  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Poised to play Wednesday

    Lundkvist (illness) will return to the lineup against Buffalo on Wednesday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Still shelved Monday

    Lundkvist (illness) will miss Monday's road matchup against the Maple Leafs, per the NHL Media Site.

    Lundkvist will miss his third consecutive game Monday with an illness. Across 51 contests this season, the 25-year-old blueliner has eight assists, 11 points, 46 shots on net, 26 hits and 47 blocked shots. His last chance to return to the Stars' lineup prior to the playoffs is Wednesday's road game in Buffalo.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Remains out Saturday

    Lundkvist (illness) isn't playing Saturday versus the Rangers, per the NHL media site.

    Lundkvist has three goals and 11 points in 51 outings in 2025-26. This will be his second straight game on the shelf. Lundkvist's next opportunity to return will come Monday in Toronto.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Won't play Thursday

    Lundkvist has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Wild due to an illness, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Lundkvist hasn't missed a game since mid-December, but he'll be unavailable for at least one matchup due to his illness. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his next opportunity to do so will be Saturday against the Rangers.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Bags assist in loss

    Lundkvist logged an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.

    Lundkvist hasn't been much of a factor offensively lately, earning three assists over 12 games in March. He has added a minus-1 rating, 14 shots on net and 10 blocked shots this month. Despite his lackluster production, he's been a fixture in the lineup while the Stars carry nine defensemen on the roster, including some that would be more suited to shutdown work. For the season, Lundkvist has 10 points, 43 shots on net, 41 blocks, 25 hits and a plus-9 rating across 44 contests.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Pots goal Monday

    Lundkvist scored a goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

    Lundkvist's tally tied the game at 2-2 late in the second period. The 25-year-old was limited to two helpers, 17 shots on net, 10 hits and 11 blocked shots over 15 outings in January. For the season, he's put up three goals, four assists, 27 shots, 29 blocks, 21 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 29 appearances. He's filling a bottom-four role and is rarely involved in special teams, so Lundkvist has limited fantasy appeal.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Ready to roll

    Lundkvist (lower body) is good to go for Wednesday's home contest against the Sabres, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

    Lundkvist won't miss any game action after taking a maintenance day Sunday. The Swedish defenseman skated next to Thomas Harley on the second pairing during Tuesday's practice. Lundkvist scored his first goal since the Stars' regular-season opener against the Blackhawks on Saturday, snapping his nine-game point drought in the process.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Now dealing with lower-body injury

    Lundkvist has been playing through a lower-body injury, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports Sunday.

    Lundkvist is dealing with a whole host of injuries including a lower-body injury that he's playing with as of late. None of these injuries are a concern, though, as he will practice Tuesday ahead of the Stars' next game Wednesday. The 25-year-old has four points (two goals, two assists) in 12 games so far this season.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Gets stitches after puck to face

    Lundkvist required stitches after taking a puck to the face late in the third period of Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blackhawks, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

    Lundkvist scored a goal in the contest, but he wasn't able to finish the game. Nestler reported that Lundkvist seemed fine despite missing his media availability after the game, so he can be considered on the probable side of day-to-day for Wednesday's contest versus the Sabres. He's up to four points in 12 outings this season.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Good to go

    Lundkvist (illness) will be in the lineup against the Kings on Monday, Brien Rea of Victory+ reports.

    After missing the last two games, Lundkvist will replace Kyle Capobianco in Monday's lineup. The 25-year-old Lundkvist has one goal, two assists, three shots on net, seven blocked shots and five hits through six appearances this season.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Not playing Saturday

    Lundkvist has not recovered from his illness and will not play against the Panthers on Saturday, according to Stars insider Robert Tiffin.

    Lundkvist will miss his second straight game. Lundkvist was absent for 25 games earlier in the season due to a lower-body injury, returning for a pair of games before his illness setback. Lundkvist has one goal and two assists in six NHL outings this season and could return as early as Monday against the Kings.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Unavailable Thursday

    Lundkvist (illness) will miss Thursday's game in Minnesota, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

    Lundkvist has a goal and three points in six outings this season. Vladislav Kolyachonok is projected to draw into the lineup due to Lundkvist's absence.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Ready for return

    Lundkvist was activated off of long-term injured reserve by the Stars on Sunday.

    Reinforcements are coming for the Stars, who also activated Matt Duchene (upper body) from LTIR. Lundkvist has been out of the lineup with a lower-body injury since early October, playing in only four games. In those contests, he recorded three points (one goal, two assists). The 25-year-old will provide a needed boost to the Dallas defense corps, which is still without Thomas Harley (lower body) and Lian Bichsel (lower body). Lundkvist is expected to play Sunday against the Penguins.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Considered day-to-day

    Lundkvist (lower body) was labeled day-to-day by head coach Glen Gulutzan and could return as early as Tuesday's matchup with Winnipeg, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

    Based on his timeline, Lundkvist won't be an option for the Stars' next two outings, but he certainly seems to be trending in the right direction. With Thomas Harley (lower body) on a similar timeline, both Kyle Capobianco and Vladislav Kolyachonok could be headed back to the minors when Lundkvist is cleared to come off long-term injured reserve.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Moves to LTIR

    Lundkvist (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Sunday, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

    In corresponding moves, the Stars also recalled Kyle Capobianco from AHL Texas and activated Oskar Back (undisclosed) from injured reserve. Lundkvist is week-to-week and has missed the last four games. He won't be eligible to play until at least Nov. 11 against Ottawa, but it's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Deemed week-to-week

    Lundkvist (lower body) will be placed on injured reserve and is week-to-week, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News on Monday.

    As expected, Lundkvist will miss additional time after sitting out Saturday's 3-1 loss to St. Louis. However, it remains unclear when he will be available to return. Ilya Lyubushkin will probably stay in the lineup until Lundkvist is healthy.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Expected to miss some time

    Lundkvist (lower body) is expected to be "out for a little bit," head coach Glen Gulutzan told Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars on Saturday.

    Lundkvist missed Saturday's 3-1 loss to St. Louis, and it sounds like that won't be the extent of his time on the shelf. The 25-year-old has a goal and three points in four outings this year. Ilya Lyubushkin will probably play regularly while Lundkvist is unavailable.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Sitting out Saturday

    Lundkvist (lower body) won't suit up Saturday versus the Blues, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

    Lundkvist was a game-time decision but appears unable to play after sustaining the injury Thursday versus the Canucks. Ilya Lyubushkin will draw back into the lineup to replace Lundkvist, who will try to get healthy in time for Tuesday's contest versus the Blue Jackets.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Game-time call

    Lundkvist (lower body) will be a game-time decision against the Blues on Saturday, per Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars.
