Stepan has recorded five goals, 14 assists and five power-play points through his past 25 games.
EDGE Analysis
There hasn't been a lot to be excited about in Arizona this season, and while that definitely includes Stepan's fantasy production, he's still turning in another solid campaign. The veteran is locked into a top scoring role, and he's also posted a plus-1 rating during the noted 25-game stretch. Additionally, the Coyotes are beginning to be more competitive of late with an active 6-2-1 record, so there's potential for Stepan to show improvement over the final weeks of the season.

Stepan picked up a goal and a power-play helper in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
Stepan came in with just one goal since Dec. 23, so owners still hanging onto the veteran center got a pleasant surprise with this strong performance. After finishing with at least a plus-5 rating in each of his seven campaigns with the Rangers, Stepan's first year in the desert has produced a dreadful minus-22 mark, including his even finish here. He did tie for the team lead with four shots, though.

Stepan recorded an assist and five shots during Thursday's 2-1 loss to Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran has quietly recorded three goals and seven assists through his past 13 games to improve to a respectable 30 points for the campaign. Stepan has been relatively consistent this season, as outside of a nine-game point drought early in the season, he's been a reliable secondary contributor for fantasy owners. Just note that his upside is capped with the low-scoring Coyotes.

Stepan notched an assist Sunday against Anaheim, giving him at least a point in three of his past four games.
EDGE Analysis
Stepan's assist came on Clayton Keller's power-play goal, and perhaps with a little more luck can reach the 50-point plateau for the fifth straight season. Despite the helper, Stepan won just 28 percent of his faceoffs, which just isn't good enough as the team's No. 1 center. Stepan has been a model of consistency throughout his career and deserves at least a bench spot in standard fantasy leagues.

Stepan had both goals for his team in a 6-2 defeat to Colorado on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Stepan was the only Arizona player to have a game that was useful to his fantasy owners, and he even managed to avoid coming out on the negative side of the ledger in plus-minus by putting up a plus-1. His team's struggles limit his effectiveness, but he's still a useful player in most fantasy leagues.

Stepan scored a goal and logged 20:48 of ice time (3:47 with the man advantage) during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Florida.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran center has been relatively productive dating back to mid-November with four goals, 13 points and 49 shots through his past 18 games. However, like most of his teammates, Stepan's minus-17 rating for the campaign has been a huge hit to his fantasy value in settings including the category. Additionally, he'll have to pick up his scoring pace to record 50 points for a fifth consecutive season.

Stepan netted his fourth goal of the season and added an assist in Saturday's win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
After Stepan followed up a six-game point streak with two pointless efforts, the first-line center got back on track in a big way Saturday. Stepan has been a very reliable offensive producer and is now up to four goals and 17 points in 29 contests. His consistent scoring makes him worth owning in the majority of fantasy settings.

Stepan dished out a pair of assists in Saturday's loss to Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
The Coyotes took another loss, but Stepan assisted on both goals and extended his point streak to six games. Known for usually being consistent, Stepan recently went through a miserable stretch where he went nine straight games without getting on the scoresheet. The 27-year-old has a respectable three goals and 15 points in 26 contests and appears to be heating up. Based on his offensive capabilities and scoring history, the top-line center is definitely worth looking at right now if he's available.

Stepan has just two goals and three assists at even strength through 19 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Stepan has been handed the top-line job between Clayton Keller and Max Domi, but he hasn't been able to cash in on playing with the talented youngsters. In fact, of the 24 forwards with at least 250 minutes at five-on-five in the league, Stepan's 0.87 points per 60 minutes rank 24th. However, it's interesting to note that Keller ranks sixth highest with a 2.61 mark, so perhaps there has been some tough luck in points column for Stepan. Regardless, it's hard to imagine the established veteran not beginning to deliver better offensive results over the coming weeks.

Stepan failed to register a point for the fourth consecutive game during Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Not only is the veteran center playing top offensive minutes (19:59 of ice time with 3:38 on the power play during the point drought), but he's also being flanked by the best two wingers Arizona has in Clayton Keller and Max Domi. It's a concerning slump, and Stepan's fantasy value is trending in the wrong direction.
