  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Snags assist Saturday

    Lindell notched an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings.

    Lindell has helpers in consecutive games following an eight-game slump. The 29-year-old defenseman helped out on Jason Robertson's go-ahead goal in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. For the season, Lindell is up to 23 points, 92 shots on net, 128 blocked shots, 66 hits and a plus-15 rating through 66 appearances in a top-four role.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Manages helper in win

    Lindell posted an assist, two blocked shots, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.

    Lindell ended an eight-game point drought with his helper on Chris Tanev's opening tally in the first period. The two have been skating together to start Tanev's Stars tenure, giving the team a solid shutdown duo on the second pairing. Lindell is at 22 points, 91 shots on net, 65 hits, 128 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 65 outings in a quietly effective campaign as usual.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Snaps slump with goal

    Lindell scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Bruins.

    Lindell stepped up with fellow Finnish defenseman Miro Heiskanen (personal) away from the team. Lindell's goal put the Stars ahead 3-2 in the third period, and it ended his eight-game point drought. The 29-year-old is up to 21 points, 78 shots on net, 104 blocked shots, 54 hits and a plus-16 rating through 56 appearances. Lindell will be leaned on heavily while the Stars' defense corps is missing three regulars, though Heiskanen should be back before Jani Hakanpaa (upper body) or Nils Lundkvist (concussion).

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Stays warm with goal

    Lindell scored a goal on two shots, blocked four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

    Lindell hadn't scored in 18 games, but he had a solid eight assists in that span. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to pick up the pace on offense with Miro Heiskanen (lower body) out, but Heiskanen's nearing return will likely cut into Lindell's playing time. Lindell has 20 points, 66 shots on net, 90 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating through 47 outings overall.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Deals helper Saturday

    Lindell notched an assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Devils.

    Lindell has six helpers, 17 blocked shots, 14 shots on goal and a plus-7 rating over his last seven games. It's not unusual for the 29-year-old to have a stretch of productivity every now and then, and this one has come at a good time with the Stars missing Miro Heiskanen (lower body). Lindell has 19 points, 61 shots on net, 86 blocks, 38 hits and a plus-14 rating over 45 appearances in a top-four role this season.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Produces assist in win

    Lindell notched an assist, two shots on goal, four blocked shots, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

    Lindell has five helpers and a plus-7 rating over his last five games. He's helped to fill some of the void created by Miro Heiskanen's (lower body) absence. Lindell has quietly put together a strong campaign with 18 points, 57 shots on net, 80 blocked shots, 37 hits and a plus-14 rating over 43 appearances. He's on track to top 30 points for just the second time in his nine-year career.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Three helpers in big win

    Lindell notched three assists in Wednesday's 7-2 rout of the Wild.

    Seven different Stars found the back of the net, but Lindell was the main facilitator of the team's offense. It's the first three-point game of the season for the 29-year-old blueliner, and over the last 14 contests he's collected a solid two goals and nine points. Lindell hasn't topped 25 points since 2018-19, but he's currently on pace to surpass the career-high 32 points he produced that season.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Records assist in win

    Lindell posted an assist and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-0 win over the Wild.

    Lindell has three helpers over his last eight outings. He set up Tyler Seguin's third-period tally Monday, doubling the Stars' lead to 2-0 at the time. Lindell will be tasked with helping to fill the void left in the wake of Miro Heiskanen's lower-body injury. Lindell is at 14 points, 48 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 39 appearances. His contributions will mainly be on defense, though the 29-year-old can chip in a few points every now and then.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Puts up helper in win

    Lindell logged an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Lindell reached the 10-assist mark when he set up Mason Marchment's tally with 1:02 left in the game. The helper was Lindell's second over the last four contests. The 29-year-old blueliner had seven points across 14 outings in December. For the campaign, he's managed 13 points, 42 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 27 hits and a plus-10 rating while continuing to fill a defense-first role in the Stars' top four.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Snags helper in win

    Lindell recorded an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

    Lindell set up an Evgenii Dadonov tally in the third period. The helper was Lindell's sixth point over 11 games in December. The defenseman has been steady in a top-four role, racking up 12 points, 41 shots on net, 27 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 32 appearances. He could be useful as a solid all-around blueliner in deeper formats.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Scores again Friday

    Lindell scored a goal and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Senators.

    Lindell's first-period tally cut the Stars' deficit to 3-2. The 29-year-old blueliner has three points over his last two games, scoring a goal in each of them. He generally doesn't sustain offense for long stretches -- Lindell is more of a stay-at-home defenseman. He's at a solid 11 points with 39 shots on net, 54 blocked shots, 22 hits and a plus-5 rating through 28 appearances this season.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: One of each Monday

    Lindell scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

    Lindell beat the buzzer in the first period to put the Stars ahead 2-1. He also set up a Jason Robertson tally in the second. Lindell has a pair of multi-point efforts through six games in December, but that's all of his offense for the month. The 29-year-old blueliner is up to 10 points, 38 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 21 hits and a plus-5 rating through 27 outings this season. He's played right around a 25-point pace for most of the last four campaigns, and he's on track to do just a little better than that in 2023-24.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Two assists in Saturday's win

    Lindell provided a pair of assists and went plus-3 in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Lightning.

    Lindell snapped a five-game skid by helping out on tallies from Mason Marchment and Sam Steel. The 29-year-old Lindell has maintained a top-four role as primarily a defensive presence for a strong Stars team this season. He's up to eight points, 28 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-8 rating through 22 appearances. Lindell is unlikely to have a chance at power-play time with Miro Heiskanen, Thomas Harley and Nils Lundkvist seeing most of the man-advantage opportunities.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Deals helper in loss

    Lindell notched an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

    Lindell has earned all six of his points this season over nine games in November. The defenseman had an assist on Tyler Seguin's second goal in Saturday's defeat. Lindell has added 20 shots on net, 36 blocks, 13 hits and a plus-4 rating. He's been firmly in a second-pairing role lately, and he's doing enough on offense to garner some attention in standard fantasy formats.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Scores in OT win

    Lindell scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Arizona.

    Lindell got Dallas on the board late in the first period, beating Karel Vejmelka with a wrister through traffic for his first goal of the season. After going scoreless in his first seven games this year, Lindell now has five points (one goal, four assists) in his last eight contests. The 29-year-old blueliner has added 13 hits and 34 blocked shots while averaging 19:36 of ice time in a top-four role.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Stays warm with helper

    Lindell logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Lindell is up to four assists over five games in November, accounting for all of his offense this season. He's exceeded 20 minutes of ice time in just four of 12 contests, and the last was Nov. 1. The 29-year-old blueliner has racked up 29 blocked shots, 13 hits, 14 shots on goal and a plus-1 rating while filling a top-four role.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Manages assist Monday

    Lindell posted an assist and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.

    Lindell set up a Wyatt Johnston tally early in the third period, but the Stars didn't stay on the comeback trail. All three of Lindell's helpers this season have come over four games in November. The 29-year-old defenseman has added 14 shots on net, 27 blocked shots, 13 hits and a minus-1 rating through 11 appearances. He's mainly played in a bottom-four role, providing solid physicality and key defensive minutes for the Stars this season.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Helpers in consecutive games

    Lindell produced an assist and blocked seven shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.

    Lindell has helpers in back-to-back games after opening the season scoreless in seven outings. The 29-year-old had the secondary assist on Matt Duchene's first-period marker Thursday. While his offense remains limited, Lindell is doing his part as a physical defenseman, racking up 13 hits and 24 blocked shots through nine contests.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: Gets on scoresheet with assist

    Lindell registered a shorthanded assist, four blocked shots, two hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Flames.

    Lindell couldn't find a point in seven October outings, but he got on the scoresheet with a helper on Jamie Benn's first-period tally. While Lindell has often been listed on the third pairing this season, his work on the penalty kill essentially makes him a de facto top-four blueliner. The Finn has 11 shots on net, 12 hits, 17 blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-1 rating through eight appearances as a defensive specialist.

  • Stars' Esa Lindell: No offense early in season

    Lindell has not recorded a point in seven games this season.

    Lindell is usually good for 20-30 points in any given season, but he's off to a slow start on offense. He's still playing a solid physical game with 13 blocked shots and 10 hits, and he's added 11 shots on net and a minus-2 rating. In past years, Lindell has been counted on as more of a two-way defenseman, but the emergence of Thomas Harley and the continued presence of Ryan Suter in a top-four role means Lindell is more of a shutdown defender in 2023-24.
