Stars' Esa Lindell: Hands out helper in overtime win
Lindell provided an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
Lindell has a point in each of the last two contests (one goal, one assist). The 30-year-old blueliner could be in line for a larger role if Miro Heiskanen (lower body) misses time after exiting Tuesday's game. Lindell is up to 16 points, 107 blocked shots, 65 shots on net and a plus-16 rating over 50 appearances. He doesn't have a ton of scoring upside, but he can help in fantasy formats that reward his steady defensive play.

Stars' Esa Lindell: Nets rare power-play goal
Lindell scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Blues.
Lindell was on the ice near the end of a power play and cashed in for the Stars' second goal. The tally ended an eight-game point drought for the defenseman, and it was his first contribution with the man advantage since the 2021-22 campaign. Lindell plays more of a shutdown role and is unlikely to challenge Miro Heiskanen or Thomas Harley for power-play time moving forward. This season, Lindell is at four goals, 11 assists, 65 shots on net, 104 blocked shots, 34 hits and a plus-14 rating over 49 appearances.

Stars' Esa Lindell: Collects helper
Lindell logged an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.
Lindell has five points over 17 games since the start of December. As usual, he's not adding much on offense while serving as a shutdown defender in a top-four role. He's produced three goals, 10 helpers, 57 shots on net, 72 blocked shots, 37 hits and a plus-12 rating through 39 appearances this season, a pace nearly identical to last year when he had 26 points while playing in all 82 regular-season contests.

Stars' Esa Lindell: Long-range empty-netter seals win
Lindell scored an empty-net goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.
Lindell finished the game with a long-range empty-netter for his first point in seven contests. The defenseman was held to zero hits and blocked shots for the second game in a row -- it was just the third time he's posted goose eggs in both categories in the same game this year. Despite the recent lack of physical play, that's often where Lindell shines. He has three goals, nine assists, 57 shots on net, 30 hits, 68 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 36 appearances.

Stars' Esa Lindell: Pockets assist in win
Lindell notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Flames.
Lindell has two helpers over his last five contests. The 30-year-old defenseman continues to see top-four minutes for the Stars, though mainly in a defensive capacity since he doesn't get much, if any, power-play time. He's now at 10 points, 42 shots on net, 23 hits, 54 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 27 outings this season. Lindell's got decent production in non-scoring areas, making him an option in deeper fantasy formats.

Stars' Esa Lindell: Logs helper Sunday
Lindell produced an assist, four shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Jets.
Lindell set up Roope Hintz for an empty-netter to close out this win. The assist ended a five-game point drought for Lindell, which was his longest slump since he opened the season with no points over the first eight contests. Offense comes and goes for the 30-year-old blueliner, who primarily features in a shutdown role. He has nine points, 35 shots on net, 19 hits, 45 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 23 outings this season. Due to his non-scoring production, Lindell is a fringe option in fantasy, and a hot stretch on offense can make him a decent streaming option.

Stars' Esa Lindell: Nets goal in loss Monday
Lindell scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.
Lindell didn't open his points tally until Oct. 26, when he recorded an assist in a 4-2 win over Chicago, but he's been very consistent since then. Across his last nine games, the 30-year-old veteran has two goals and six assists, as well as 14 shots, five blocks and 11 blocked shots. Lindell is expected to remain in the Stars' top defensive pairing alongside Miro Heiskanen, especially if he continues to produce as he has over the last three weeks.

Lindell provided a pair of assists and went plus-4 in Monday's 7-1 win over the Penguins.

At least for Monday's game, it worked beautifully -- Lindell helped out on one of Heiskanen's tallies as well as a Logan Stankoven goal in a six-goal first period. The 30-year-old Lindell has kicked his offense up a notch with six points over his last six games, which represents all of his scoring so far this season. He's added 22 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 12 hits and a plus-6 rating through 14 appearances.

The 30-year-old defenseman had not recorded a point in his first eight outings this season. He is up to 18 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 11 hits and a plus-3 rating through 12 appearances in a top-four role.
