Lundkvist posted a goal and an assist, underscoring Dallas’ blue-line push and his role as a valuable fantasy blueliner who contributes offensively beyond the blue line.

Caught the eye on the power play with a high-slot setup finished by Robertson, Lundkvist’s presence helped Dallas’ early surge. His mobility and shooting from the blueline provide value beyond scoring, aiding offensive zone control.

Shoulder surgery hampered development; now healthy with a coaching staff that believes in his ascent. Expected to take on a larger top-four role alongside Harley, with potential for significant offensive gains in a new system.

Lundkvist, fifth NHL season, battled DeBoer-era trust and a season-ending shoulder injury, but dominates camp fitness. Skating with Harley and showing offensive instincts, he’s positioned for a more secure defensive role and increased minutes.

Lundkvist is noted for a high-skill, puck-moving profile with upside if he lands a larger role, particularly elevating his fantasy pace through minutes and PP exposure.
