Breaking down the Dallas Stars' full projected lineup for 2025-26

Originally posted on Blade of Steel  |  By Vince Hull  |  Last updated Jul 21, 2025 10:49 AM ET

Dallas Stars projected 2025-26 lineup features Jason Robertson, Roope Hintz, Mikko Rantanen, and Jake Oettinger leading a deep roster.

The Dallas Stars are heading into the 2025-26 season with big expectations after three straight trips to the Western Conference Final.

NHL.com's projected lineup shows a roster stacked with stars, new additions, and a mix of youth and experience designed to push for the Stanley Cup.

Here's a clear look at the lineup Dallas is expected to roll with:

Forwards

Jason Robertson - Roope Hintz - Mikko Rantanen

Oskar Bäck - Matt Duchene - Tyler Seguin

Jamie Benn - Wyatt Johnston - Mavrik Bourque

Sam Steel - Radek Faksa - Colin Blackwell

Defense

Esa Lindell - Miro Heiskanen

Thomas Harley - Ilya Lyubushkin

Lian Bichsel - Nils Lundkvist

Goalies

Jake Oettinger

Casey DeSmith

Jason Robertson, Roope Hintz, and Mikko Rantanen headline a deep Stars lineup with Jake Oettinger leading the way in goal

This group has a lot of balance.

The top line is one of the best in the league, while depth players like Radek Faksa and Sam Steel give Dallas the ability to roll four lines effectively.

On defense, Heiskanen remains the star, but I think Harley's growth could be just as important if the Stars want to finally get past Edmonton.

Oettinger, as always, will be the backbone, and I believe he has another level to reach this year.

If this lineup stays healthy, it might finally be enough to deliver Dallas its long-awaited Stanley Cup Final berth.
