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, who is dealing with an undisclosed injury, is still expected to suit up versus Nashville on Thursday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.
Johnston played in all 82 games in each of the previous two seasons, but that record could be in doubt if he suffers a setback ahead of Thursday's Opening Night contest. If he avoids any extended absences, Johnston could challenge his career-high numbers from last season when he set personal bests in goals (32), assists (33) and shots on net (216).
