|---|---|---|
| May 25, 2025 | Bichsel logged an assist, three shots on goal, five hits and two PIM in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3. - Bichsel was originally credited with the Stars' goal, but he had to settle for the primary helper on a Jason Robertson tally after a scoring update. The 21-year-old Bichsel has played every game this postseason, but this was his first point in 16 appearances. He's added 12 shots on net, 66 hits, seven blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-1 rating while filling a third-pairing role. While the results are starting to get away from the Stars, Bichsel continues to gain valuable experience early in his career, and he could be poised to take on a larger role as a shutdown defenseman in 2025-26. | None |
| April 18, 2025 | Bichsel was recalled from AHL Texas on Friday. - Bichsel was sent down Wednesday as the Stars needed his cap room to activate Tyler Seguin (hip) from long-term injured reserve. The playoffs have no bearing on the salary cap, enabling the Stars to recall the 20-year-old defenseman. Bichsel had four goals and five assists across 38 NHL regular-season NHL games before his demotion. | None |
| April 16, 2025 | Bichsel was reassigned to AHL Texas on Wednesday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports. - Bichsel's demotion will clear the necessary cap space for Tyler Seguin (hip) to be activated off long-term injured reserve. Additionally, the demotion of Bichsel and Alex Petrovic means Esa Lindell (rest) and Thomas Harley (rest) figure to be ready to play against Nashville on Wednesday. | None |
| April 15, 2025 | Bichsel scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Red Wings. - Bichsel snapped a five-game goal drought with the tally, tying the game at 1-1 in the first period. The 20-year-old blueliner is up to four goals, nine points, 39 shots on net, 155 hits, 41 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 38 appearances. He's likely to be in the lineup for Game 1 of the playoffs versus the Avalanche, but Bichsel is the most likely blueliner to give way once Miro Heiskanen (knee) is able to play again. | None |
| April 4, 2025 | Bichsel scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators. - Bichsel tacked on a goal at 12:42 of the third period to produce the final score. He has two points, a plus-4 rating, 17 PIM and 16 hits across his last five contests. The 20-year-old is doing fine in a limited role on the third pairing, earning seven points, 31 shots on net, 132 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-6 rating across 32 appearances. Offense probably won't be his calling card in the long run, but he's shaping up to be a physically intimidating bottom-four option who can take care of business in his own zone. | None |
| March 30, 2025 | Bichsel logged an assist, four hits and seven PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken. - Bichsel snapped a 13-game point drought with the helper, his first scoring contribution since Feb. 8 versus the Sharks. The 20-year-old defenseman has mostly been able to stick in the lineup because of his physical play, though he is stuck in a third-pairing role. He's produced six points, 126 hits, 18 blocked shots, 33 PIM, 27 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over his first 30 NHL appearances. | None |
| March 16, 2025 | Bichsel (illness) will play Sunday against the Avalanche, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports. - Bichsel will return to the Stars' lineup after missing their last game Friday. The 20-year-old blueliner has two goals, five points and a plus-6 rating through 22 games in his rookie campaign. | None |
| March 14, 2025 | Bichsel (illness) won't be in the lineup for Friday's clash with Winnipeg, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports. - Bichsel will be replaced in the lineup by Brendan Smith, who will be suiting up for the first time since March 2 against the Blues. For his part, the 20-year-old Bichsel has managed two goals on 21 shots, three assists and 90 hits while averaging 14:57 of ice time this year. | None |
| March 13, 2025 | Bichsel (illness) is likely to be a game-time Friday in Winnipeg, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports. - Bichsel was under the weather when he woke up Thursday, head coach Peter DeBoer said, and was unsure whether or not Bichsel would be able to travel Thursday. The 20-year-old defenseman has two goals, three assists and 90 hits over 22 outings with Dallas this season. Should Bichsel sit out Friday, look for Brendan Smith to enter the lineup. | None |
| March 7, 2025 | Bichsel was reassigned to AHL Texas on Friday. - Bichsel's demotion is almost certainly designed to give the Stars some more roster and cap flexibility ahead of Friday's trade deadline. Since mid-December, the 20-year-old blueliner has played in 20 NHL games for Dallas and will likely be recalled from the minors ahead of Saturday's clash with Edmonton. | None |
| March 3, 2025 | Bichsel (concussion) is expected to be an option to play against New Jersey on Tuesday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports. - Bichsel could replace Brendan Smith in the lineup after missing the last three games. The 20-year-old Bichsel has two goals, five points, 15 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and 73 hits across 18 NHL appearances this season. | None |
| March 1, 2025 | Bichsel (concussion) isn't likely to play Sunday against St. Louis, though he's considered probable for Tuesday's matchup with the Devils, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports. - It appears that Bichsel will miss a third straight game since suffering a concussion last week against the Islanders, though the 20-year-old defenseman has been skating in practice and appears poised to return early next week. Bichsel has two goals and five points in 18 games with Dallas this season. | None |
| Feb. 28, 2025 | Bichsel (concussion) is skating but has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings, according to Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest. - Bichsel was injured against the Islanders on Sunday and has already missed one game ahead of Friday's tilt against Los Angeles. The 20-year-old rookie defenseman has two goals, three assists and 73 hits across 18 appearances for Dallas this season. The good news is that he has been progressing and could return as early as Sunday versus St. Louis. | None |
| Feb. 25, 2025 | Bichsel is in concussion protocol and will be sidelined for at least five to six days, according to Sean Shapiro of DLLS Sports on Tuesday. - With Bichsel's timeline in mind, the left-shot blueliner is in danger of missing Dallas' next two games. The 20-year-old sustained the injury in Sunday's game against the Islanders and did not return. Brendan Smith will slot in on the third pairing Tuesday against the Blue Jackets, most likely alongside Matt Dumba. | None |
| Feb. 23, 2025 | Bichsel sustained an upper-body injury in Sunday's game against the Islanders and will not return. - Bichsel was on the receiving end of a hard hit in the second period from Casey Cizikas, who received a five-minute major penalty on the play. The Stars can ill-afford to lose Bichsel -- Miro Heiskanen (knee) is on the shelf, and they will be without Nils Lundkvist (shoulder) for the rest of the campaign. Brendan Smith will draw back into the lineup Tuesday in Columbus if Bichsel is unable to suit up. | None |
| Feb. 18, 2025 | Bichsel was recalled from AHL Texas on Tuesday. - Bichsel rejoins the Stars after being sent down before the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament. The left-shot blueliner should be able to carve out a consistent role due to long-term injuries to Miro Heiskanen (knee) and Nils Lundkvist (shoulder). Bichsel has registered two goals, three assists and a plus-6 rating across 16 games this season. | None |
| Feb. 8, 2025 | Bichsel was reassigned to AHL Texas on Saturday. - Bichsel had two assists, five shots on goal, four PIM, two hits and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Sharks. He'll likely be back with the big club following the 4 Nations Face-Off break, as he has been filling in for Miro Heiskanen (knee) on the blue line. Bichsel has earned five points with 64 hits, a plus-6 rating and 14 shots on net over his first 16 NHL appearances. | None |
| Feb. 2, 2025 | Bichsel notched an assist and four hits in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets. - This was Bichsel's first career helper, though he opened his NHL career with two goals over three games in December. The 20-year-old blueliner has a chance to carve out a role as a regular during Miro Heiskanen's (knee) absence, though Bichsel will be competing with Brendan Smith and Matt Dumba for regular minutes. Bichsel is at three points, seven shots on net, 50 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 13 appearances. His fantasy value is highest in formats that reward physicality, and he should be on the radar in dynasty leagues, though offense is unlikely to be a significant part of his production in the long run. | None |
| Jan. 23, 2025 | Bichsel was recalled from AHL Texas on Thursday, - Bichsel was returned to the AHL on Dec. 30 and had no points in seven games, giving him three goals and nine points in 28 AHL games this season. The 20-year-old has two goals and 26 hits across eight NHL games this season. Bichsel is likely to be a healthy scratch when the Stars face Vegas on Friday, barring any injuries to their top-six defensemen. | None |
| Dec. 30, 2024 | Bichsel was assigned to AHL Texas on Monday, per Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports. - Bichsel has two goals, four shots on net, two blocked shots and 26 hits in eight NHL appearances this season. If Bichsel isn't back with Dallas before Tuesday's game and Matt Dumba (upper body) remains on injured reserve, Brendan Smith could play against Buffalo. | None |
| Dec. 27, 2024 | Bichsel was recalled from AHL Texas on Friday, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine. - Bichsel has played six games at the NHL level this season, scoring a pair of goals. The 20-year-old was selected 18th overall in 2022 and the Stars are quite enamored with the behemoth defenseman, who already has 20 hits in the NHL, including six versus Utah on Monday. | None |
| Dec. 23, 2024 | Bichsel was loaned to AHL Texas on Monday. - Bichsel made his sixth appearance of the season Monday, compiling six hits and one blocked shot in a 3-2 win over Utah. The Swiss blueliner's 11:58 of ice time was the lowest among Dallas' defensemen, so he might benefit from more consistent playing time in the AHL. Bichsel has found the back of the net twice but has yet to register an assist at the NHL level in 2024-25. | None |
| Dec. 20, 2024 | Bichsel was recalled from AHL Texas on Friday. - Bichsel was sent to the AHL on Thursday, but he'll rejoin the NHL club a day later. The 20-year-old has made four appearances for Dallas across the past week, racking up two goals and 13 hits while averaging 15:24 of ice time. Bichsel should have a chance to suit up Friday against the Rangers if Thomas Harley (illness) or Nils Lundkvist (illness) is unavailable. | None |
| Dec. 19, 2024 | Bichsel was loaned to AHL Texas on Thursday. - Bichsel has spent most of the past week with Dallas and has made an impression during his first taste of NHL action, logging two goals and 13 hits while averaging 15:24 of ice time over four appearances. It's not yet clear whether the 20-year-old will rejoin the NHL club ahead of Friday's game against the Rangers, but whether he's called back up will likely depend on whether Thomas Harley (illness) or Nils Lundkvist (illness) are able to return. | None |
| Dec. 17, 2024 | Bichsel scored a goal and added four hits in Monday's 3-1 win over the Capitals. - Bichsel's shot banked in off a Capitals defenseman at 17:35 of the second period, and that stood as the game-winning goal. The 20-year-old defenseman has two goals, three shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-2 rating through his first three NHL outings. The Stars will likely remain cautious with his minutes, but his strong play could force them to keep him around with the big club even once Matt Dumba (upper body) and Thomas Harley (illness) are healthy. | None |
| Dec. 16, 2024 | Bichsel was summoned from AHL Texas on Monday. - Bichsel has suited up for Dallas in the last two games and could play again in Monday's matchup against Washington. He has one goal, two shots on net and eight hits in two NHL appearances this season. Bichsel has been filling in on the blue line due to the absences of Matt Dumba (upper body) and Nils Lundkvist (illness). | None |
| Dec. 15, 2024 | Bichsel was reassigned to AHL Texas on Sunday. - Bichsel made an impact in his first two NHL games, scoring a goal while racking up eight hits. The 20-year-old blueliner could find himself back with the Stars if Matt Dumba (upper body) can't suit up in Monday's contest versus Washington. | None |
| Dec. 13, 2024 | Bichsel scored his first career goal while adding a team-high five hits, two shots on net, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Predators. - In his NHL debut, the 20-year-old defenseman spoiled a shutout bid for Justus Annunen with a quick shot from the top of the faceoff circle midway through the third period. Bichsel, the 18th overall pick in the 2022 Draft, isn't going to see prime ice time on a blue line that already has Miro Heiskanen, Thomas Harley and Esa Lindell entrenched in key roles, but he appears ready to handle a regular shift while Matt Dumba (upper body) is sidelined. | None |
| Dec. 12, 2024 | Bichsel was called up from AHL Texas on Thursday, Brian Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports. - Bichsel was recalled as Matt Dumba missed practice Wednesday with an upper-body injury and the Stars needed a sixth or seventh defenseman, in case Dumba is unavailable Thursday versus Nashville. Bichsel had three goals and nine points in 21 AHL contests before his recall. | None |
| Oct. 5, 2024 | Bichsel was reassigned to AHL Texas on Saturday. - Bichsel had two goals, four points and 28 PIM in 29 regular-season games with Rogle BK in Sweden in 2023-24 before joining AHL Texas where he finished the campaign with a goal, seven points and 34 PIM across 16 regular-season outings with the minor-league squad. Selected with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, Bichsel is a towering defenseman with plenty of potential, but he'll need more time to hone his skills before eventually making his NHL debut. | None |
| May 15, 2024 | Bichsel was summoned from AHL Texas on Wednesday. - Bichsel had a goal, seven points and 34 PIM in 16 regular-season contests with Texas and also recorded an assist in five AHL playoff outings this year. He hasn't made his NHL debut and is unlikely to play for Dallas during the 2024 postseason. | None |
| May 1, 2024 | Bichsel will link up with AHL Texas for the Calder Cup playoffs, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports Wednesday. - Bichsel started the season with AHL Texas, recording seven points in 16 games, before joining Rogle BK in Sweden for the rest of the campaign. The 19-year-old defenseman is unlikely to offer much in the way of offensive upside even if he does make it to the NHL. Instead, the 2022 first-round pick's value would come from defensive stats like hits and blocks. | None |
| Nov. 29, 2023 | Bichsel will be assigned from AHL Texas to the Swedish Hockey League's Rogle on Monday. He'll return to Texas once Rogle's season is finished. - Bichsel has a goal, five points and 24 PIM in 13 games with Texas this season. The 19-year-old is the one who made the choice to play for Rogle and GM Jim Nill said the Stars respect the decision. Bichsel was taken with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. | None |
| Sept. 14, 2023 | Bichsel (ankle) suited up for the Stars' first game Thursday at the Traverse City prospect tournament, Dallas radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports. - Bichsel's presence in game action suggests his broken ankle from May is fully healed. The 19-year-old defenseman is expected to make the move to North America in 2023-24 with AHL Texas, assuming he doesn't sustain any additional injuries during training camp. | None |
| Sept. 8, 2023 | Bichsel (ankle) practiced with other members of the Stars on Friday. - Bichsel suffered a broken ankle in May that required surgery. It's not clear if he'll be ready for the start of the season, but the fact that he's on the ice is a good sign. Bichsel had a goal, six points and 47 PIM in 42 games with Leksands of the Swedish Hockey League last year. Dallas took him with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. | None |
