Stephenson produced an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson has three helpers over his last two games after beginning his Kraken year with no points over three contests. The 30-year-old found the team's other big free-agent signing, Brandon Montour, for Seattle's first goal Thursday. Stephenson has three assists, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating through five contests. Over time, he should be a factor on the power play while providing steady two-way play and a pass-first mentality down the middle.

Stephenson produced two assists in Tuesday's 7-3 victory against Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson registered his first two points with his new club after being held off the scoresheet for the first three games of the season. The 30-year-old registered the primary assist on Oliver Bjorkstrand's first-period tally before adding a secondary helper on Jaden Schwartz's third-period goal, which stood as the game-winner. Stephenson is filling a third-line role and contributing on special teams after signing a seven-year deal with Seattle in July.

Stephenson secured a seven-year, $43.75 million contract with Seattle on Monday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson is coming off a relatively disappointing year, as he missed out on a third straight 60-point campaign. The 30-year-old center managed to rack up 16 goals and 35 assists, including 13 power-play points, in 75 regular-season contests for the Golden Knights. The Kraken have plenty of center depth in the top six with Matty Beniers and Jared McCann, not to mention youngster Shane Wright, so Stephenson or someone else will have move to the wing. That shouldn't prevent him from pushing for 20 goals and 60 points this season while playing in a top-six role in 2024-25.

Stephenson recorded an assist, two hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson moved to center on the second line Saturday after previously playing on the wing. The move didn't pay off for Vegas, but Stephenson was able to chip in the lone helper on Brayden McNabb's second-period tally. That assist was Stephenson's first point in three playoff games to go with four shots on net, seven hits, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He should continue to fill a middle-six role.

Stephenson (undisclosed) will return to practice Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson missed Vegas' final two games of the regular season, but it appears he'll be good to go prior to Monday's playoff opener against the Stars. The 29-year-old Stephenson had 16 goals and 51 points in 75 games with the Knights this year.

Stephenson (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup versus Anaheim on Thursday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson will be out of the lineup for the second straight match and the third time in the Knights' last five outings. While the 29-year-old center failed to reach the 60-point threshold during the regular season, he did still put up 16 goals and 35 helpers, including 13 power-play points.

Stephenson won't be in the lineup versus Chicago on Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson is considered day-to-day, so he could still be an option for the season finale against Anaheim on Thursday or, more importantly, Game 1 of the playoffs. In his previous 11 contests, the 29-year-old center managed just two goals while chipping in eight helpers, including four power-play points. Without Stephenson in the lineup, Paul Cotter looks set to take on a second-line role.

Stephenson distributed four assists and went plus-2 in Friday's 7-2 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson missed Wednesday's game to attend the birth of his child, and he had a fantastic performance in his return to action. Two of Stephenson's four assists came on the power play. The 29-year-old is up to 16 goals, 35 helpers, 13 power-play points, 97 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 74 contests overall. Stephenson and Tomas Hertl figure to be relatively interchangeable between left wing and center on the second line going forward.

Stephenson (personal) rejoined the team ahead of Friday's matchup with Minnesota, Sin Bin Vegas reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson returns to the lineup after missing one game following the birth of his child. The 29-year-old natural center has just one goal and four shots over his last eight outings, though he has chipped in four helpers over that stretch. Stephenson figures to slot into a second-line role, moving over to the wing to make way for Tomas Hertl.

Stephenson (personal) isn't expected to play Wednesday versus Edmonton, according to Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson has 16 goals and 47 points in 73 appearances in 2023-24. Brendan Brisson, who was recalled from AHL Henderson on Tuesday, is likely to draw into the lineup due to Stephenson's absence.
