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.

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.

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.

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.

Stars' Sam Steel: Adds helper Sunday
Steel notched an assist in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Steel has done alright in January with four points, 10 shots on goal and a plus-2 rating over 11 contests. He remains in a bottom-six role, so he shouldn't be expected to be a regular contributor on offense. The 25-year-old is at 14 points, 46 shots on net, 20 hits, 19 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 41 appearances.

Stars' Sam Steel: Tallies shortie
Steel scored a shorthanded goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Steel has two goals, one assist and a plus-4 rating over his last five contests. He saw a season-high 15:18 of ice time Tuesday amid the Stars' significant line shuffling. The 25-year-old shouldn't be expected to maintain a middle-six role, though he could do so if he moves to the wing. Steel has 13 points (three on the penalty kill), 44 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 38 appearances.

Stars' Sam Steel: Scores against former team
Steel scored a goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Wild.
Steel finished off the win with a tally late in the third period. He's picked up a goal, an assist, four shots on net and a plus-4 rating over the last two games, both against his former team. The 25-year-old can provide some depth scoring on the fourth line, but with 12 points and 43 shots on net through 35 contests, he's best left on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

Stars' Sam Steel: Offers helper in win
Steel notched a short-handed assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 4-0 win over the Wild.
Steel set up Radek Faksa's shortie in the third period as the Stars ran away with the game late. The helper was Steel's third point over the last five games, though he went five contests without a point prior to that. The 25-year-old has earned a steady fourth-line role lately, though a lack of power-play time keeps his ceiling low. He's at 11 points, 41 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 34 outings overall.

Stars' Sam Steel: Goal, assist in win
Steel scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, went plus-2 and blocked two shots in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Steel was initially credited with the first goal of the game, but it was changed to Craig Smith on a tip. The 25-year-old Steel got his goal anyway with an early tally in the second period, his first lamp-lighter since Dec. 2. He's up to 10 points, 36 shots on net, 12 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 30 appearances this season. Steel's done well for a fourth-liner when he plays, but he may still see the occasional scratch if his performance slips.

Stars' Sam Steel: Chips in with helper
Steel provided an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.
Steel has a goal and five helpers over eight games in December. He helped out on a Ty Dellandrea tally in the first period. While Steel's spot in the lineup isn't fully safe, it appears he has the edge over Dellandrea and Craig Smith at this time for playing time on the fourth line. Steel is up to eight points, 31 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 24 outings this season.
