Olympic injuries to Rantanen and Faksa affected how Dallas Stars approached NHL trade deadline
The Dallas Stars added Tyler Myers and Michael Bunting to address depth after key forwards Rantanen and Faksa were sidelined by Olympic injuries, GM Jim Nill said.
- On Friday, Stars GM Jim Nill updated on injuries to Mikko Rantanen and Radek Faksa and said Dallas made trade‑deadline moves earlier this week, acquiring Tyler Myers and Michael Bunting to add depth.
- At the Olympics in Italy, Rantanen, who played for Team Finland, suffered a lower‑body injury in the semifinals and won’t start skating for another 7‑10 days, missing over a week.
- Rantanen entered the break leading Dallas with 69 points, while Faksa has two goals and 15 assists in 56 games, and seven Stars players went to the Olympics with Faksa the only one without a medal.
- Expect both newcomers to make Dallas debuts on Sunday, and Myers will be the first Texas‑born player to appear for the Stars.
- Faksa was placed on injured reserve after an Olympic upper-body injury and a subsequent lower-body setback, which Nill said will keep him out until just before the playoffs.
