| 5/1/26 | ![]() Not Good Enough, Not Healthy Enough, Dallas Stars Season Ends Much Too Soon | DLLS Stars Podcast | The Dallas Stars saw their season come to an end last night in their Game 6 loss to the Minnesota Wild at Grand Casino Arena, as they were eliminated from the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. It’s a blunt reminder of just how difficult it is to win a playoff series, as the Stars have won six series over the last four post season campaigns (2023-2026). Today, we start to digest the end of the season by breaking down some post Game 6 reaction from head coach Glen Gulutzan and several players and we will begin to dive a little deeper on a lot of hard questions facing the organization as they now turn their collective attention to the 2026-27 season. We take a bigger look at the injuries suffered all season, not just during the playoffs. Plus, now that the Stars are out, who do we root for in the rest of the playoffs this year? | — | ||||||
| 5/1/26 | ![]() Dallas Stars Eliminated From Playoffs Following Game 6 Loss To Minnesota Wild | DLLS STARS POSTGAME | The Dallas Stars season came to a close tonight as they lost to the Minnesota Wild 5-2 in Game 6 at Grand Casino Arena, dropping their first round playoff series 4-2. Quinn Hughes had a game-high three points (2 goals, 1 assist), Vladimir Tarasenko scored his first goal of the series and Matt Boldy added two empty net goals. Wyatt Johnston scored a power play goal and Mavrik Bourque scored his first career Stanley Cup playoff goal (and point). Join the DLLS Stars Post Game Show as we recap all the main storylines, provide comprehensive breakdowns of key plays and we take your Super Chats! | — | ||||||
| 4/30/26 | ![]() Stars Getting BULLIED, Wild DOMINATING the Net Front | The Dallas Stars’ struggles are being put under the microscope as the physical edge, net-front battles, and defensive breakdowns continue to define this series. Minnesota’s aggressive style, out-hitting Dallas and consistently winning races to the front of the net is creating chaos in key areas, making life difficult for Jake Oettinger while limiting the Stars’ ability to generate high-danger chances of their own. The breakdown highlights a major issue: Dallas is too often playing on the perimeter, failing to establish traffic in front of the net, and losing critical positioning battles in both zones. Meanwhile, the Wild are executing a relentless game plan that is paying off in crucial moments. From missed assignments to lack of net-front presence, the Stars are being forced into a reactive style of play and it’s costing them. The question now: can Dallas flip the script, get to the dirty areas, and start dictating play before it’s too late? | — | ||||||
| 4/30/26 | ![]() Stars Offense SHUT DOWN, Why Dallas Can’t Score vs Wild | Frustration is building as the Dallas Stars continue to struggle generating offense, especially at 5-on-5. The conversation breaks down why key contributors — including younger players and depth scorers — haven’t been able to produce, despite strong efforts and opportunities. While the players insist it’s not from a lack of effort, the outside noise and growing pressure are clearly being felt inside the room. A major factor? Minnesota’s aggressive, relentless forecheck. The Wild are pressuring in all three zones, disrupting breakouts, and preventing Dallas from gaining clean entries or building sustained offense. The result is a Stars team that can’t find rhythm, can’t get to dangerous areas, and is being forced into low-quality chances. As the series continues, the question remains: can Dallas adjust and break through, or will the pressure continue to shut them down? | — | ||||||
| 4/30/26 | ![]() Dallas Stars OFFENSE PROBLEM, 5-on-5 Struggles Killing Them | Why are the Dallas Stars struggling so much at 5-on-5? The numbers tell the story. Despite generating solid chances and strong expected goal metrics, the Stars rank near the bottom of the playoffs in 5-on-5 shooting percentage — a major factor in the series. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Wild are capitalizing on their opportunities, finishing at a much higher rate and converting in key areas. The breakdown highlights a frustrating trend: Dallas is creating looks but failing to finish, often settling for perimeter shots instead of attacking the net front where playoff goals are scored. With the season on the line, the message is clear — the Stars must get to the dirty areas, fight through traffic, and start converting chances if they want to extend the series. | — | ||||||
| 4/30/26 | ![]() Stars on LIFE SUPPORT, Must-Win Game 6 vs Wild | The Dallas Stars are facing a must-win situation heading into Game 6, with the series slipping away after a tough Game 5 loss. The discussion centers around what went wrong, including struggles at 5-on-5, a lack of net-front presence, and missed opportunities to capitalize on home ice. With the Wild finding timely goals and key contributions, the margin for error has become razor thin. Now, the focus shifts to urgency — the Stars must find production from their top players and generate more effective offense if they want to extend the series. With their season on the line, Game 6 becomes the ultimate test: respond and force a Game 7, or see the run come to an end. | — | ||||||
| 4/29/26 | ![]() Is It Time To PANIC? Dallas Stars Playoff Run In Danger Of Ending Much Too Soon | DLLS Stars Podcast | The Minnesota Wild took a 3-2 series lead on Tuesday night by winning Game 5 in Dallas 4-2. Now the Stars must travel to St. Paul and find a way to win Game 6 on Thursday night to force a deciding Game 7, which would be on Saturday at American Airlines Center. On today’s show, we will dive into Game 5 post game reaction from Jamie Benn, Mikko Rantanen and Miro Heiskanen, as they all answer questions about the team’s struggles to score 5-on-5 goals in this series. We’ll also discuss the potential injury impact of Dallas losing Arttu Hyry (lower body) and Minnesota losing Jonas Brodin (lower body). Then we will go around the rest of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and cover some NHL News & Notes, including the finalists announced for both the Vezina Trophy and the Ted Lindsay Award. | — | ||||||
| 4/29/26 | ![]() Dallas Stars Pushed To Brink Of Elimination, Lose Game 5 To Minnesota Wild 4-2 | DLLS STARS POSTGAME | The Dallas Stars post season hopes took a major setback tonight as they lost Game 5 to the Minnesota Wild 4-2 at American Airlines Center. The Stars never led in the game, but were tied at 1-1 after the first period as Miro Heiskanen’s power play goal canceled out Mats Zuccarello’s early tally. Matt Boldy scored a power play goal late in the second period and then Michael McCarron scored in the third to give the Wild a two-goal lead. Jason Robertson scored for the fifth-straight game in the series, setting a new franchise record, but Kirill Kaprizov added an empty net goal to finish off any hopes of a Stars comeback. Game 6 will be played on Thursday night, April 30th, start time still TBD.

| 4/25/26 | ![]() Nils Lundkvist EMERGES, From Benched to Top-Four Threat | The DLLS Stars crew breaks down the impressive growth of Nils Lundkvist and how his development is finally paying off for Dallas. Once questioned after limited opportunities and inconsistent play, Lundkvist has emerged this season as a steady, confident presence on the blue line. The discussion highlights his improved poise, decision-making, and ability to contribute on both ends of the ice, including key plays that have directly led to scoring chances. The group also credits the patience of the organization, particularly GM Jim Nill, for sticking with Lundkvist’s development. After early struggles and limited trust from the coaching staff, Lundkvist has found the right balance between offense and defense, earning a more reliable role in the lineup. Now, he’s proving he can be a legitimate top-four option, showcasing the growth, work ethic, and confidence that have defined his breakout season. | — | ||||||
