Top Sam Steel News

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Scores in loss to Toronto

    Steel scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

    Steel has two goals and two assists over nine contests in December. It's not a lot of offense, but he continues to provide consistency in a depth role for the Stars, most often as the fourth-line center. He's up to four goals, 13 points, 36 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-2 rating through 30 outings overall. Steel has a chance at a career-best year -- his previous high mark is 28 points in 65 games in 2022-23 with the Wild.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Tallies in Sunday's win

    Steel scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

    Steel was on the third line Sunday, flanked by Jamie Benn and Evgenii Dadonov while Mavrik Bourque was on the fourth line. The goal was Steel's first since Nov. 7, though he had a decent five helpers over 14 contests between goals. The 26-year-old center is a depth scorer at best, though he's one that the Stars seem to trust to fill a versatile role. This season, he has three goals, 11 points, 27 shots on net, 27 hits and a minus-3 rating over 26 appearances.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Logs another assist

    Steel produced an assist in Monday's 2-1 win over Utah.

    Steel is up to 12 games without a goal, but he has five assists and 14 hits in that span. The 26-year-old could see a larger role while Tyler Seguin (lower body) is on injured reserve, though it doesn't appear that will include power-play time. Steel is at 10 points, 22 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-3 rating through 23 appearances this season.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Gets helper in win

    Steel notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

    Steel has four helpers over his last 10 contests, though he doesn't have a goal in that span. The 26-year-old forward continues to log steady bottom-six minutes for the Stars, and he's chipped in offense roughly in line with that role. He's at nine points, 22 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-2 rating through 21 appearances. Steel's not a lock for the lineup every game, but he'll be in there more often than not, which makes him steady enough to help fantasy managers in deep formats.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Plucks apple in win

    Steel notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

    Steel hasn't scored in seven games, but he has three helpers in that span. The 26-year-old center continues to fill a fourth-line role, though he often sees ice time in line with a middle-six assignment, which is likely a product of Mavrik Bourque having his minutes managed. Steel is up to two goals, six helpers, 22 shots on net and 18 hits through 18 outings overall.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Assists in consecutive games

    Steel provided an assist in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Wild.

    Steel set up Mason Marchment's second tally of the game, which stood as the game-winner. The 26-year-old Steel has helpers in back-to-back contests, and he's up to five points through seven outings in November. While he's mostly been confined to a fourth-line role, Steel continues to find ways to chip in. He has seven points, 19 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-2 rating over 15 appearances, and he's one of the first in line to move up the lineup when there are injury concerns.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Pair of points in win

    Steel scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Steel opened the scoring at 11:06 of the first period and helped out on Tyler Seguin's tally midway through the second. The 26-year-old Steel filled in on the second line due to Mason Marchment's (undisclosed) absence Thursday. Steel has five points, 16 shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-2 rating over 11 appearances. He may have some streaming appeal in fantasy as long as he's on the second line, though that won't be the case with the Stars facing the Jets on Saturday.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Slings helper Friday

    Steel notched an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Panthers in Finland.

    Steel ended a five-game point drought with his helper on Mavrik Bourque's third-period tally. The 26-year-old Steel is up to three points, 12 shots on net, seven hits and a minus-3 rating over nine appearances. He's locked into a fourth-line role, though he occasionally gets more ice time with in-game adjustments.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Available Tuesday

    Steel (undisclosed) is good to play Tuesday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

    Steel missed Saturday's 4-1 win over Edmonton due to the injury. He has a goal and two points in five appearances this season. Oskar Back is projected to be a healthy scratch for the first time in 2024-25.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Traveling with club

    Steel (undisclosed) will be on the Stars' two-game road trip, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports Monday.

    In five games this season, Steel has tallied one goal on five shots, one assist and three hits while averaging 13:28 of ice time. If the Alberta native does suit up against the Sabres on Tuesday or the Bruins on Thursday, it figures to be in a bottom-six role where he will offer minimal offensive upside.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Unavailable Saturday

    Steel (undisclosed) isn't expected to play against Edmonton on Saturday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

    Steel sustained the injury late in Thursday's game. He has a goal and an assist through five appearances this season. With Steel unavailable, Matej Blumel is set to draw into the lineup after being summoned from AHL Texas on Saturday.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Questionable for Saturday

    Steel is questionable for Saturday's game against Edmonton due to an undisclosed injury, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

    Steel suffered his injury during his final shift against Washington on Thursday, and the Stars will likely wait to see how he feels in the hours leading up to Saturday's matchup before determining his status. If Steel is unable to dress against the Oilers, the Stars will likely call up another skater to provide additional depth.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Opens scoring in win

    Steel scored a goal in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.

    Steel's tally at 16:17 of the first period held up as the game-winning goal. It was the first goal and second point through three games this season for the 26-year-old center, who has added a plus-1 rating and two shots on net. Steel appears to be a lock for a fourth-line role, but it would likely take injuries higher in the lineup for him to earn more ice time.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Helps out on empty-netter

    Steel posted an assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Islanders.

    Steel helped out on Tyler Seguin's empty-net goal to seal the win. The 26-year-old Steel occupies a fourth-line role for the Stars, and he's valued for his on-ice contributions. The center has topped the 20-point mark in four of the last five seasons, but he offers middling production across the board and doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Back with Dallas

    Steel signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Stars on Sunday, per CapFriendly.

    Steel wasn't qualified by Dallas but the team didn't let him get to the open market. He tallied nine goals and 24 points in 77 regular-season games last year and added another five points in 19 postseason appearances. Steel should maintain a bottom-six role during the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Sam Steel: Testing open market

    Dallas didn't present Steel with a qualifying offer Sunday to retain his NHL rights.

    As a result, Steel will be eligible to test the open market Monday as an unrestricted free agent. The 26-year-old forward generated nine goals, 24 points and 86 shots on net in 77 regular-season appearances with the Stars in 2023-24.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Contributes assist

    Steel notched an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Steel snapped a three-game drought with his helper on a Mason Marchment goal in the third period. Through 15 playoff outings, Steel has five points, 13 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-2 rating. He remains in a fourth-line role with no power-play time, but his spot in the lineup is safe even as head coach Pete DeBoer has shown little hesitation in changing his bottom-six personnel.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Two points in win

    Steel scored an empty-net goal on two shots, dished a shorthanded assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4.

    Steel's shot on a shorthanded chance led to Wyatt Johnston's goal on a rebound. Steel also deposited an empty-netter to seal the Stars' third straight win. The 26-year-old has just four points through 11 playoff outings, but three of them have come over the last two games. He could be in line for a larger role if Roope Hintz (upper body) misses time after leaving Monday's contest in the first period.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Posts assist in Game 3 win

    Steel logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

    Steel has just two assists to go with eight shots on net and 15 hits through 10 playoff outings. He's exceeded 14 minutes of ice time in four straight games despite being listed on the Stars' fourth line. Steel is far from a reliable scorer, but he appears to have the trust of head coach Pete DeBoer to handle a versatile depth role during the postseason.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Chips in with helper

    Steel logged an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

    Steel snapped a nine-game point drought with the helper on Ty Dellandrea's go-ahead goal in the second period. The 26-year-old Steel continues to see steady usage on the fourth line. He was solid with 24 points, 86 shots on net, 58 hits and 29 PIM over 77 regular-season appearances while filling a variety of spots in the bottom six.
