Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Scores, assists in win over Sharks
Wyatt Johnston had a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.Johnston enjoyed an excellent start to the season and cracked the scoresheet in his first five appearances, but he's cooled off since then. This was his first multi-point outing of the campaign, and excluding that five-game stretch at the beginning of the season, he only has four points (two goals, two assists) in 13 contests. Given that Johnston had 65 points in 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24, this is not the kind of start neither he nor fantasy managers were hoping for.

Wyatt Johnston scored a power-play goal on eight shots in Monday's 7-1 win over the Penguins.Johnston started the season on a five-game point streak, but this was just his second point over the last nine contests.

Given his recent slump, Johnston is an excellent buy-low candidate.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: First point in six games
Wyatt Johnston picked up an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Florida during Dallas' NHL Global Series game in Finland.Johnston earned his first point in six games. The 21-year-old has struggled out of the gate after a remarkable 2023-24, where many analysts thought he was often the best Dallas Stars player on the ice. He has just one goal and five assists in 11 games. Johnston's shooting rate, which is at an abysmal 4.0 percent, should start to revert to his career norm (14.2 percent), and the points will flow. Stay patient.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Deals helper in shootout win
Wyatt Johnston registered an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.Johnston stretched his season-opening point streak to four games (one goal, three assists) when he helped out on a Roope Hintz tally late in the second period. In addition to the steady offense, Johnston has six shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while seeing time on both the first and third lines at various times. The 21-year-old forward had 65 points in 82 regular-season outings last year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him come close to a point-per-game pace in 2024-25 given he plays a key role on a team that can produce goals in a variety of ways.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Contributes assist in win
Wyatt Johnston posted an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.Johnston led all Dallas Stars forwards with 21:09 of ice time despite playing in a third-line role at even strength. That was a common occurrence down the stretch and in the playoffs in 2023-24, as the line assignment typically doesn't define Johnston's usage too strictly. The 21-year-old put up 65 points (10 on the power play) and 216 shots on net in 82 regular-season contests last year, and he could still find another level in his game this season.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: In action Thursday
Wyatt Johnston (undisclosed), as expected, will be in the lineup to face Nashville on Thursday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.Johnston has yet to miss a game in his NHL career and will continue that streak heading into the 2024-25 campaign. The 21-year-old center looks set for a third-line role versus the Predators but should still see time with the No. 1 power-play unit. As such, Johnston should still offer top-half fantasy value given his offensive upside.

Wyatt Johnston, who is dealing with an undisclosed injury, is still expected to suit up versus Nashville on Thursday, Dallas Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.Johnston played in all 82 games in each of the previous two seasons, but that record could be in doubt if he suffers a setback ahead of Thursday's Opening Night contest. If he avoids any extended absences, Johnston could challenge his career-high numbers from last season when he set personal bests in goals (32), assists (33) and shots on net (216).
