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: 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.
