The 2018-19 season served as a nice and somewhat unexpected springboard for Dallas Stars forward Jason Dickinson.
After being selected 29th overall by the Stars in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, the young Ontario native began working his way towards a spot in the NHL. He spent a handful of seasons in the OHL with the Guelph Storm before making his AHL debut with the Texas Stars at the end of the 2014-15 season.
And after a 22-goal, 53-point campaign in his first full season with Texas in 2015-16, Dickinson made his NHL debut on April 7, 2016, scoring a goal and putting two shots on net in 11:55 of ice time.
