The Dallas Stars' 2025‑26 season comes with some unusual twists and must-watch moments, as highlighted by the DLLS Stars podcast, from key homecomings to a bizarre Olympic break that could disrupt momentum.
One of the biggest dates to circle is October 25, when Logan Stankoven returns to American Airlines Center for the first time as an opponent, skating with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Just two weeks later, on November 9, Mason Marchment will make his own Dallas homecoming as a member of the Seattle Kraken.
Both games will mark emotional nights for fans, given how impactful those players were during their time with the Stars. You can hear the podcast's clip here:
Glen Gulutzan's Oilers reunion and an unusual Olympic break will define early storylines
The third major note involves Dallas' new head coach, Glen Gulutzan, who will face his former team, the Edmonton Oilers, on November 4 at American Airlines Center. It will be his first time behind the bench against Edmonton, adding a personal edge to an already heated rivalry game.
Finally, the Stars' schedule contains one of the longest in-season breaks in recent memory, with the team sitting idle for 20 straight days in February due to the 2026 Winter Olympics.
While the rest could help with injuries, it could also halt momentum during a crucial part of the season, leaving Dallas needing to quickly find its rhythm once play resumes.
For fans tracking key matchups, the Stars' schedule and full game-by-game details can be found at NHL.com.
I think these early storylines, especially the return of fan favorites and the Olympic pause, will shape how Dallas navigates the first half of their season.
