Impact Steel has four helpers over his last 10 contests, though he doesn't have a goal in that span.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.
