Stephenson scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, doled out five hits and added two blocked shots in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson scored in the third period and assisted on a William Carrier goal three minutes later. The 27-year-old Stephenson continues to produce on offense with four goals, five helpers, 12 shots on net and a plus-3 rating in eight contests. He's added 12 hits, eight blocks and two PIM -- while not known for physical play, he's holding his own in that department in 2021-22.

Stephenson recorded an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson was credited with the secondary helper on Jonathan Marchessault's game-tying goal in the third period. The 27-year-old Stephenson has maintained a point-per-game pace with three goals and four helpers in seven outings despite the absence of his usual linemates Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone to lower-body injuries. Stephenson can't keep shooting 30 percent all year, but his role in the top-six is no longer in question as he remains a steady source of offense in less-than-ideal circumstances.

Stephenson recorded a goal and an assist with two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old opened the scoring just two minutes into the game, sending the puck to the point before heading to the net to deposit Brayden McNabb's rebound. Stephenson also drew an assist on Keegan Kolesar's empty-net goal in the final minute of the third period. Stephenson has enjoyed a productive start to the 2021-22 campaign, registering three goals and three assists in his first six games.

Stephenson recorded an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson earned the secondary helper on Nicolas Hague's third-period tally. That assist gave Stephenson four points in as many games this year. He's added six shots on net, five hits and six blocked shots in a top-six role, but scoring chances are likely to be sparse with both of his usual wingers, Max Pacioretty (lower body) and Mark Stone (lower body) sidelined.

Stephenson scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson's third-period goal was little more than consolation in response to six straight tallies from the Kings. The 27-year-old has three points, three shots on net and a plus-2 rating through two contests. A troubling sign for Stephenson's production was the departure of Mark Stone with an apparent lower-body injury in the second period. Should Stone miss time, Stephenson's scoring potential would likely take a sizable hit.

Stephenson scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson sparked a passing play leading to the first of Max Pacioretty's two tallies in the contest. In the third period, Stephenson deflected a Mark Stone pass off his skate for the game-winning tally, which was upheld after video review. It's a fantastic start to the season for the Golden Knights' top line, and that's great news for Stephenson's fantasy managers. He put up 35 points in 51 games last year in a top-line role, and it looks like he'll begin the year in the same spot. He's also maintained a shooting percentage north of 13 in each of his last four campaigns -- he's selective, but the 27-year-old should get good chances with star wingers to play with.

Stephenson (upper body) went minus-1 and won only five of 15 faceoffs in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson's return from a three-game absence didn't provide the expected spark to the Golden Knights' unusually quiet top six. The 27-year-old remains at six helpers with a plus-8 rating, 15 shots on net, 20 hits and 12 blocked shots through 15 playoff games. He saw 19:01 of ice time Tuesday, so he should be considered fully healthy heading in Thursday's must-win Game 6.

Stephenson (upper body) took line rushes in warmups and is expected to play in Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Canadiens, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson has missed three games with the injury. Based on the line rushes, the 27-year-old is expected to return to his usual top-line role between Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone, while Alex Tuch will drop back into a third-line assignment.

Stephenson (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's Game 5 clash with Montreal, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

If cleared to play, Stephenson will be back in the lineup following a three-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 27-year-old center managed just one assist in his previous seven contests and remains bogged down in a 16-game goal drought dating back to May 8 versus the Blues. Despite his slump, Stephenson was slotting into a first-line role with Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone but may be hard-pressed to unseat Alex Tuch from that spot Tuesday, if he's even able to play at all.

Stephenson (upper body) will not be in Sunday's Game 4 lineup against Montreal, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sunday will be Stephenson's third straight absence after suffering an upper-body injury. The 27-year-old tallied an assist in his lone appearance this series. He'll be questionable for Game 5 on Tuesday.
