EDGE Analysis

Stephenson assisted on Max Pacioretty's game-winning goal in the second period. The 27-year-old Stephenson also helped out on a Zach Whitecloud tally. In the seven-game first-round series, Stephenson amassed five helpers, eight hots on net and a plus-5 rating in a top-line role. The return of Max Pacioretty (undisclosed) should boost the Golden Knights' offense throughout the lineup. Stephenson has centered Pacioretty and Mark Stone for much of the season.
