  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Held scoreless in return to lineup

    Johnston fired five shots on net and added a hit in Saturday's 4-0 win over Chicago.

    Making his return from a two-game absence due to an illness, Johnston was second on the Stars in shots behind Jason Robertson's seven, but he couldn't get one past Spencer Knight. Johnston is still looking for his first goal of 2026-27, picking up four assists in six games, but he should open his account soon enough after lighting the lamp 45 times in 82 regular-season contests last season.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Set to play Saturday

    Johnston (illness) will play against Chicago on Saturday, according to Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

    Following a two-game absence, Johnston should have a top-six role and a spot on the first power-play unit against the Blackhawks on Saturday. He has earned four assists, 11 shots on goal, four blocked shots and three hits in five appearances this season.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Targeting Saturday return

    Johnston (illness) is hoping to be available for Saturday's matchup with Chicago, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Johnston has already been ruled out versus the Avs on Wednesday due to his illness, with Joel Kiviranta (lower body) rejoining the lineup in Johnston's stead. The 23-year-old center has yet to find the back of the net in five outings so far this year, though he has racked up four helpers, including one with the man advantage.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Will miss Wednesday's game

    Johnston (illness) won't travel to Colorado for Wednesday's game versus the Avalanche, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Johnston hadn't missed a game in his career prior to Tuesday, but the illness will cost him consecutive contests. The 23-year-old center hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Blackhawks. Expect the Stars to roll with 11 forwards and seven defensemen again Wednesday.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Unavailable Tuesday

    Johnston (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Avalanche.

    Johnston will miss at least one game while under the weather. His status for Wednesday's rematch in Colorado has yet to be determined. The Stars will likely have to dress seven blueliners to cover Johnston's absence, with Kyle Capobianco set to come in Tuesday.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Records three assists

    Johnston recorded three assists, including one on the power play, and one shot on goal in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Sabres.

    Johnston was one of Dallas' primary playmakers, matching Rantanen with three assists while helping the Stars generate offense throughout the contest. The 23-year-old center also won seven of 11 faceoffs, providing a strong all-around contribution in the convincing victory, and he's up to four assists this season. He's lacking in the goals column, though, as he hasn't scored in four appearances despite taking 10 shots on goal.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Adds power-play goal in loss

    Johnston scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild in Game 6.

    Johnston had four goals and two assists over six games in the Stars' first-round exit. He earned five of those points with the man advantage, but the Stars weren't able to add enough even-strength offense to get past the Wild. While this early exit is disappointing, Johnston has emerged as one of the good young players in the league, though he's just a notch or two below superstar status. He had 45 goals and 86 points over 82 regular-season outings, though his 21.8 shooting percentage could be a slight red flag.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Clutches up in double-overtime win

    Johnston scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 double-overtime win over the Wild in Game 3.

    Johnston's already impressive resume got another bullet point for his work Wednesday. He helped out on Matt Duchene's equalizer in the third period before scoring the game-winner at 12:10 of the second overtime frame to make the Wild pay for Danila Yurov's puck-over-glass penalty. Johnston has torched Minnesota for three goals and two assists over three contests in this series. He's seen postseason action in all four of his NHL campaigns, and prior to this year, he had 18 goals and 32 points over 56 playoff outings. Johnston is already well on his way to surpassing the 10 points he had in 18 playoff contests a year ago.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Pots two goals Monday

    Johnston scored two goals, including an empty-netter on the power play, in Monday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.

    Johnston broke the deadlock for the Stars midway through the first period with a slap shot, and he'd later close out the scoring in the final minute when Minnesota was pushing for a late equalizer to send the game to overtime. Johnston had 45 goals and 86 points in 82 regular-season contests, and he's backing that up in the playoffs with three points (two goals, an assist) in his first two postseason contests.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Game grows from great to elite

    Johnston scored a goal in Monday's 6-5 win over Toronto.

    Johnston has had an outstanding season -- the goal was his 45th snipe and 86th point of the year (81 games). Johnston is on a four-game, six-point scoring streak. It includes four goals and two assists (13 shots). He's the top scorer from the 2021 Entry Draft. Johnston has 134 goals, 129 assists (263 points) in 327 games. Not bad for the 23rd overall pick.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Goal, assist in win

    Johnston recorded a goal, an assist, four PIM, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Wild.

    Johnston built off the two-goal performance he had against the Flames on Tuesday with another strong showing here, breaking the deadlock for Dallas and later assisting on Mikko Rantanen's equalizer in the third period. Johnston has recorded two-point performances in three of his last five games and is up to 21 points (12 goals, nine assists) in 20 outings since the beginning of March.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Wins game for Dallas in OT

    Johnston scored two goals, including one on the power play, while adding five shots, two hits, a blocked shot and an even rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

    Johnston scored in the third period when the Stars were down 3-1 and scored the game-winner in overtime on a Dallas power play. He has been the league's top power-play sniper in 2025-26, netting 26 of his 43 tallies with the man advantage. The 22-year-old forward has established career-best marks in both goals (43) and assists (39) this season.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: NHL's best power-play sniper

    Johnston had a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Boston.

    Johnston's goal came on the power play at 19:02 of the third period to pull the Stars to within 5-3, but it was too little, too late. The goal was Johnston's 41st of the season, which moves him into sole possession of the team lead in that category. He has 80 points (75 games) for the first time in his career and sits second behind Jason Robertson on the Stars' scoring list. Perhaps most impressively, Johnston sits at the top of the NHL in power-play goals. He has 25, and the next closest player (Pavel Dorofeyev) has 18.
