Stepan netted a goal in Carolina's 5-1 win over Buffalo on Wednesday.
Scouting Report
The creative forward is now in his 30s and has seen his scoring numbers diminish. He is still a playmaker and strong positional player with a knack for being in the right spot, although it may take him a half-second longer to get there. He was never the biggest player on the ice, and his lack of size is showing more as he ages.
Long Range Potential: Two-way forward in decline.
