Finds twine Saturday Stephenson scored a goal and added four hits in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.

Impact Stephenson was listed on the top line Saturday with Jack Eichel (undisclosed) joining William Karlsson (lower body) among Vegas' wounded centers. The goal was Stephenson's first since Dec. 17, but he was the only Golden Knight to solve Jacob Markstrom. Stephenson is up to seven tallies, 20 points, 49 shots on net, 23 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 39 outings. He may be able to jump-start his offense if he continues to see a bigger role, but he's been fairly disappointing for fantasy managers in the first half.

Snaps slump with helper Stephenson produced an assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact Stephenson ended a seven-game point drought when he set up a Pavel Dorofeyev tally in the second period. Consistency on offense has been an issue for Stephenson this season. He'll be expected to be more reliable with William Karlsson (lower body) out on a week-to-week basis. Stephenson's filled in on the second line, but he could be replaced by Nicolas Roy if he struggles. For the season, Stephenson has 19 points, 44 shots on net, 19 hits, 19 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 36 appearances.

Nets shorthanded tally Stephenson scored a shorthanded goal in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Impact Stephenson's goal at 11:31 of the second period was also the game-winner. His offense has come to life recently with four goals and three assists over his last six games. The 29-year-old center had just a total of three helpers in November. He's up to 18 points (seven on the power play, two shorthanded) with 35 shots on net, 19 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 28 contests overall.

Two more points Tuesday Stephenson scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flames.

Impact Stephenson has goals in three straight games, and he's picked up six points during a four-game streak. He also has 10 shots on net in that span after putting just eight pucks on target over the prior nine contests. The 29-year-old seems to be emerging from his slump while playing in a middle-six role. For the season, he's at five tallies, 17 points (seven on the power play), 33 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 26 appearances.

Pair of points Sunday Stephenson scored a power-play goal on two shots, added an assist and blocked three shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Sharks.

Impact Stephenson snapped a 20-game goal drought Saturday, and now he's found twine in consecutive games. He has four points over his last three outings on the heels of a six-game drought. Fantasy managers have likely been low on patience with Stephenson, who has come nowhere near the reliable 60-point pace he established over the last two campaigns. He's at 15 points, 30 shots on net, 17 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 25 appearances in 2023-24. A low shot rate isn't helping his cause much, but there's reason to be optimistic he can turn things around with his current warm stretch.

Snaps 20-game goal drought Stephenson scored a goal on two shots in a 6-1 win over the Golden Knights on Saturday.

Impact He snapped a 20-game goal drought with a backhander from the slot at the 2:24 mark of the first. It put the Knights up 1-0 on the road, and they never looked back. Stephenson has a point (one goal, one assist) in each of his last two games after a one-assist-in-10-games slump. It's been a bit mystifying for fantasy managers -- Stephenson delivered 129 points over the last two regular seasons and another 20 in 22 playoff games last season. He was even in the discussion for the Conn Smythe Trophy before Jonathan Marchessault was named winner. Stephenson might be putting his quiet play behind him, but his fantasy manager might be ready to throw in the towel. Inquire to see if you can make a buy-low deal.

Helps out on power play Stephenson notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Blues.

Impact Stephenson has managed just two assists, both on the power play, over 10 games since he returned from an upper-body injury. It's unclear if that injury has lingered -- he's maintained his regular middle-six role amid the slump, which has also seen him go minus-6 with just 11 shots on net. Stephenson has always been more of a playmaker, but with just 12 points (five on the power play) and 26 shots on net over 23 contests, he'll be hard-pressed to get to the 60-point mark for a third consecutive season.

Four of his points have come on the power play and one other was a shorthanded assist.

Impact Stephenson snapped a three-game slump with the helper. He had two multi-point efforts over the first three contests of the campaign, but he's been limited to three assists across seven games since.
