  • Dishes pair of helpers
    Johnston logged two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Johnston snapped a three-game skid with helpers on goals by Jamie Benn and Esa Lindell. While his consistency has faded, Johnston is still seeing huge minutes and driving play positively for the Stars. The 21-year-old center is at seven goals, six helpers, 48 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-4 rating over 15 playoff contests. Rotowire.com May 25, 9:00 pm
     
  • Secures one-year deal
    Ward agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Los Angeles on Friday.

    Advice: Ward has yet to make his NHL debut, having spent the past three seasons playing exclusively in the minors with AHL Ontario. The 26-year-old winger did set new personal bests with the Reign this season, recoding 11 goals and 21 helpers before adding seven points in eight postseason contests. With his new deal in hand, look for Ward to once again spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 season in the minors. Rotowire.com May 24, 12:51 pm
     
  • Earns helper in loss
    Dadonov registered an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Dadonov has a goal and three assists over his last five contests. The winger has benefited from taking on a larger role while Roope Hintz (upper body) is out. Dadonov has seven points, 20 shots on net, 15 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 14 playoff outings, so even with his recent increased offense, he's still little more than a complementary part of the Stars' attack.
