Sam Steel
C - Dallas Stars
Next Game
Eligibility
Sam Steel posted two points for the Stars Wednesday night, scoring one goal and picking up one assist in a 4-1 win over the Capitals.
Fantasy Impact
Steel has offered mixed results in the offensive zone, picking up points in five of his last nine games (three goals, three assists) for the Stars. The 27-year-old has been one of the few underperforming offensive options in the Dallas lineup for much of the season, registering 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) in 44 games so far this season.
Sam Steel scored a goal on four shots in Sunday’s 4-3 victory over the Islanders. The 27-year-old forward struck just 2:10 into the game, giving the Stars' fourth line an early spark.
Fantasy Impact
Steel has secured his place in Dallas after signing a two-year extension on Feb. 14. He’s put together a steady season with five goals, 18 points, 71 shots on net, 46 hits, and a minus-2 rating over 55 appearances. While he’s on pace to surpass 20 points for the fifth time in his career, his current role limits his upside, making him more relevant in deeper fantasy formats.
Steel assisted on two of the three Anaheim goals.
Fantasy Impact
These were the first points for the Ducks forward since February 19th and his first multi point game since January 26th.
Steel got his stick on a tipped puck, deflceting it home from up close late in the first for his first career NHL goal.
Fantasy Impact
Steel has a goal and 2 assists in 9 games.
Steel sent a low rocket on goal in the vaning seconds of the first period and the Ducks PP, and Ryan Kesler scored on the rebound a few seconds later.
Fantasy Impact
Steel is emerging as the player the Ducks hoped he'd be, but with his minutes somewhat managed, the points are not quite there yet. In any csae he has 2 points in 7 games, both coming on the PP.
