The Dallas Stars have announced significant updates regarding their injured players as they navigate a challenging season. Forward Mason Marchment has been placed on injured reserve (IR), retroactive to December 31, after suffering a serious facial injury during a game against the Minnesota Wild on December 27. Marchment underwent surgery for his injury, and his absence adds to the defensive concerns already faced by the Stars.

Joining Marchment on IR is defenseman Nils Lundkvist, who recently had season-ending shoulder surgery. Lundkvist's last game was on January 21 against the Carolina Hurricanes. Both he and veteran forward Tyler Seguin, who has been sidelined since December due to hip surgeries, further deplete the Stars' lineup as they try to keep pace in a competitive NHL landscape.

In response to these injuries, the Stars have made several roster moves, recalling Kyle McDonald and Christian Kyrou from the Texas Stars while loaning Kyle Capobianco to the AHL affiliate. These adjustments aim to bolster the team as they look to maintain their playoff push amidst these setbacks.
