Stephens had an assist and one block over 10:15 of ice time in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Rangers.
Scouting Report
Has gone from a point producer at lower levels to a reliable depth forward in the NHL. Has grown into a 200-foot player who may not score a lot of goals but is not an offensive zero, either. His good burst is an asset offensively. Is at his best when he keeps things simple and plays a north-south game, rather than trying to make fancy plays. Injuries have hampered his development.
Long Range Potential: Checking center.
