He's currently playing on a remodeled second line for the Stars, with Jamie Benn and Matt Duchene as linemates. That trio collectively plays an excellent two-way game, and while that might not lead to elite offense, Johnston should remain productive.

Johnston is at eight goals, 24 points, 98 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 35 appearances this season.

Impact This was Johnston's third helper over the last four games, though he's gone six contests without a goal. It's not his worst slump of the year -- he had a 10-game goal drought from Oct. 15 to Nov. 9. He's now at the 20-point mark (six goals, 14 assists) with 93 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-1 rating over 33 appearances. Johnston is currently centering the third line, though he's had somewhat limited success both there and as a right wing on the top line.

Adds helper in loss Johnston notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Johnston remains warm on offense, earning three goals and six helpers over his last nine outings. He assisted on Mason Marchment's tally late in the third period of this loss. Johnston's recent run of success has him up to 16 points, 70 shots on net, 17 hits, 14 blocked shots and 10 PIM through 26 appearances. He's behind the pace that yielded a 65-point regular season last year, but Johnston remains in a prominent role in the Stars' offense, so he could make up ground over the rest of the campaign.

DECEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores on power play Johnston scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

Impact Johnston opened the scoring just 2:34 into the game. The 21-year-old forward has three goals and five assists over his last eight contests, though he had a six-game point streak snapped Monday in Utah. He's now at five goals, 15 points, 67 shots on net, 15 hits and 14 blocked shots through 25 appearances this season. Johnston has switched between the first and third lines this season, though he could get a look alongside Matt Duchene and Mason Marchment at some point since Tyler Seguin (hip) is out until April.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Extends point streak with goal Johnston scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Johnston tied the game at 1-1 late in the first period. His tally gives him two goals and five assists during a six-game point streak. That's the kind of production fantasy managers were expecting of the 21-year-old, who looks to be thawed out after a fairly chilly first quarter of the campaign. He's up to four goals, 14 points, 63 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating across 23 appearances.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Riding five-game point streak Johnston notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Johnston's point streak is up to five games (one goal, five assists) after he set up Roope Hintz's game-winner Friday. This matches Johnston's longest streak of the season -- he also opened the campaign with points in five straight. Between those hot stretches, he's lacked consistency. He's at 13 points, 61 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 22 appearances. The 21-year-old is too talented to shoot 4.9 percent all season, so expect his offense to improve eventually.

Scores, assists in win over Sharks Johnston had a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Johnston enjoyed an excellent start to the season and cracked the scoresheet in his first five appearances, but he's cooled off since then. This was his first multi-point outing of the campaign, and if excluding that five-game stretch at the beginning of the season, he only has four points (two goals, two assists) in 13 contests. Given that Johnston had 65 points in 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24, this is not the kind of start nor he or fantasy managers were waiting for.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

First point in six games Johnston picked up an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss in the Global Series Finland.

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.

NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Deals helper in shootout win Johnston registered an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.

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.

Snipes goal in win Johnston scored a goal, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.

Impact Johnston had the Stars' second goal, firing in a shot from the right circle just 13 seconds after Sam Steel put the home team on the board in the first period. The 21-year-old Johnston has a goal, two assists, five shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over three contests this season. He continues to play key minutes while filling a third-line center role, which isn't a problem on a team as deep as Dallas.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes assist in win Johnston posted an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.

Impact Johnston led all 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.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

In action Thursday Johnston (undisclosed), as expected, will be in the lineup to face Nashville on Thursday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Wyatt Johnston probable, Mavrik Bourque doubtful for Stars season opener at Nashville The Dallas Stars could be without a key centerman Thursday in Nashville.
