Top Sam Steel News

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Available Tuesday

    Steel (undisclosed) is good to play Tuesday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

    Steel missed Saturday's 4-1 win over Edmonton due to the injury. He has a goal and two points in five appearances this season. Oskar Back is projected to be a healthy scratch for the first time in 2024-25.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Traveling with club

    Steel (undisclosed) will be on the Stars' two-game road trip, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports Monday.

    In five games this season, Steel has tallied one goal on five shots, one assist and three hits while averaging 13:28 of ice time. If the Alberta native does suit up against the Sabres on Tuesday or the Bruins on Thursday, it figures to be in a bottom-six role where he will offer minimal offensive upside.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Unavailable Saturday

    Steel (undisclosed) isn't expected to play against Edmonton on Saturday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

    Steel sustained the injury late in Thursday's game. He has a goal and an assist through five appearances this season. With Steel unavailable, Matej Blumel is set to draw into the lineup after being summoned from AHL Texas on Saturday.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Questionable for Saturday

    Steel is questionable for Saturday's game against Edmonton due to an undisclosed injury, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

    Steel suffered his injury during his final shift against Washington on Thursday, and the Stars will likely wait to see how he feels in the hours leading up to Saturday's matchup before determining his status. If Steel is unable to dress against the Oilers, the Stars will likely call up another skater to provide additional depth.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Opens scoring in win

    Steel scored a goal in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.

    Steel's tally at 16:17 of the first period held up as the game-winning goal. It was the first goal and second point through three games this season for the 26-year-old center, who has added a plus-1 rating and two shots on net. Steel appears to be a lock for a fourth-line role, but it would likely take injuries higher in the lineup for him to earn more ice time.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Helps out on empty-netter

    Steel posted an assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Islanders.

    Steel helped out on Tyler Seguin's empty-net goal to seal the win. The 26-year-old Steel occupies a fourth-line role for the Stars, and he's valued for his on-ice contributions. The center has topped the 20-point mark in four of the last five seasons, but he offers middling production across the board and doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Back with Dallas

    Steel signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Stars on Sunday, per CapFriendly.

    Steel wasn't qualified by Dallas but the team didn't let him get to the open market. He tallied nine goals and 24 points in 77 regular-season games last year and added another five points in 19 postseason appearances. Steel should maintain a bottom-six role during the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Sam Steel: Testing open market

    Dallas didn't present Steel with a qualifying offer Sunday to retain his NHL rights.

    As a result, Steel will be eligible to test the open market Monday as an unrestricted free agent. The 26-year-old forward generated nine goals, 24 points and 86 shots on net in 77 regular-season appearances with the Stars in 2023-24.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Contributes assist

    Steel notched an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Steel snapped a three-game drought with his helper on a Mason Marchment goal in the third period. Through 15 playoff outings, Steel has five points, 13 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-2 rating. He remains in a fourth-line role with no power-play time, but his spot in the lineup is safe even as head coach Pete DeBoer has shown little hesitation in changing his bottom-six personnel.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Two points in win

    Steel scored an empty-net goal on two shots, dished a shorthanded assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4.

    Steel's shot on a shorthanded chance led to Wyatt Johnston's goal on a rebound. Steel also deposited an empty-netter to seal the Stars' third straight win. The 26-year-old has just four points through 11 playoff outings, but three of them have come over the last two games. He could be in line for a larger role if Roope Hintz (upper body) misses time after leaving Monday's contest in the first period.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Posts assist in Game 3 win

    Steel logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

    Steel has just two assists to go with eight shots on net and 15 hits through 10 playoff outings. He's exceeded 14 minutes of ice time in four straight games despite being listed on the Stars' fourth line. Steel is far from a reliable scorer, but he appears to have the trust of head coach Pete DeBoer to handle a versatile depth role during the postseason.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Chips in with helper

    Steel logged an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

    Steel snapped a nine-game point drought with the helper on Ty Dellandrea's go-ahead goal in the second period. The 26-year-old Steel continues to see steady usage on the fourth line. He was solid with 24 points, 86 shots on net, 58 hits and 29 PIM over 77 regular-season appearances while filling a variety of spots in the bottom six.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Grabs two points in win

    Steel scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Oilers.

    The Stars got a big game out of their fourth line, with Steel setting up Radek Faksa on the opening goal at 2:08 of the first period. Steel also scored the team's fifth tally of the game late in the second. The 26-year-old has four points over his last six outings despite not seeing more than 15 minutes of ice time in any of those games. He's produced nine goals, 24 points, 78 shots on net, 56 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-4 rating across 71 contests this season.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Supplies helper Tuesday

    Steel notched an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

    Steel set up a Mason Marchment tally in the first period. With Tyler Seguin (lower body) resting after a recent return from injury, Steel remained on the fourth line while Ty Dellandrea moved up the lineup. Steel has four points over 11 outings in March, and he's up to eight goals, 14 helpers, 74 shots on net, 55 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 68 contests overall.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Pots goal in win

    Steel scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.

    Steel's third-period tally chased Tristan Jarry from the game. The goal was Steel's first point in six outings. With the Stars missing only Evgenii Dadonov (lower body) among their forwards, Steel will need to stay sharp in a bottom-six role to avoid being a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Steel is up to eight goals, 21 points, 71 shots on net, 52 hits and 27 PIM through 66 appearances.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Garners assist Friday

    Steel notched an assist and three hits in Friday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.

    Steel set up a Radek Faksa tally in the first period, which stood as the game-winner. With two helpers over the last three games, Steel is starting to shake off a slump that limited him to three points over 13 outings in February. He's at 20 points, 63 shots on net, 42 hits and 25 PIM over 60 appearances this season, playing primarily in a bottom-six role.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Slings helper in shootout win

    Steel notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.

    Steel snapped his eight-game point drought by assisting on Radek Faksa's second-period tally. While he's floated around the lineup at times, Steel has been firmly in place as the fourth-line center since Tyler Seguin (lower body) exited the lineup. Steel has 19 points, 62 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 58 appearances, but fantasy managers can likely find better options on the waiver wire.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Posts two points in win

    Steel scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Predators.

    Steel picked off a pass to score 35 seconds into the game, setting the tone in a game the Stars dominated. The center added a primary helper on Craig Smith's tally later in the first period. Steel's got some job security for now with Evgenii Dadonov (lower body) out, though Steel hasn't been scratched since November. The 26-year-old is at 18 points, 54 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 49 appearances in a bottom-six role.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Pots game-winner Tuesday

    Steel scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Sabres.

    The 26-year-old banged home the rebound on a Radek Faksa shot midway through the second period to wrap up the scoring on the night. Steel's fantasy upside is limited in a bottom-six role, but he's been quietly productive over the last month with three goals and six points in the last 12 games.

  • Stars' Sam Steel: Pockets assist Saturday

    Steel notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Capitals.

    Steel chipped in five points over 14 games in January while maintaining a steady spot in the bottom six. With a move to the third line, he's seeing a bit more ice time and seems to be at a low risk of being scratched. The 25-year-old has 15 points, 48 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 44 appearances, which likely isn't enough production to justify a roster spot in most fantasy formats.
