Rotowire
Johnston notched two assists and two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Senators.
Johnston's point streak is up to five games (three goals, five assists).

Rotowire
Johnston recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 win over Utah.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Extends point streak with goal
Rotowire
Johnston scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Jets.
Johnston tied the game at 1-1 late in the first period. His tally gives him two goals and five assists during a six-game point streak.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Riding five-game point streak
Rotowire
Johnston notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.
Johnston's point streak is up to five games (one goal, five assists) after he set up Roope Hintz's game-winner Friday. This matches Johnston's longest streak of the season -- he also opened the campaign with points in five straight. Between those hot stretches, he's lacked consistency. He's at 13 points, 61 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 22 appearances. The 21-year-old is too talented to shoot 4.9 percent all season, so expect his offense to improve eventually.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Scores, assists in win over Sharks
Rotowire
Johnston had a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Johnston enjoyed an excellent start to the season and cracked the scoresheet in his first five appearances, but he's cooled off since then. This was his first multi-point outing of the campaign, and excluding that five-game stretch at the beginning of the season, he only has four points (two goals, two assists) in 13 contests. Given that Johnston had 65 points in 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24, this is not the kind of start neither he nor fantasy managers were hoping for.

Rotowire
Johnston scored a power-play goal on eight shots in Monday's 7-1 win over the Penguins.
Johnston started the season on a five-game point streak, but this was just his second point over the last nine contests. The 21-year-old has seven points, 38 shots on net, nine hits and nine blocked shots over 14 appearances. He was on the third line with Jamie Benn and Logan Stankoven in this game, though Johnston has also found success when playing on the top line. Given his recent slump, Johnston is an excellent buy-low candidate.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: First point in six games
Rotowire
Johnston picked up an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Florida during Dallas' NHL Global Series game in Finland.
Johnston earned his first point in six games. The 21-year-old has struggled out of the gate after a remarkable 2023-24, where many analysts thought he was often the best Stars player on the ice. He has just one goal and five assists in 11 games. Johnston's shooting rate, which is at an abysmal 4.0 percent, should start to revert to his career norm (14.2 percent), and the points will flow. Stay patient.

Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Deals helper in shootout win
Rotowire
Johnston registered an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.

In addition to the steady offense, Johnston has six shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while seeing time on both the first and third lines at various times. The 21-year-old forward had 65 points in 82 regular-season outings last year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him come close to a point-per-game pace in 2024-25 given he plays a key role on a team that can produce goals in a variety of ways.
