Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Riding five-game point streak
Wyatt Johnston notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.Johnston's point streak is up to five games (one goal, five assists) after he set up Roope Hintz's game-winner Friday. This matches Johnston's longest streak of the season -- he also opened the campaign with points in five straight. Between those hot stretches, he's lacked consistency. He's at 13 points, 61 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 22 appearances. The 21-year-old is too talented to shoot 4.9 percent all season, so expect his offense to improve eventually.

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.

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.

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.
