We have enough content today for three or four separate shows! Officially announced last night after the Dallas Stars 1-0 win over the Washington Capitals, Thomas Harley has signed an eight-year, $84.696 million contract extension to keep him with the Stars through the 2033-34 season. Yesterday afternoon the Dallas Morning News dropped two bombshell stories. First, the Dallas Mavericks ownership filed a lawsuit against the Dallas Stars ownership in Texas Business Court over an alleged breach of contract, while also making claims that the Stars have obstructed further maintenance and improvements to American Airlines Centers – claims of which the Stars executives vehemently deny. Then, another article dropped reporting that the Stars are considering a new $1 billion arena in Plano, TX at the Shops at Willow Bend Mall site. Another chapter dropped this morning, when Lia Assimakopoulos, the Stars beat writer for the DMN, reported that the Stars late last night have filed a countersuit against the Mavericks.

Jake Oettinger stopped all 24 shots he faced to shutout the Washington Capitals 1-0 on Tuesday night at American Airlines Center. Tyler Seguin’s power play goal was all the offense the Dallas Stars would need in the game as Oettinger recorded his first shutout of the 2025-26 season, his second career shutout against the Capitals and the 13th of his NHL career. Not only did the Stars win their third-straight game, they also denied Alex Ovechkin his 900th career NHL goal, as the NHL’s all-time goals leader remained at 899.

Playing in their first back-to-back of the 2025-26 season, the Dallas Stars traveled to Nashville and beat the Predators 3-2 on Sunday night at Bridgestone Arena. It was nearly identical to the way they beat the Carolina Hurricanes in Dallas on Saturday night; fall behind 2-0 early, rally back with three unanswered goals to take a 3-2 lead and then bunker down to secure the victory. Oskar Bäck scored a goal in his season debut, returning from injury, while Wyatt Johnston scored the tying goal and Mikko Rantanen notched the game-winner on a third period power play. Casey DeSmith made 23 saves on 25 shots to record his first victory of the year and Jason Robertson led all skaters with a two assist performance.

The Columbus Blue Jackets jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead, and then pulled away in the third period, as they beat the Dallas Stars 5-1 on Tuesday night at American Airlines Center. Tyler Seguin scored the lone goal for the Stars in the second period, which at the time made it a 2-1 game. Seguin had another Grade-A chance early in the third, but missed over the net and that was as close as the Stars would get. Columbus added three more goals to hand Dallas its third-straight defeat.

The Dallas Stars won their first three games of the season and, while there were some issues to deal with, the vibes were strong early in Big D. Then the team coughed up a 2-0 lead and lost to Vancouver last Thursday night, then fell short in St. Louis 3-1 on Saturday, their first road loss of the season. Plus, the injury bug has crept into the conversation - with Matt Duchene dealing with an upper body injury after taking a huge hit from Minnesota’s Jake Middleton, Nils Lundkvist has been placed on IR with a lower body injury and several players have been dealing with an illness going through the ranks.

Mikko Rantanen’s goal with 2:18 left in regulation spoiled Jordan Binnington’s shutout bid, as the St. Louis Blues beat the Dallas Stars 3-1 on Saturday night at Enterprise Center. Jordan Kyrou and Jimmy Snuggerud each scored second period goals and Pius Suter added an empty-netter to round out the offense for the Blues. Wyatt Johnston had the primary assist on Rantanen’s goal, but had his season-opening four-game goal streak snapped.

The Vancouver Canucks scored four goals in the second period, rallying from a 2-0 deficit en route to a 5-3 win over the Dallas Stars on Thursday night at American Airlines Center. The Stars enjoyed a great start to the contest, scoring first for the fourth time in four games to open the season, as Mavrik Bourque opened his goals account for the campaign. Mikko Rantanen tallied a power play goal late in the frame for a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes. However, Vancouver came storming back with four consecutive goals in the second period from Filip Chytil, Brock Boeser, Max Sasson and Conor Garland. Wyatt Johnston found the net late in the third period, his fourth goal in as many games this year, but it was not enough, as Quinn Hughes added an empty net goal to finish off the game.

The Dallas Stars are a perfect 3-0-0 to begin the new season, after beating the Minnesota Wild 5-2 in their home opener on Tuesday night at American Airlines Center. The Stars raced out to a 3-0 lead, thanks to an early Esa Lindell goal and a pair of power play goals from Wyatt Johnston and Matt Duchene. However, the Wild fought back with two power play goals of their own in the third period by Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov, before Dallas pulled away with empty net goals from Radek Faksa and Roope Hintz. There was a scary moment early in the third period, when Matt Duchene took a huge open ice hit from Jake Middleton. Duchene was slow to get up, went down the tunnel and did not return to the game.

Welcome to our second annual NHL season predictions show! Last year at this time, the DLLS Stars Podcast hadn’t even been on the air for a full two months, yet we all made our predictions… and boy were we WAY OFF by the end of the 2024-25 season.

We will also - attempt to - predict the winners of the 2025-26 NHL regular season awards.
