Some of us are old enough to remember when Wyatt Johnston was just a kid scoring his first playoff goal. And on Monday night, on the eve of his majority, there he was leading the Dallas Stars to a dominant Game 4 win over the Colorado Avalanche.
The star forward made the transition from promising rookie to franchise cornerstone in what seems like a heartbeat, as Friend of DBD Robert Tiffin points out:
…Johnston is no longer simply a character in a great story, but the title of the anthology. The just-turned-21-year-old has become the Stars’ top forward and centerman, and an elite one at that.
