NHL Power Rankings: Which Metro Teams Are Poised for a Shocking Leap This Season?
2. Dallas Stars, 18-5-5
Last week: 2
Sean: 3
Dom: 2
Last season, his third in the NHL, was a fine one for Wyatt Johnston. In an expanded role, he had more points than ever before (71), still looking the part of a potential franchise center at 21 years old. His play-driving numbers dipped a bit, though, and he struggled in the postseason, so there was still work to be done.
He’s been up to the task thus far; though his production at five-on-five is down (2.13 to 1.74 points per 60), he’s emerged as a true power-play weapon with a league-leading 10 goals and looks like a long-term partner for Mikko Rantanen.
