EDGE Analysis
Stastny found the back of the net midway through the first period to reduce the Panthers' lead to 2-1. The marker snapped his eight-game scoring drought. Carolina was eliminated from the playoffs with this loss, and Stastny's ended the postseason with four goals and four points in 15 appearances.

Stastny scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 2-1 overtime victory over the Islanders in Game 6 of the Hurricanes' first-round series.
EDGE Analysis
After a giveaway by the Isles in their own end, Stastny got the puck deep in the corner and fired it quickly toward the front of the net, where it caromed in off Ilya Sorokin's pad. The 37-year-old forward picked up three goals in six games during the first round, including one in each of the last two contests, but his bottom-six role will make it tough for Stastny to maintain that momentum in the second round.

Stastny scored a goal on his lone shot in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Stastny got the Hurricanes on the board midway through the second period, deflecting a Jalen Chatfield shot to cut the deficit to 2-1. It's the second goal of the series for Stastny while centering Carolina's fourth line. The 37-year-old veteran posted nine goals and 22 points in 73 regular-season contests.

Stastny found the back of the net in Carolina's 4-3 overtime victory over the Islanders in Game 2 on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Stastny isn't the offensive force that he once was. While he surpassed the 70-point milestone in three of his first four campaigns, the 37-year-old finished the 2022-23 regular season with nine goals and 22 points in 73 contests. He can still chip in from time to time though, as Stastny did early in the first period to give the Hurricanes a 1-0 edge. It was his 27th goal and 70th point in 105 career NHL playoff games.

Stastny had a goal and an assist in a 3-0 win over the Canadiens on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He deflected Brent Burns' point shot past Sam Montembeault stick side at the mid-point of the second to push the Canes up 2-0. Stastny snapped a six-game point drought Saturday. The 37-year-old is in the twilight of his career -- he has just nine goals and 21 points in 68 games, and sees limited ice time (10-12 minutes). Stastny won't help fantasy players in postseason formats, but his experience will be invaluable as the Canes make a run for the Cup.

Stastny did not suit up for Friday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs, marking the second straight game he's served as a healthy scratch.
EDGE Analysis
Stastny had just two points in his last 10 games prior to the benching, and he had been skating on the Canes' fourth line. He'll likely make his way back into the lineup at some point, but at 36 years old, he's clearly not the player he once was, and his fantasy value is now about as close to zero as it can get.

Stastny found the back of the net in Carolina's 6-1 victory over Arizona on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Stastny opened the scoring early in the first period. It was his eighth goal and 19th point in 59 games this season. Stastny was held off the scoresheet over his previous four contests. The 37-year-old is on pace to finish well below his 2021-22 totals of 21 goals and 45 points in 71 games.

Stastny scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-1 win against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Stastny's marker, which came at 12:05 of the second period, proved to be the game-winner. He has four goals and 15 points in 48 contests this season. Stastny was scoreless in his previous four contests. He also entered the game averaging just 12:45 of ice time this season and unless his role grows, it's unlikely that Stastny will make regular offensive contributions.

Stastny contributed a goal in a 5-3 loss to Nashville on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Stastny opened the scoring with a power-play marker at 7:41 of the first period. He has two goals and 12 points in 38 contests this season. Stastny entered the game averaging just 12:36 of ice time this season, and 37-year-old isn't likely to be a regular offensive contributor unless his role with the team grows. He's hot at the moment though, recording a goal and five points in his last six contests.
