Stankoven provided an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Stankoven has been limited to four assists over 17 contests since the start of December. The 21-year-old has somewhat gotten lost in the shuffle, as the Stars' top six started to click in January with Stankoven filling a third-line role. He has 19 points, 103 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-1 rating over 38 appearances. It's part of the price of being a rookie on a contending team -- Stankoven will play in whatever spot most benefits the team's results even if it's not ideal for his individual production.

Stankoven logged an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Stankoven was listed on the fourth line but played 14:57 of ice time, consistent with middle-six usage. The 21-year-old forward has fallen flat in December with just three assists over 12 appearances this month. Overall, he's at 18 points, 89 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-1 rating through 33 games. The Stars have opted to go with a veteran top six for a while, so Stankoven will have to perform well to earn his way back into a larger role on a regular basis.

Stankoven notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Stankoven ended a five-game slump with the helper. The 21-year-old forward continues to get a look on the second line with Tyler Seguin (hip) likely out for the remainder of the regular season. Stankoven has yet to really mesh with Matt Duchene and Mason Marchment, and the latter left Wednesday's game with an undisclosed injury. Stankoven is at 17 points, 78 shots on net, 20 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 29 outings. His recent slump has seen him drift back to fifth in the rookie scoring race.

Stankoven logged an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Stankoven has received a chance to join Matt Duchene and Mason Marchment on the second line following the news Tyler Seguin (hip) will be out for at least four months. Stankoven's helper came on a Marchment goal in the first period. Stankoven has just two assists over his last eight outings, putting him at 16 points, 63 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-3 rating through 23 appearances. He's talented enough to handle top-six minutes, but that second-line spot will likely come down to whichever forward has the most chemistry with the established members of the line.

Stankoven (lower body) will return to action for Monday's game against Utah, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stankoven has missed the last two games due to his lower-body injury, but he'll be back on the ice in the second half of a back-to-back set Monday. Over 21 appearances this season, he's logged four goals, 15 points, 15 hits and seven blocked shots while averaging 15:19 of ice time.

Stankoven (lower body) will not be available against the Jets on Sunday, radio host Michael Dixon reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stankoven will miss Friday's tilt against Colorado because of an undisclosed injury, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

EDGE Analysis

Stankoven's injury is believed to be minor, so he might still be an option for Sunday's game versus Winnipeg. He has four goals and 15 points in 21 appearances in 2024-25. Stankoven's absence leaves Dallas with 11 forwards who are healthy, though Roope Hintz (undisclosed) might be able to return Friday after missing Wednesday's 6-2 loss to Chicago. Hintz's return would bring the Stars up to 12 healthy forwards, but if he can't play, then Dallas would presumably dress seven blueliners, including Alex Petrovic, who was recalled from AHL Texas on Friday.

Stankoven recorded a goal and took six shots in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Stankoven is beginning to heat up and has found the back of the net in three of his last four appearances. The promising 21-year-old playmaker has already matched his contributions from the 2023-24 regular season, where he recorded 14 points in 12 games, as he has 14 points (four goals, 10 helpers) in only 15 contests in his second year in the league. One of the top prospects in the Stars' organization, Stankoven continues to show he belongs in a regular role at the NHL level with each passing game.

Stankoven scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 7-1 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Stankoven has two goals and two assists over five contests in November. The 21-year-old has yet to be held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests, earning three goals, 10 assists, 40 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 14 appearances. Stankoven has found success both on the first line and the third line while remaining part of the power-play mix, so he should keep putting up strong scoring numbers.

Stankoven scored an empty-net goal on six shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Stankoven earned his third multi-point effort of the campaign in this contest. The 21-year-old was once again on the third line, but he's been productive despite frequently moving around the lineup. He's up to two goals, 10 helpers, 33 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 12 appearances, and that's with a 6.1 shooting percentage that is likely well below his talent level.
