Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Adds helper in win
Lyubushkin generated an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Jets in Game 1.
Lyubushkin remains warm on offense with three assists over his last four games. That's all of his point production this postseason, to go with nine shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-5 rating across eight outings. Lyubushkin continues to offer more upside as a stay-at-home blueliner, so don't expect his surge on offense to last.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Manages assist Saturday
Lyubushkin notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Avalanche in Game 7.
Lyubushkin helped out on Mikko Rantanen's goal at 7:49 of the third period, which ignited the Stars' comeback. Lyubushkin has two helpers in his last three outings, making up for his ugly minus-5 performance in Game 6. The defenseman has added nine shots on net, seven hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over seven playoff outings while seeing time in a top-four role. Lyubushkin's role will likely decrease once Miro Heiskanen (knee) returns.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Pockets helper in Game 5 win
Lyubushkin notched an assist and two blocked shots in Monday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche in Game 5.
Lyubushkin helped out on a Mikko Rantanen tally in the second period, which gave the Stars a 3-0 lead. The 31-year-old Lyubushkin ended his 10-game point drought with the assist. He had 14 points, 51 shots on net, 84 hits, 136 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 80 regular-season contests. The blueliner continues to provide physicality in a top-four role, but his offense is likely to remain limited.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Adds assist in Saturday's loss
Lyubushkin registered an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
Lyubushkin ended an 11-game point drought when he assisted on Evgenii Dadonov's third goal of the contest. Offense isn't the primary responsibility for Lyubushkin, who continues to fill a top-four role as a shutdown defender. He's matched his career high with 14 points (one goal, 13 assists) this season while adding 48 shots on net, 81 hits, 130 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-8 rating.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Manages helper in win
Lyubushkin notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
Lyubushkin was on the wrong side of the highlight reel in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers, as he got humbled on a one-on-one play against Connor McDavid as part of a minus-3 performance. Lyubushkin bounced back well, helping out on a Thomas Harley tally to open the scoring Sunday. Through 62 contests, Lyubushkin has 13 points, 39 shots on net, 71 hits, 101 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating this season. He'll never be a big scorer, but he hasn't thrown the body around enough in 2024-25 to justify a roster spot in most fantasy formats despite being two points shy of matching his career high from 2021-22.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Breaks out moves for goal
Lyubushkin scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Lyubushkin went coast-to-coast for the Stars' second tally, finishing with a snipe over a sliding Brett Pesce that evaded Jacob Markstrom's save attempt. The 30-year-old Lyubushkin had gone nearly two years without a goal, his last coming March 15, 2023, as a member of the Sabres in a game against the Capitals. He's up to 12 points this season, three shy of his career high from the 2021-22 campaign. He's added 36 shots on net, 68 hits, 98 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 59 appearances.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Returns to Sunday's game
Lyubushkin (upper body) returned to Sunday's game against the Blues in the second period, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Lyubushkin sustained an upper-body injury on his first shift Sunday, and he was deemed questionable to return. However, he wasn't forced to miss much time, signaling that it doesn't seem as though he's dealing with a significant issue. Assuming he doesn't face any setbacks later in Sunday's game, it wouldn't be surprising to see him remain available for Tuesday's game against the Devils.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Status uncertain for rest of game
Lyubushkin sustained an upper-body injury in Sunday's game versus the Blues and is questionable to return.
Lyubushkin crashed into the end wall on his first shift after a collision with St. Louis' Radek Faksa, who received a minor penalty on the play for boarding. Cody Ceci and Matt Dumba will receive extra ice time on the right side if Lyubushkin is unable to return to Sunday's divisional contest.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Ready to return
Lyubushkin (undisclosed) is good to play Saturday versus New Jersey, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.
Lyubushkin has 11 assists, 62 hits and 82 blocks in 53 outings in 2024-25. He missed two games due to his injury. Brendan Smith is set to be a healthy scratch due to Lyubushkin's return.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Set to sit Saturday
Lyubushkin (undisclosed) is expected to heal from his injury during the 4 Nations Face-Off break, indicating he won't play Saturday versus the Sharks, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.
Lyubushkin was already ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings. The 30-year-old will have about two weeks to heal up before the season resumes. Brendan Smith will get a chance to play during Lyubushkin's absence.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Unavailable Friday
Lyubushkin (undisclosed) will miss Friday's tilt against the Kings, according to Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.
Lyubushkin is also unlikely to play Saturday in San Jose, but he hasn't been ruled out for that clash. He has 11 assists, 16 PIM, 62 hits and 82 blocks in 53 outings in 2024-25. Brendan Smith is set to draw into the lineup due to Lyubushkin's absence.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Game-time call Friday
Lyubushkin's (undisclosed) status against the Kings on Friday will be determined following the morning skate, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
Lyubushkin logged just 10:47 of ice time against the Ducks on Tuesday before being forced to exit the contest due to his undisclosed injury. Considering the defenseman has yet to find the back of the net this season and recorded just two shots in his last five games, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be banking on him suddenly offering offensive upside.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Injured Tuesday
Lyubushkin (undisclosed) was hurt in Tuesday's game versus the Ducks and there was no update on his status after the contest, independent Stars reporter Robert Tiffin reports.
Lyubushkin didn't play in the third period due to the injury. With Miro Heiskanen (knee) already on injured reserve and facing a long-term absence, losing another blueliner could test the Stars' depth. Brendan Smith would likely get the first chance to fill in if Lyubushkin is unavailable for Friday's game in Los Angeles.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Chips in with helper
Lyubushkin notched an assist in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Lyubushkin has three helpers over his last eight games. The 30-year-old defenseman saw 15:39 of ice time Sunday despite being listed on the top pairing. Any gains in usage he was going to receive in the absence of Miro Heiskanen (knee) likely evaporated when the Stars acquired Cody Ceci from the Sharks on Saturday. Lyubushkin will instead remain a physical presence in a depth role, one that's seen him produce 11 helpers, 29 shots on net, 62 hits, 81 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 52 outings this season.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Assists in back-to-back games
Lyubushkin posted an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
Lyubushkin has followed up a 10-game point drought with a helper in each of the last two contests. This burst of offense is unlikely to last long for the 30-year-old defenseman, who plays in more of a physical role on the Stars' blue line. He has 10 helpers, 26 shots on net, 70 blocked shots, 51 hits and a plus-8 rating through 46 appearances. Lyubushkin's career high in points is 15 from the 2021-22 campaign he split between the Coyotes and the Maple Leafs, and he's in a position to top that number in 2024-25.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Garners helper
Lyubushkin notched an assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.
Lyubushkin snapped a 10-game point drought when he helped out on the first of Jason Robertson's two goals in the contest. The 30-year-old Lyubushkin has held a steady spot on the Stars' blue line this year, but he offers little in the way of offense. He's at nine assists, 26 shots on net, 51 hits, 66 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 45 appearances, so he won't help in many fantasy formats.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Staying in lineup Thursday
Lyubushkin (upper body) will be in action against the Flyers on Thursday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.
Lyubushkin was injured against the Rangers on Tuesday but won't miss any additional game time. Considering the blueliner is stuck in a season-long goal drought and has managed just one helper in his last 12 contests, few fantasy managers will be impacted by Lyubushkin staying in the lineup.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Doubtful to finish game
Lyubuhskin (upper body) is doubtful to return to Tuesday's game versus the Rangers.
It's unclear when Lyubushkin was injured, but he did not come out of the locker room for the third period. The 30-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day for now. If he misses Thursday's game in Philadelphia, Matt Dumba will likely draw into the lineup.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Picks up assist
Lyubushkin recorded an assist, six hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
The helper was Lyubushkin's second over 12 contests in December. The 30-year-old defenseman has occasionally had to play a larger role due to absences this month, but with the Stars' blue line near full strength, he's in a third-pairing spot. The Russian blueliner has eight helpers, 21 shots on net, 44 hits, 56 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 34 appearances. Outside of the deepest banger leagues, Lyubushkin doesn't make for a strong fantasy option.
