Secures Game 7 win Johnston scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Monday's 2-1 win over the Kraken in Game 7.

Impact Johnston caught the Kraken napping, beating them to a loose puck and then roofing a shot off Philipp Grubauer's shoulder and into the net. It was the series-clinching tally for the Stars, and it came just a day after Johnston turned 20 years old. The rookie center has four goals, two assists, 34 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-1 rating through 13 playoff appearances while filling a middle-six role.

Opens the scoring in win Johnston scored a goal on his sole shot Thursday as the Stars drove to a 5-2 victory over the 'Canes.

Impact Johnston didn't get a lot of attention during the regular season despite scoring 24 goals and 41 points as a 19 year old. In the postseason, he has had something of a coming out party. He has been a problem for opposing teams most nights, even if it's not always showing up on the scoresheet. Despite strong play, he has just three goals and five points through 11 games. He's an exciting depth option, but the results have not been consistent.

The tally came midway through the second period to put Dallas ahead 2-0, and it proved to be the series-clinching marker. During the regular season, Johnston had 24 goals and 41 points in 82 outings.
