SportSpyder - The Latest Dallas Stars Podcasts

On Defense

Defending Big D — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 16:30:00 GMT

The Dallas Stars' struggles in filling out their defense have defined much of their recent past. But will it define them in 2026-27?

In Stargazing's annual Positional Puckcast, Wes and Mark examine the blueline and find...a solid, functional unit. They discuss the ever-steady top pairing of Miro Heiskanen and Esa Lindell, the advent of Nils Lundvist, what to expect from Thomas Harley, a future for Lian Bichsel, the Wall of Humanity Pairing Featuring Tyler Myers, who will win the seventh-defender spot, and ever so much more.

Will Heiskanen ever get back on his strong side? Is that even a goal at this point? We're Stargazing, and we think Miro is better on his right-hand side than many actual right-handers. But let’s talk about it at Defending Big D. And please give us a rate, review, or share wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to Stargazing. We love you.

CRISIS MODE: Dallas Stars Place Matt Duchene on IR—How Will They SURVIVE Opening Night Without Him?

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 01:43:17 GMT

Dallas Stars face lineup uncertainty as Matt Duchene lands on IR ahead of the season opener against the St. Louis Blues. With salary cap constraints blocking any immediate call-ups, the Stars must navigate the early schedule by rotating 11 forwards and 7 defensemen. Can Glenn Goldson’s squad maintain momentum, or will Duchene’s absence haunt their offensive depth in crucial matchups against Nashville and San Jose? Joey Erickson breaks down the ripple effects of Duchene’s lower-body injury, exploring how Sam Steele, Justin Raskovian, and potential linemates like Kiviranta and Oscar Beck might step up. Key topics include the risk of line disruptions, strategies for managing minutes on the Dallas blue line, and how stars like Roope Hintz and Wyatt Johnston could shoulder new responsibilities. With goaltender Jake Ottinger’s status also in play, the discussion weighs if early adversity could become a blessing in disguise for the Stars’ playoff hopes.

This morning the Dallas Stars signed goaltender Casey DeSmith to a two-year contract extension worth $5 million ($2.5 million AAV). DeSmith, who was poised to become a UFA after the 2026-27 season, is now under contract through the 2028-29 season. On today’s DLLS Stars Podcast, we will talk about what this means for the Stars over the next three seasons AND we will talk to Casey DeSmith himself, as he joins us for a segment. Then Producer Ryan will put the guys through some paces that even they don’t know what will be asked and the NHL regular season commenced last night, so we’ll talk about the games and all the NHL News & Notes we can fit into the show.
