Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Opens scoring in win
Rotowire
Johnston scored a goal on his sole shot Thursday as the Stars drove to a 5-2 victory over the 'Canes.
Johnston didn't get a lot of attention during the regular season despite scoring 24 goals and 41 points as a 19-year-old. In the postseason, he has had something of a coming-out party.

He's an exciting depth option, but the results have not been consistent.
