3. How does Wyatt Johnston build on last season?
If there were any concerns about a down-tempo second season for the Stars center, he quickly quashed those thoughts. Johnston was exceptional in 2023-24 with 65 points (32 goals, 33 assists), second on the Stars behind Robertson (80 points; 29 goals, 51 assists). That came after he had 41 points (24 goals, 17 assists) as a rookie.
Johnston has continued to improve in all aspects of his game and was stellar in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs, when the 21-year-old led the Stars with 10 goals in 19 games, including two game-winning goals. With Johnston entering the final season of his entry-level contract, there’s no doubt he’ll be one of, if not the, top scorer for the Stars this season.
