Stepan logged an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

While his season totals (22 points in 41 games) don't quite suggest he's back on a point-per-game pace, playing against his hometown rival Minnesota, Stepan collects his sixth assist and seventh point in the last eight contests. Look for this pace to continue on Saturday as the 25-year-old veteran center usually finds the scorer's sheet (25 points in 27 career games) against Philadelphia.
