Derek Stepan is not going to put up 50 points anymore, but that is ok. The former New York Ranger has not put up 50 points since 2017-18, instead, his point total has gone down from 35 last year to just 21 this seasons. It might be because of the role the team needs filled.
Arizona has a lot of offensive players and some great defensemen. However they don’t have many skilled defensive forwards, that is what Stepan is bringing to the team, while also winning critical faceoffs when the team needs it.
Stepan is currently operating at a 47.
