noting it proves you belong at the top and makes the NHL feel a bit slower when you return. Players like Duchesne are pumped. Stressing the right mentality and details will get them back on track.
Rantanen picked up a lower body injury against Canada, and there's no update yet on him or Radek Faksa from Czechia. Both should rejoin the star as soon as they gear up for Wednesday's game against Seattle, with 25 games left in a tight schedule. The team is using this mini-camp to recapture the fire from their six-game winning streak before the break, more aggressive, physical play across the board.
With Olympic hunger fueling them, the stars look ready to push hard into the playoffs. Support for this episode comes from our sponsor. See the description.
