Wyatt Johnston Breaks Stars Single-Season Power-Play Goals Record

The 22-year-old's man-advantage surge strengthens Dallas's push to clinch a fifth straight playoff berth.

Overview

  • Johnston’s 23rd power-play goal came Sunday against the Golden Knights and tied the game 1-1.
  • The mark surpasses Dino Ciccarelli’s 22 from 1986-87, a franchise record dating to the Minnesota North Stars era.
  • He previously eclipsed Mike Modano’s Dallas single-season power-play record of 18 in February.
  • His 23 man-advantage goals already exceed his prior career total of 17, highlighting a career-best season at age 22.
  • Dallas needed one point to clinch a fifth consecutive playoff berth and, per later reports, did not clinch with the loss to Vegas.
