Kevin Stenlund - NHL News & Rumors

Collects two points in win Stenlund scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Monday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.

Impact Stenlund delivered his first goal of the season and added his fourth assist, providing an unexpected offensive boost from Utah's bottom six. The veteran center logged just 13:43 of ice time, suggesting his opportunities to sustain this level of production remain limited. While the two-point outing was encouraging, his relatively modest offensive role makes him a better fit for deeper fantasy leagues than standard formats.

Mammoth hold off late charge from Penguins for 5-4 win

Clayton Keller, Kevin Stenlund, Nate Schmidt and Nick Schmaltz each tallied a goal and an assist to help the Utah Mammoth beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-4 on Monday night

Three helpers in overtime loss Stenlund posted three assists and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 preseason overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Stenlund's position with the Mammoth will likely depend on how many prospects make the Opening Night roster. He carries a $2.75 million cap hit, which might deter other teams from claiming him if he lands on waivers. Stenlund is unlikely to see anything more than fourth-line minutes in 2026-27.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Sticking with Utah Stenlund signed a one-year, $2.75 million contract with the Mammoth on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Stenlund has made at least 80 regular-season appearances in three consecutive years. Across 80 regular-season games with Utah last year, he recorded four goals, 14 assists, 61 blocked shots, 43 hits and 24 PIM while averaging 14:29 of ice time. He should have the opportunity to maintain consistent playing time with the Mammoth during the 2026-27 campaign.

Buries goal in loss Stenlund scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1.

Impact Stenlund hadn't scored a goal in three months, going 32 contests since his last tally Jan. 17 versus the Kraken. He's maintained a steady bottom-six presence in the lineup but isn't likely to put up much offense. He was limited to 18 points over 80 regular-season outings in total. Stenlund is a veteran of 31 playoff games over three previous postseasons, but he had just three points in those games. However, he is a Stanley Cup champion from 2024 with the Panthers, bringing some vital playoff experience to a team that greatly lacks it.

He was also on the ice in overtime, picking up the secondary helper on Nick Schmaltz's game-winner. Stenlund is at 18 points, 58 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 36 hits and 24 PIM through 69 contests this season.

Playing Friday Stenlund (illness) will be back in the lineup versus the Blues on Friday, per NHL.com.

Impact Stenlund's return from an illness means Kalier Yamamoto figures to be headed back up to the press box as a healthy scratch. In his 43 appearances this year, the 29-year-old Stenlund has generated three goals and seven helpers, well off his 2024-25 pace in which he racked up 28 points in 82 regular-season tilts.

Under the weather Wednesday Stenlund (illness) won't play Wednesday versus the Senators.

Impact Stenlund was reportedly a game-time decision, and now we know why. He'll miss his first game of the season, but given that he's dealing with an illness, he shouldn't be sidelined for an extended period of time. His next chance to play is Friday versus the Blues.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed game-time decision Stenlund is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup against Ottawa for an undisclosed reason, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.

Impact Stenlund hasn't yet missed a game this season, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up against the Senators. He didn't participate in Wednesday's morning skate, and Kaiser Yamamoto will likely return to the lineup if Stenlund is unavailable.

Deposits goal Wednesday Stenlund scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Stenlund provided the Mammoth's last goal while getting a late-game shift with Clayton Keller, who set him up. That's been a wrinkle in Utah's plan lately -- Stenlund remains listed on the fourth line, but he's seen at least 15 minutes of ice time in five of his last 11 games, most often in close games or when the Mammoth are leading. The veteran defensive center has three goals, 10 points, 35 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 22 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 36 appearances. He's well behind the pace that saw him earn 14 goals and 28 points in all 82 contests last year, but he still plays an important on-ice role.

Distributes three helpers Stenlund notched three assists and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.

Impact Stenlund has a pair of multi-point efforts over his last five outings, totaling a goal and four assists in that span. The center is up to two goals, seven helpers, 30 shots on net, 22 hits, 24 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 33 appearances. While he remains listed on the fourth line, he's trusted to help protect leads and play a shutdown role, so he'll often see far more ice time than his linemates.
