Oskar Back

25-Year-Old CenterC
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Back played mostly on the fourth line for the Stars as a rookie during the 2024-25 regular season, recording four goals and 12 assists in 73 appearances, but he spent a good chunk of the postseason as a healthy scratch. Even if we assume the 25-year-old will go back to playing regularly in 2025-26, he's not a physical presence or a prolific shot blocker, which limits his fantasy appeal when coupled with his mild offensive numbers. Avoid Back unless you're in a deep enough league to warrant carrying a player who projects to record 15-20 points without offering much help in other categories. Read Past Outlooks

Tallies lone goal in loss
CDallas Stars
January 18, 2026
Back scored a goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning.
ANALYSIS
Back ended an 11-game point drought with his first-period tally, but that goal was all the Stars could get past Andrei Vasilevskiy. The 25-year-old Back is up to four goals, four assists, 22 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating over 39 appearances. He's been a regular in the Stars' bottom six, but he doesn't offer enough offense to help in most fantasy formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to begin season in Dallas
CDallas Stars
October 3, 2024
Back is expected to begin the 2024-25 regular season with the Stars, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.
ANALYSIS
Back is competing with Kole Lind and Arttu Hyry for spots on the Stars' Opening Night roster, and LeVine speculates that Back and Lind are the favorites to begin the year in the NHL due to their experience playing in North America. Even if Back opens the season on the Stars' roster, he doesn't have any NHL experience and could still spend plenty of time with the AHL club this year.
