According to NHL.com statistics, there are 830 active players who have played at least one game against the Dallas Stars at some point during their career. As expected, with a long-standing rivalry with the Chicago Blackhawks, it is no surprise to see one of their most successful players top this list. Meanwhile, several of the team’s core Central Division opponents crack the list, with one current Stars player among the top 10, joining two other players who briefly played with the organization a couple of seasons ago.
Although none of the players on this list crack the top 10 all-time points list against the Minnesota/Dallas franchise, those skaters are all members of the Hockey Hall of Fame, a place several of these names will find themselves in just a few years' time.
Top 10 active NHL players with the most points against the Dallas Stars
Kyle Connor & David Perron (36 points)
34GP - 18G - 18A / 47GP - 17G - 19A
Kyle Connor has played his entire 11-year career with the Winnipeg Jets, scoring at least 30 goals in eight seasons, including two campaigns of more than 40 goals. He routinely finishes among the league's top goal scorers and has only scored more points against the Vancouver Canucks, 42, in his career. With Winnipeg scheduled to face Dallas on Thursday night (Nov. 12), Connor could break the tie and claim sole possession of 10th place among active NHL players.
Meanwhile, current Stars forward David Perron won’t be adding to his totals anytime soon, but is tied for the 10th-most points among active players. The one-time Stanley Cup champion is a seven-time 20-goal scorer, achieving five of those seasons with the St. Louis Blues.
Mikael Granlund (37 points)
51GP - 12G - 25A
The current captain of the Anaheim Ducks, Mikael Granlund, spent the majority of his career in the Central Division with the Nashville Predators and Minnesota Wild. With only two 20-goal seasons on his resume, he’s compiled five 60-point seasons. In 2024-25, Granlund played 31 games with the Stars, scoring seven goals and 21 points, adding 10 points in 18 playoff games.
Roman Josi (38 points)
57GP - 12G - 26A
Predators captain Roman Josi is the only defenseman on the list, collecting 38 points against the Stars in 57 career games. The one-time Norris Trophy winner is a two-time 20-goal scorer, setting a career-high with 96 points in 2021-22. Overall, Josi has nine seasons with 50 or more points, making him Nashville's all-time leading scorer.
Steven Stamkos (39 points)
34GP - 24G - 15A
For 16 seasons, Steven Stamkos skated with the Tampa Bay Lightning, who defeated the Stars in the 2020 Stanley Cup Final. Now, for the past two and a half seasons, he’s been with the Predators, racking up his point total against Dallas. As one of the few active players with a 60-goal season on the back of his hockey card, Stamkos is a lock to go into the Hall of Fame and has an outside chance of reaching 700 goals, standing at 634 at the time of this writing.
Ryan O’Reilly (42 points)
56GP - 13G - 29A
Ryan O’Reilly is one of two Conn Smythe Trophy winners on the list, helping the St. Louis Blues win the Stanley Cup in 2019. Outside of a brief stint with Toronto (13 games) and three seasons in Buffalo (224 games), he’s been locked into the Central Division, skating with Colorado, St. Louis, and Nashville for 15 seasons. Despite never reaching 30 goals in a single season, he's recorded 10 seasons with 20 or more goals.
Matt Duchene (46 points)
51GP - 18G - 28A
Matt Duchene has been with the Stars for the past three seasons, scoring 71 goals and 192 points in 219 games. Prior to his arrival in the Big D, he played many seasons with Colorado and Nashville, scoring 46 points against his current team. Although he has yet to skate in 2026-27 due to surgery, when he returns, Duchene will play in his 1,200th game and inch closer to 1,000 points. Only twice in his 17-year career has he averaged at least a point per game: in 2021-22 with the Predators, 86 points in 78 games, and most recently with Dallas in 2024-25 with 82 points in 82 games.
Corey Perry (52 points)
75GP - 22G - 30A
The ageless wonder Corey Perry is a one-time Hart Trophy and Stanley Cup winner. Moreover, as a member of the Stars team that lost in the 2020 Stanley Cup Final, playing again in the 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 Finals, losing all five. Now, as a member of the Los Angeles Kings, the 22-year veteran ranks in the top five among active players with the most points against Dallas, producing 52 in 75 games. As a free agent in 2019, Perry joined the Stars and scored five goals and 21 points in 57 games, adding nine points in 27 playoff games.
Nathan MacKinnon (55 points)
50GP - 20G - 35A
At the moment, Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon is one of three active players who have scored at more than a point-per-game pace against the Stars. Meanwhile, at just 31, he’s already built up a career worthy of the Hall of Fame, including winning the Stanley Cup, Calder, Hart, and Richard Trophies. In 14 seasons, he’s surpassed 100 points on four occasions, including the last four. MacKinnon has produced 1.20 points-per-game in his career, with 1.10 against Dallas in 50 games.
Mark Scheifele (56 points)
49GP - 24G - 32A
Mark Scheifele is another long-time member of the Jets, spending his entire 16-year career with the club. Although he was previously the franchise’s all-time leading scorer, the NHL altered the team’s record books in 2026, which means he’s on a quest yet again to regain his spot at the top, a milestone he'll likely reach at some point during the 2026-27 season. Moreover, Scheifele has never scored more than 47 points against any other franchise besides Dallas, where he’s produced at a 1.14 points-per-game average throughout his career.
Patrick Kane (77 points)
69GP - 32G - 45A
Without a doubt, Patrick Kane is one of, if not the best American-born player in NHL history. Whether discussing his three Stanley Cup wins or his points record, his name is not only at the top of most people’s lists when discussing Americans, but also among players who skated for the Blackhawks. After three seasons away in the Eastern Conference, Kane is back in Chicago and back in the Central Division, giving him plenty of opportunities to add to his point totals against the Stars. Surprisingly, the only team Kane has scored more against is the Columbus Blue Jackets, against whom he has 92 points.
