Jason Robertson
The forward has been outstanding, scoring 43 points (16 goals, 27 assists) in 49 games, second among NHL rookies to Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov (51 points; 27 goals, 24 assists in 54 games). Robertson is also second on the Stars behind forward Joe Pavelski (50 points; 24 goals, 26 assists in 54 games). The future looks bright for the 21-year-old.
