In today’s installment of our series of Dallas Stars player grades, the focus is on Johns, who played in all but 7 games this season after having a breakout year in 2016-17.
Last Season
Stephen Johns’ 2017-18 Grade: B-
Johns had a decent year despite the inconsistent mess that was the Stars’ third pairing for much of the year. With both Julius Honka and Marc Methot in and out of the line-up, Johns was shuffled around a bit. Adding in the extra defenseman the Stars had up on the roster at different points (Jamie Oleksiak, Dillon Heatherington) made it even more of a mess for Johns as he played through the season.
