Chips in two helpers Sunday Steel recorded two even-strength assists in Sunday's 5-2 win over Winnipeg in Game 3.

Impact Steel has been a valuable depth contributor in the postseason -- he has five assists over 10 games. That kind of production for a fourth-line player goes a long way for a team with Stanley Cup aspirations, as it allows head coach Pete DeBoer to roll all four lines. Steel has added 16 hits and 12 PIM while managing 13:40 of ice time in the 2024-25 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Game 4 will take place in Dallas on Tuesday.

Records shorthanded helper Steel logged a shorthanded assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Utah.

Impact Steel snapped a five-game point drought when he helped out on a Brendan Smith tally in the second period. The 27-year-old Steel has held steady in a bottom-six role for the Stars for much of the season. He's now at 24 points in 77 contests, exactly matching his offensive output from 2023-24.

Dealing with undisclosed injury Steel will miss out against the Kraken on Monday due to an undisclosed injury, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Steel is mired in a 14-game goal drought dating back to Feb 28 versus the Kings. During his slump, the 27-year-old forward chipped in just three assists to go with eight shots, nine hits and five blocks while averaging 12:54 of ice time. With Steel out of the lineup, Colin Blackwell will step back into the lineup in a fourth-line role.

Records helper Saturday Steel provided an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact The Stars mixed and matched lines with an 11-forward, seven-defensemen lineup. That led to Steel drawing an assist on Jason Robertson's game-tying goal at 11:50 of the first period. The 27-year-old Steel has three assists over his last six contests and looks to have a fair amount of job security in a fourth-line role -- he's been out of the lineup just twice all season. He's up to 23 points, which is one shy of last year's total, and he's added 83 shots on net, 55 hits and a minus-3 rating across 71 appearances in 2024-25.

Gets on scoresheet with assist Steel logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Lightning.

Impact Steel helped out on an Oscar Back tally in the second period. The assist ended Steel's eight-game point drought, though it's encouraging he wasn't scratched during the slump, especially with the depth of the Stars' offense. The 27-year-old center is at 21 points, 80 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-4 rating over 66 appearances. While Steel will likely play regularly, his fourth-line role is not particularly helpful for fantasy.

Impact Steel earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 7 in this contest. The 27-year-old helped out on a Logan Stankoven goal just after a power play expired in the first period, and he added his shortie in the final frame. Steel reached the 20-point mark for the fifth time in his career (six goals, 14 assists), and he's also scored at least one shorthanded goal in three straight seasons. He's added 75 shots on net, 46 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 57 appearances in 2024-25.

Opens scoring in win Steel scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

Impact Steel tallied just 2:10 into the game as the Stars' fourth line made an early impact. The 27-year-old signed a two-year contract extension Feb. 14, so he's cemented himself as a key part of the forward depth in Dallas. He's also enjoying a pretty steady year with five goals, 18 points, 71 shots on net, 46 hits and a minus-2 rating through 55 appearances. Steel should get to the 20-point mark for the fifth time in his career, but he may struggle to challenge his personal best of 28 points from the 2022-23 campaign.
