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

Gathers helper in win

CDallas Stars

November 21, 2025

Back notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Canucks.

ANALYSIS
Back has two helpers over 10 outings in November, which corresponds with his return from an upper-body injury. The 25-year-old forward is a regular in the Stars' middle six and is building some chemistry on a line with fellow young forwards Mavrik Bourque and Justin Hryckowian. Back has three points, five shots on net, five hits, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 11 appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

DAL

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.
