Stars Set Opening Night Roster, Making Minor Tweaks to Bottom Six

The Dallas Stars confirmed their opening night roster on Monday ahead of Friday's regular season opener against the St. Louis Blues. The final lineup features 12 forwards, seven defensemen, and two goaltenders. The primary roster adjustment came in the bottom six, where forward Joel Kiviranta rejoined the team while Colin Blackwell was assigned to the AHL Texas Stars.

The Stars maintained continuity elsewhere, retaining a defensive core headlined by Miro Heiskanen and keeping Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith in goal. Additionally, Dallas placed five players on the non-roster injured list, including prospect Tristan Bertucci.
