- The Stars have been without center Matt Duchene for nearly six weeks due to an upper-body injury. DLLS Sports’ Sam Nestler notes (Twitter link) that the 34-year-old has already technically been medically cleared to return. However, he continues to experience some lingering symptoms. As a result, head coach Glen Gulutzan indicated that Duchene will still need to be out a little while longer to get properly conditioned to return. Duchene has a goal and an assist in four games this season after tallying 82 points in 2024-25.
