The Dallas Stars are heading into the 2025-26 season with big expectations after three straight trips to the Western Conference Final.
NHL.com's projected lineup shows a roster stacked with stars, new additions, and a mix of youth and experience designed to push for the Stanley Cup.
Here's a clear look at the lineup Dallas is expected to roll with:
Jason Robertson - Roope Hintz - Mikko Rantanen
Jason Robertson, Roope Hintz, and Mikko Rantanen headline a deep Stars lineup with Jake Oettinger leading the way in goal
This group has a lot of balance.
The top line is one of the best in the league, while depth players like Radek Faksa and Sam Steel give Dallas the ability to roll four lines effectively.
On defense, Heiskanen remains the star, but I think Harley's growth could be just as important if the Stars want to finally get past Edmonton.
Oettinger, as always, will be the backbone, and I believe he has another level to reach this year.
If this lineup stays healthy, it might finally be enough to deliver Dallas its long-awaited Stanley Cup Final berth.
