Kraken's Chandler Stephenson: Nets goal in shootout loss

He's up to 20 points, 27 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 29 appearances.

Kraken's Chandler Stephenson: Two apples Sunday
Chandler Stephenson posted two helpers in 19:52 of ice time Sunday in a 7-5 win over the Rangers.Stephenson registered the primary assist on Oliver Bjorkstrand's power-play marker in the second period, and he added the secondary helper on Vince Dunn's goal in the final frame to give Seattle a 5-3 lead. Stephenson has been productive as a playmaker lately with five helpers over his last five games, but he's only scored once since Oct. 19. The left-shot center has only put 25 shots on goal through 28 games, so he'll be hard-pressed to match the 16 goals he's deposited in each of the last two seasons. Overall, the 30-year-old Stephenson is at two goals, 17 assists and a minus-10 rating.

Kraken's Chandler Stephenson: Big game hides struggles
Chandler Stephenson had a goal and two assists in an 8-5 loss to the Sharks on Saturday.Stephenson hasn't performed like the Seattle Kraken thought he would when they inked his 7-year, $43,750,000 contract this offseason. But with the three points Friday, he has 16 points, including 14 assists, in 24 games. That's reasonable production until you look under the hood and discover that all of those points came in eight games, including three contests that account for 10 of those points. Why does this matter? Stephenson isn't fantasy worthy without some significant consistency -- not at center at least.
