Wyatt Johnston is putting together one of the most impressive special teams seasons in the National Hockey League, leading the league in power play goals by a significant margin.

Johnston has scored 24 power play goals this season, six more than the next closest player, Pavel Dorofeyev, who sits at 18. The gap highlights just how dominant Johnston has been with the man advantage, serving as a key weapon for the Dallas Stars.

Several other elite scorers trail behind, including Kirill Kaprizov and Leon Draisaitl with 16, followed by Mika Zibanejad at 15 and a group at 14 includes Juraj Slafkovsky and fellow Stars teammate Jason Robertson.

Beyond his power play dominance, Johnston has taken another major step forward offensively this season. The 22-year-old center has 40 goals and 38 assists for 78 points in 74 games and has continued to breakout as a major scoring threat in the NHL.

His ability to find soft spots in coverage, combined with a quick release and strong hockey IQ, has made him one of the most dangerous young forwards in the league. With the playoffs approaching, Johnston’s power play production could prove to be a difference-maker for the Stars as they look to make a deep postseason run.
