General manager Jim Nill said Sunday that Rantanen (lower body) will be a full-time participant in practice going forward and will travel with the team for its upcoming four-game road trip, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Tue, Mar 10, 2026 at 12:37 PM

Rantanen (lower body) has resumed skating, but his return to the lineup isn't imminent, per Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports on Tuesday.

Scouting Report

Few players have his combination of size, skill and speed. He has an excellent hockey IQ and can make plays at high speed. His one-time shot makes him a major threat on the power play, and he uses his size well to protect the puck. Is already among the NHL's best players and still has room to improve as he enters the prime of his career.

Long Range Potential: Elite scoring forward.
