Denis Gurianov

Gurianov had a disappointing season both statistically and in matters less easy to define. Bottom line, Alexander Radulov fell off a cliff last season, leaving an opening for a player like Gurianov to step in and take advantage. Jason Robertson did that in the previous season, and the thought was that Gurianov was ready to really have a breakout year.

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has signed forward Denis Gurianov to a one-year contract extension, which will run through the 2022-23 season. The one-year deal is worth $2,900,000. Gurianov, 25, set new career-highs with 20 assists and 31 points (11-20=31) through...

The Dallas Stars reached a one-year extension with Denis Gurianov, giving him quite the birthday present as he turns 25. The deal will carry a salary of $2.9M, which would have been Gurianov’s qualifying offer this summer. A one-year deal avoids any arbitration dealings with the young forward, something...

Gurianov signed a one-year, $2.9 million contract extension with the Stars on Tuesday. Gurianov was a solid contributor up front for the Stars in 2021-22, picking up 11 goals and 31 points while averaging 14:11 of ice time through 73 regular-season appearances. The 25-year-old Russian should produce similar if not better numbers while playing on a one-year, "prove-it" deal in 2022-23.

Gurianov provided an assist and fired two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Kraken. Gurianov had gone seven games without a point entering Saturday. He changed that by setting up Vladislav Namestnikov's game-winning tally in the second period. Consistency remains an issue for Gurianov, who has been an occasional healthy scratch under head coach Rick Bowness. The winger set a new career high in points with 31 in 70 contests with his helper Saturday. He's added 141 shots on net, 66 hits and a plus-2 rating.

Gurianov (illness) won't play Saturday against visiting New Jersey, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports. The 24-year-old will miss his third straight game with the ailment. Gurianov will have a chance to return in a quick turnaround Sunday in Chicago, but since the team likely won't hold a morning skate ahead of that contest, fantasy managers will probably need to wait to see if he takes the ice for pregame warmups.

Gurianov was a healthy scratch for Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Devils, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports. Gurianov was previously sidelined with an illness, but he's evidently now healthy and simply the odd man out among the Stars' forward group. The 24-year-old winger has racked up 11 goals and 30 points through 63 contests this season, so he should be back in the lineup sooner rather than later.

Dallas Stars fans do love their discourse, and the discourse surrounding Denis Gurianov and his place in the lineup are different only in kind from those that have gone before. The 24-year-old forward’s game has become something of a Rorschach test – and how you perceive his value depends on...

Gurianov (illness) won't play Thursday versus Toronto, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports. Gurianov will miss a second straight contest due to an illness. Another update on the 24-year-old winger, who's collected 30 points through 63 games this season, should surface once he's cleared to rejoin the lineup.

Gurianov (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Islanders, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports. Gurianov's absence likely opens the door for Alexander Radulov to return to the lineup after he was a healthy scratch Sunday versus the Kraken. Gurianov will aim to return Thursday versus the Maple Leafs.

Stars (37-25-3, 77 points) vs. Ducks (27-30-11, 65 points) With two extra forwards and the need to find out what newcomers like Marian Studenic and Vladislav Namestnikov can do, the Stars on Thursday will scratch Denis Gurianov. Gurianov, 24, was a first-round draft pick (12th overall) in 2015, and has...

Gurianov notched an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Sharks. Gurianov was a healthy scratch Thursday versus the Ducks, but he responded well upon reentering the lineup. The winger set up Jason Robertson's buzzer-beating goal in the first period. Gurianov has struggled with consistency this season, but he's matched his career high with 30 points, though he needed 62 games to do it this year compared to 55 last season. The 24-year-old has added 130 shots on net, a plus-6 rating and 60 hits while moving all around the lineup.

Gurianov scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Oilers. Gurianov struck just 24 seconds after Roope Hintz, propelling the Stars to the win in a back-and-forth battle. The 24-year-old Gurianov has two goals and two assists in his last four outings, though he's only topped 15 minutes of ice time once in that stretch. The winger has 11 tallies, 29 points, 126 shots on net, 57 hits and a plus-4 rating in 58 contests this season, often moving around the lineup.

Gurianov scored a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders. It's his first multi-point performance in over a month, but Gurianov has been able to make an occasional contribution in between those efforts, scoring four goals and seven points in the last 11 games. On the season, the 24-year-old has produced at about the same pace he did last year, managing 10 goals and 28 points through 56 contests.

On this week’s episode, we answer why the Dallas Stars are a roller coaster team, what to do with Denis Gurianov, trade deadline thoughts and more.

Gurianov produced an assist, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens. Gurianov helped out on John Klingberg's game-tying goal at 15:14 of the third period. The assist was Gurianov's second in the last four games. Outside of the top line, the Stars' lineup has been fluid lately -- the winger played on the third line Thursday but has also seen time in other roles. He's at 26 points, 121 shots on goal, 55 hits and a plus-3 rating through 55 contests, which is behind his scoring pace when he had 12 goals and 18 assists in 55 outings last season.
