Dallas Stars closed the preseason with a 3-2 win over Colorado, riding Colin Blackwell’s late-goal heroics as Arttu Hyry opened the scoring and Jason Robertson tucked a power-play strike. Dallas finished 4-1 in the slate, and new coach Glen Gulutzan heads into the 2025-26 regular season with momentum, opening on the road vs. Winnipeg on Oct. 9.

Hyry’s output from the AHL pipeline hints at depth scoring, while Robertson’s early PP tally signals strong special-teams potential. Dallas’ mix of veterans and young players under Gulutzan’s system suggests a versatile, competitive lineup ready to test the opening schedule against the Jets.

Dallas Stars topped the Blues 5-3 in a lively preseason tilt, improving to 4-1 in exhibition play. Early were Lyubushkin and Johnston for a 2-0 burst, though St. Louis answered with Holloway and Broberg. Faksa’s return goal against his old team helped Dallas reclaim the lead, with Seguin adding a goal and two assists and Robertson sealing it with an empty-netter. Dallas outshot 30-24 as DeSmith stopped 21 of 24 shots.

Dallas Stars keep their preseason on the road, facing the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday at Enterprise Center after a 3-0 start. A 4-1 setback to Colorado last game sets a test for depth, lines, and goaltending as Dallas eyes more tuneups before the regular season.

Six-game slate includes three home dates. Results so far: 2-1 OT win over St. Louis, 3-2 OT win at Minnesota, 5-2 win over Minnesota, then the 4-1 loss to Colorado, with a Sept. 30 stop in St. Louis and an Oct. 4 visit from Colorado.

Stars lean on their high-end talent for 2025-26, adding Mikko Rantanen for a full season and leveraging Jason Robertson's contract/Olympic-year urgency. Roope Hintz, Wyatt Johnston and Mavrik Bourque are set to lift the offense, while Benn starts the year sidelined and Duchene chases Cup glory. Depth pieces like Sam Steel, Nathan Bastian and Radek Faksa must fill gaps after Marchment, Dadonov and Granlund departed.
