Wyatt Johnston - NHL News & Rumors

Nets power-play marker Johnston scored a power-play goal on eight shots in Monday's 7-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Johnston started the season on a five-game point streak, but this was just his second point over the last nine contests. The 21-year-old has seven points, 38 shots on net, nine hits and nine blocked shots over 14 appearances. He was on the third line with Jamie Benn and Logan Stankoven in this game, though Johnston has also found success when playing on the top line. Given his recent slump, Johnston is an excellent buy-low candidate.

Impact It was his first point in six games. The 21-year-old Johnston has struggled out of the gate after a remarkable 2023-24 where many analysts thought he was often the best 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.

Impact Johnston stretched his season-opening point streak to four games (one goal, three assists) when he helped out on a Roope Hintz tally late in the second period. In addition to the steady offense, Johnston has six shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while seeing time on both the first and third lines at various times. The 21-year-old forward had 65 points in 82 regular-season outings last year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him come close to a point-per-game pace in 2024-25 given he plays a key role on a team that can produce goals in a variety of ways.

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.

Impact Johnston has yet to miss a game in his NHL career and will continue that streak heading into the 2024-25 campaign.
