Stephenson had an assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Stephenson set up Mark Stone for the Golden Knights' go-ahead goal in the third period, which stood as the game-winner. The 26-year-old Stephenson is functioning as a top-line center, although it's unlikely he'll produce offensively in line with that role. He's a solid depth option in deeper formats given his usage with wingers Stone and Max Pacioretty at even strength.

Stephenson penned a four-year, $11 million contract with Vegas on Wednesday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stephenson played in 41 games for the Golden Knights this season after beating acquired from Washington in December. The 25-year-old winger set career highs in goals (eight) and assists (14) in those appearances, which doesn't even account for the three goals and one helper he registered in 24 contests with the Caps. Heading into next season, Stephenson should slot into the third-line center role but could challenge for more responsibilities, including time with the No. 2 power-play unit.

Stephenson scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Stephenson opened the scoring at 8:14 of the first period, but the Golden Knights watched their lead slip away in the third period. It was the third tally of the postseason for the 26-year-old, who added a pair of assists and 35 hits in 20 outings.

Stephenson scored a goal and added four PIM in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canucks in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Stephenson's pair of minor penalties both led to power-play goals for the Canucks, but he partially redeemed himself with his first-period tally. The 26-year-old forward skated 15:31 in the contest, so head coach Pete DeBoer didn't seem to punish him for his reckless play. Stephenson is up to two goals, an assist and 20 hits through 12 playoff games.

Stephenson had an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Canucks in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
The assist snapped a seven-game point drought for Stephenson, who last got on the scoresheet with a goal versus the Stars on Aug. 3. The 26-year-old has added 16 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in nine playoff outings. He skated on the fourth line Sunday, likely a result of his lack of scoring production.

Stephenson scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-3 round-robin victory over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Stephenson buried a snap shot from the high slot just 64 seconds in on Vegas' first shot of the game. Acquired during the regular season from Washington, the 26-year-old Stephenson collected eight goals and 22 points in 41 regular-season games for the Golden Knights. He's a role player with minimal fantasy upside.

According to general manager Kelly McCrimmon, Stephenson (undisclosed) will be available to play if and when the NHL resumes its season, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stephenson missed Vegas' last game prior to the NHL's suspension of play, but he's had plenty of time to recover over the past two-plus months. The former Capital, who's picked up 11 goals and 26 points this campaign, will return to a middle-six role if and when the NHL resumes its season.

EDGE Analysis
Stephenson was initially expected to be reevaluated after the five-game road trip came to its conclusion, but he has apparently made some progress since Monday and could make it back for one or both of the remaining two contests. Clarification on his status should arrive on game day.

Stephenson wasn't available for Monday's game in Edmonton and will be re-evaluated "when the team returns to Vegas," David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stephenson was a late scratch Monday but it appears that he'll be held out of the next two games as well; the Golden Knights' next home contest is March 17 against Dallas. The 25-year-old forward has eight goals and 22 points in 41 games with Vegas this season.
