He plays in the top six and skate with anyone in the lineup. He nearly executed a perfect give-and-go with Evgenii Dadonov to open the scoring on Sunday night against the Seattle Kraken. Stankoven stole the puck in the neutral zone. Dadonov’s center-ice feed bounced and was too far ahead of Stankoven’s stick.With three and a half minutes until the first intermission, Stankoven collected his fourth assist of the season. A short pass to Jamie Benn cutting through the neutral zone led to Wyatt Johnston ripping the puck top shelf with a wrist shot. Dallas took that 2-0 lead into the first intermission and rode the momentum to pick up their third consecutive win to start the season.HOW MANY POINTS COULD STANKOVEN GET?The sky is the limit. Really. Between centering Benn and Johnston — no pun intended — and the club’s offensive threats, Stankoven can collect a point every time he jumps over the boards.The 21-year-old has four points through three games. He is on pace for 109 points if he appears in all 82 games of the season, which would set a franchise record. Mike Morano, the franchise all-time leading scorer, recorded 75 points in 80 games as a rookie in 1989-90. Neal Broten is the only player to register a better rookie season with 98 points in 73 games in 1981-82.So, why does this one rookie have a chance for a special season? Well, he could shatter the franchise record for points scored by a rookie and, simaltaneously, etch his name in Stanley Cup glory.</div></body>
