25 Paul Stastny C

Stastny was traded to the Jets from the Golden Knights on Friday in exchange for Carl Dahlstrom and a 2022 fourth-round pick, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

Stastny will make his return to Winnipeg following a two-year stint in Vegas. When he last played for the Jets, the 34-year-old veteran was a deadline acquisition and logged 13 points in 19 regular-season contests. While ultimately coming up short, Stastny's six goals and nine helpers in the 2018 NHL Playoffs helped the organization make a deep run. With the second-line center position solidified, Winnipeg will be free to move Blake Wheeler back to the wing on the first line. Stastny should also see time with the man advantage and figures to be a top-end fantasy target next season.

Stastny had an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 5.

Stastny corralled a rebound from a Tyler Seguin shot and sent Reilly Smith the other way on a near-breakaway. Smith converted to give Stastny points in consecutive contests. In 18 playoff games, Stastny registered three goals, six assists and 45 shots.

Stastny had a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Stars in Game 4.

One of Stastny's 11 faceoff wins (in 14 tries) went back to Nate Schmidt, who set up Alec Martinez for the tally. In his last five games, Stastny has two goals and three helpers. The center is at three tallies, five assists, 42 shots and a plus-1 rating through 17 playoff outings.

Stastny registered a goal and an assist with two shots and two hits in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Dallas in Game 2. He also won nine of 14 faceoffs (64.3 percent).

Stastny opened the scoring in the game's first five minutes with a tap-in on the doorstep, converting a perfect feed from Max Pacioretty. He also drew a secondary assist on William Karlsson's power-play goal just under four minutes later. The handy veteran has three goals and four assists in 15 playoff games.

Stastny had a goal and an assist in Friday's 3-0 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

Both of Stastny's points came on empty-net goals -- he set up Alex Tuch at 17:54 of the third period and then scored one of his own two minutes later. Stastny managed three points in seven games against the Canucks, but he's largely been a non-factor on the scoresheet in the playoffs. The 34-year-old has five points, 32 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 13 appearances this postseason.

Stastny picked up a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 2.

Stastny had a hand in Max Pacioretty's third-period goal. It's been a relatively quiet postseason for Stastny, who now has a goal and two helpers in eight outings. He missed two games with an injury during Vegas' first-round series against the Blackhawks.

Stastny (undisclosed) went minus-2 with two shots in 15:56 during Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks in Game 5.

Stastny wasn't able to get on the scoresheet after missing two contests with the injury. The Golden Knights are set for some time off after ousting the Blackhawks with a 4-1 series win -- the extra rest could help Stastny fully recover prior to the start of the second round.

Stastny (undisclosed) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's Game 5, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Per Granger, Stastny appears set to return in a second-line role alongside Jonathan Marchessault and Reilly Smith. Patrick Brown is expected to exit the lineup to make way for Stastny. The 34-year-old Stastny has three points in five playoff games so far.

Stastny (undisclosed) will not suit up for Sunday's Game 4 against the Blackhawks, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

Stastny isn't dealing with anything serious, but apparently the nagging injury has caused him to miss another game. In his last appearance, he tallied a goal and two points during a Game 2 victory.

Stastny (undisclosed) could return for Sunday's Game 4 versus the Blackhawks, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Per Granger, head coach Pete DeBoer said Stastny's injury is not serious, and the center will be evaluated prior to Sunday's contest. While it's encouraging that Stastny could be available, the Golden Knights have a 3-0 series lead over the Blackhawks and likely don't need to rush the 34-year-old back into action. An update on his status should come before the 6:30 p.m. ET puck drop.

Stastny was deemed unfit to play for Saturday's Game 3 against the Blackhawks.

Stastny has been stellar against the Blackhawks with a goal and an assist through the first two games. It's still unclear what's holding him back. For the time being, Chandler Stephenson and William Karlsson will center the top-two lines, respectively.

Stastny scored a goal and aded an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks on Thursday night in Game 2 of the Western Conference First Round.

He picked a good time to nab his first points since play resumed. Stastny scored from the slot in the first and set up the winner in OT. The pass was a beauty -- he lured all the Hawks toward him on the wall and then threaded a pass to a wide-open Reilly Smith in the slot. Stastny's goal was his 23rd career postseason score.

Despite playing all 71 games for the Golden Knights this season, Stastny only ranks seventh on the team in points with 17 goals and 21 assists.

Stastny's ice-time average has dropped by close to a minute per game compared to last season (18:06 vs. 17:08), but the good news is that he's back to a double-digit output on the man advantage for the first time in four years. Stastny has five power-play goals and five power-play helpers thanks in large part to his role on the first unit. The veteran pivot has extensive playoff experience and remains a decent low-end fantasy option should the 2019-20 campaign ultimately resume.

Stastny posted an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

Stastny has managed a goal and five helpers in his last six contests. The 34-year-old center has 37 points, 127 shots and a plus-6 rating in 66 appearances this year. He's worth a look as a depth scoring option, and his 55.2 percent success rate on faceoffs can make him valuable in formats that use that category.

Stastny managed an assist, three shots on goal, two PIM and two hits in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Oilers.

Stastny has had a productive February, with two goals and seven helpers through 12 contests. The 34-year-old is up to 36 points, 125 shots, 62 hits and a plus-4 rating through 65 games this season. As long as he's in a top-six role, Stastny can produce enough offense to interest fantasy owners.

Stastny posted two assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.

Stastny assisted on both of Reilly Smith's third-period tallies. During a three-game point streak, Stastny has a goal and three helpers. He's racked up 35 points (17 goals, 18 helpers), 121 shots, 59 hits and a plus-4 rating through 63 contests. Stastny has done moderately well centering Jonathan Marchessault and Smith -- expect that trio to remain as the second line for most, if not all, of the rest of the season.

Stastny potted a goal on four shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

Stastny struck at 6:45 of the second period to give the Golden Knights a 2-1 lead. The 34-year-old has 17 tallies, 33 points, 120 shots and 59 hits through 62 games this year. He's likely to remain in a top-six role, but he's more of a supporting scorer than a leading producer.

Stastny collected an assist in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

Stastny has filled in admirably on the top line while William Karlsson's been out with an upper-body injury. In eight games since Karlsson got hurt, Stastny has 10 points and a plus-7 rating. The Quebec native is up to 31 points, 107 shots and 55 hits through 57 contests overall and could provide solid value in DFS while seeing big minutes.

Stastny scored a goal on his lone shot of the game and added a pair of hits in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

Stastny has been on a productive run of late, having scored in four of his last six games. He's done that on only 10 shots so buyer beware if you're considering him as a waiver wire pickup. Regardless, Stastny has provided the Golden Knights with 16 goals and 28 points in 55 games and has a very real shot at his first 20-goal season since 2013-14 with Colorado.

Stastny (face) will be in the lineup against Boston on Tuesday, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

Stastny will suit up after taking a puck to the face versus the Habs on Saturday. Prior to getting hurt, the center notched a goal and an assist for a second straight multi-point game. Even once William Karlsson (upper body) returns to the lineup, the 33-year-old Stastny should remain in a top-six role heading into the back half of the season.
