Tufte, 24, split the 2021-22 season between Dallas and the Texas Stars, Dallas' top development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL). He made his NHL debut in 2021-22, earning one goal (1-0=1) and recording five shots, nine hits and four blocked shots in 10 regular-season games with Dallas. He also played 54 regular-season AHL games with Texas and recorded professional career highs with 10 goals and 20 points (10-10=20). He made his debut in the Calder Cup Playoffs in 2022, skating in one game and registering four shots. In three AHL seasons, Tufte has earned 44 points (16-28=44) in 143 career regular-season games.

Tufte was reassigned to AHL Texas on Saturday. With Braden Holtby (lower body) sidelined, Tufte was demoted in order to make room for goaltender Adam Scheel on the active roster. Tufte will likely be back with the big club as soon as Holtby is ready to return.

Tufte scored a goal, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Wild. Tufte, a Minnesota native, scored his first NHL goal and point in his home state. He struck on a feed from John Klingberg at 3:13 of the second period. Tufte has played in four of the Stars' last six games, but he's only averaging 6:57 of ice time per game as a fourth-liner. Fantasy managers likely won't need to track his progress closely this season.
