Stephenson posted two helpers in 19:52 of ice time Sunday in a 7-5 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson registered the primary assist on Oliver Bjorkstrand's power-play marker in the second period, and he added the secondary helper on Vince Dunn's goal in the final frame to give Seattle a 5-3 lead. Stephenson has been productive as a playmaker lately with five helpers over his last five games, but he's only scored once since Oct. 19. The left-shot center has only put 25 shots on goal through 28 games, so he'll be hard-pressed to match the 16 goals he's deposited in each of the last two seasons. Overall, the 30-year-old Stephenson is at two goals, 17 assists and a minus-10 rating.

Stephenson managed a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson helped out on Oliver Bjorkstrand's tally in the first period. The 30-year-old Stephenson has gotten on the scoresheet in three of his last seven outings, accumulating a goal and six helpers (three on the power play) in that span. For the season, the center is up to 17 points (nine on the power play), 24 shots on net and a minus-8 rating over 26 appearances. Stephenson's extreme pass-first tendencies hurt his fantasy value a bit, but he could have a career year with the man advantage anyway.

Stephenson will return to the lineup on the road Tuesday against the Hurricanes, according to Julian Gaudio of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson missed his first game of the season Saturday due to an illness. The left-shot center will slot in on the top line and No. 2 power-play unit. Andre Burakovsky and Daniel Sprong will be the healthy scratches among Seattle's forward group Tuesday.

Stephenson (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Sharks due to an illness, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson had three points in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Sharks, but he's apparently ended up under the weather before the rematch. The 30-year-old center will be replaced in the lineup by Mitchell Stephens, while Shane Wright could see a larger role. Stephenson's next chance to play is Tuesday against the Hurricanes.

Stephenson had a goal and two assists in an 8-5 loss to the Sharks on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson hasn't performed like the Kraken thought he would when they inked his 7-year, $43,750,000 contract this offseason. But with the three points Friday, he has 16 points, including 14 assists, in 24 games. That's reasonable production until you look under the hood and discover that all of those points came in eight games, including three contests that account for 10 of those points. Why does this matter? Stephenson isn't fantasy worthy without some significant consistency -- not at center at least.

Stephenson recorded three assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

The Kraken's second line carried the scoring, with Stephenson's three assists leading the way. He set up goals by Daniel Sprong and Brandon Montour before drawing a secondary helper on Yanni Gourde's empty-netter. This was the third time Stephenson has earned multiple assists in a game. He's settled into a playmaking role, though he's assembled just one point streak this season. The 30-year-old center has a goal, 12 helpers, 20 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 20 outings, and fantasy managers likely want to see more consistency on a game-to-game basis.

Stephenson posted a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson has six assists over his last eight games, and five of those helpers have come with the man advantage. That's not bad production, but he's not generating many chances for himself or offering consistent even-strength offense yet. The 30-year-old center is up to 10 points (six on the power play), 16 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 17 outings this season while playing in a top-six role.

Stephenson recorded a power-play assist and added two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson has five helpers over his last eight games, though four of them came in the Kraken's 8-2 win over the Canadiens on Oct. 29. The 30-year-old center remains a key part of the team's top six, but he's had trouble making an impact with Seattle's lack of scoring recently. Overall, Stephenson is up to nine points (five on the power play), nine shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 14 contests.

Stephenson dished four assists, including three on the power play, in Tuesday's 8-2 win over Montreal. He added one shot and one hit while winning 14 of 23 faceoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson was ubiquitous for the Kraken, logging assists in all three periods. In this one game, he matched the number of points accumulated in his first nine outings. Stephenson has one goal, seven assists, four power-play points, five shots, three hits, one block and two PIM over 10 contests.

Stephenson scored a power-play goal and won 18 of 26 faceoffs in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson saw 23:28 of ice time in the contest, and he continues to look like one of the Kraken's most trusted forwards. He started slowly on offense, but he now has four points over his last three outings, including his first goal of the season in this game. The 30-year-old has added just three shots on net, a minus-1 rating, one hit and no blocked shots. Stephenson sees time in all situations, but if he can't bring back a bit of physical play, his fantasy value will be tied solely to his offense while playing for a team that tends to spread out the scoring.
