EDGE Analysis

Head coach Bruce Cassidy mixed up his lines in the third period, with Stephenson moving onto the wing with Jack Eichel and Mark Stone. Those two forwards assisted on Stephenson's tally, which was his second in as many games. It's unclear if that'll be a move that sticks or if it was just in place as the Golden Knights tried to make a comeback in this contest. The 28-year-old has two goals, three assists, 10 shots on net, six hits and a plus-3 rating through six outings.

Stephenson's tally midway through the first period ended up as the game-winner. It was also his first goal of any kind in five games this year, to go with three assists, seven shots on net and a plus-2 rating. The 28-year-old looks like the Golden Knights' preferred second-line center for now, though he could also move to the wing if head coach Bruce Cassidy really mixes things up.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson set up goals by Jack Eichel and Mark Stone in this contest. It's a positive sign to see Stephenson make an impact early this year after his breakout campaign (21 goals, 43 assists) last season. The 28-year-old has established himself as a key two-way forward with playmaking tendencies for the Golden Knights. He may move around the lineup throughout the year, but he's versatile and is off to a good start to prove last season wasn't a fluke.

Stephenson posted 21 goals, 43 assists and 125 shots on net in 79 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson enjoyed relatively good health compared to many of his teammates, ranking second on the team in games played behind Alex Pietrangelo. His 64 points also ranked second for Vegas, trailing Jonathan Marchessault (66). Stephenson's versatility as a center or a wing on any of the top three lines should continue to be a boost for the Golden Knights as they look to bounce back from missing the playoffs for the first time. His 16.8 shooting percentage would usually be a concern, but it's similar to what he's posted over the last three years as a whole -- Stephenson is selective and often opts to pass first, so his scoring production will likely depend more noticeably on his linemates in 2022-23.
