Stenlund scored a shorthanded goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Stenlund snapped an 11-game point drought with his first-period tally, answering Jordan Eberle's opening goal. During his slump, Stenlund had just five shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating. The 29-year-old is up to four goals, 11 points (two shorthanded), 41 shots on net, 39 blocks, 25 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 48 appearances, mainly in a bottom-six role.

Stenlund (illness) will be back in the lineup versus the Blues on Friday, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Stenlund's return from an illness means Kailer Yamamoto figures to be headed back up to the press box as a healthy scratch. In his 43 appearances this year, the 29-year-old Stenlund has generated three goals and seven helpers, well off his 2024-25 pace in which he racked up 28 points in 82 regular-season tilts.

Stenlund (illness) won't play Wednesday versus the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Stenlund was reportedly a game-time decision, and now we know why. He'll miss his first game of the season, but given that he's dealing with an illness, he shouldn't be sidelined for an extended period of time. His next chance to play is Friday versus the Blues.

Stenlund (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup against Ottawa, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stenlund hasn't missed a game this season, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up against the Senators. He didn't participate in Wednesday's morning skate, and Kailer Yamamoto will likely return to the lineup if Stenlund is unavailable.

Stenlund scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Stenlund provided the Mammoth's last goal while getting a late-game shift with Clayton Keller, who set him up. That's been a wrinkle in Utah's plan lately -- Stenlund remains listed on the fourth line, but he's seen at least 15 minutes of ice time in five of his last 11 games, most often in close games or when the Mammoth are leading. The veteran defensive center has three goals, 10 points, 35 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 22 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 36 appearances. He's well behind the pace that saw him earn 14 goals and 28 points in all 82 contests last year, but he still plays an important on-ice role.

Stenlund notched three assists and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Stenlund has a pair of multi-point efforts over his last five outings, totaling a goal and four assists in that span. The center is up to two goals, seven helpers, 30 shots on net, 22 hits, 24 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 33 appearances. While he remains listed on the fourth line, he's trusted to help protect leads and play a shutdown role, so he'll often see far more ice time than his linemates.

Stenlund scored a goal on three shots, dished a shorthanded assist, added four PIM and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

This was Stenlund's first multi-point effort this season. He had picked up just one helper over his previous 13 appearances. The 29-year-old center is a fixture in the Mammoth's bottom six, which will limit his scoring production. He's now at six points, 27 shots on net, 22 hits, 20 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 29 contests this season.

Stenlund logged an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Stenlund ended an eight-game point drought with the helper. His lack of offense shouldn't come as a surprise, as the 29-year-old has regularly played a fourth-line role this season, though he is averaging just under 15 minutes of ice time per game. Overall, Stenlund has four points, 23 shots on net, 18 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 24 appearances.

Stenlund scored an empty-net goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Stenlund was able to add some insurance for the Mammoth with a banked-in shot from his own zone to the empty net. It was the 29-year-old's first point in four appearances this season. He's filled a bottom-six role with minimal power-play time so far, which explains the lack of offense. Stenlund has added five shots on net, four blocks and an even plus-minus rating. Barring a promotion to a scoring line, he's unlikely to help most fantasy managers.

Stenlund (undisclosed) will play in Thursday's game versus the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Stenlund was in need of further evaluation after leaving practice Tuesday, but he has apparently checked out fine. He'll center the Mammoth's third line for the season opener, but he could be bumped down to the fourth line once Barrett Hayton (undisclosed) is healthy again.
