Dadonov notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
This was Dadonov's second straight game with a helper. Interestingly enough, his last six points have all come on the road, with Dallas playing 12 total contests in that span, including eight away from American Airlines Center. The veteran winger has been a reliable depth scorer in 2024-25 with 35 points, 106 shots on net and a plus-11 rating across 64 appearances. However, the Stars' significant forward depth means he'll likely finish the regular season in a bottom-six role at even strength.

Stars' Evgenii Dadonov: Draws assist in 600th career game
Rotowire
Dadonov notched an assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers.
Dadonov ended a four-game point drought with the helper to set up Jamie Benn's third-period tally. This outing was Dadonov's 600th regular-season game. He'd likely have more games played, but he spent a five-year stint in the KHL from 2012-2017. At this stage of his career, he's little more than a depth forward. He has 34 points, 105 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 63 appearances in 2024-25, but the arrival of Mikko Rantanen is all but guaranteed to keep Dadonov in the bottom six.

Stars' Evgenii Dadonov: Tallies twice in third period
Rotowire
Dadonov scored two goals on four shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Dadonov's goals were 4:25 apart in the third period to lift the Stars to the win after they were even with the Blue Jackets through two periods. This was Dadonov's third multi-point effort in his last five outings, a span in which he has three goals and three assists. The 35-year-old could be facing a smaller role moving forward following the return of Mason Marchment (face) from injured reserve and the Stars' Saturday trade to acquire Mikael Granlund. Dadonov has played all over the lineup this season, accumulating 15 goals, 29 points, 90 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 42 appearances, giving him a decent chance of reaching the 40-point mark for the first time in three years.

Stars' Evgenii Dadonov: Right place, right time for goal
Rotowire
Dadonov scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.
An Ilya Lyubushkin shot deflected in off Dadonov, giving the winger his second goal in as many games. Dadonov has filled a floater role in the Stars' lineup, racking up four goals and a plus-5 rating over his last five contests. For the season, Dadonov is at six goals, three assists, 33 shots on net, 10 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 19 appearances. With the Stars fully healthy up front, he's on the fourth line, so he won't be a goldmine for fantasy.
Dadonov scored an empty-net goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Dadonov closed out the scoring for the Stars with 54 seconds left in the third period. The Russian winger has struggled with consistency, posting four goals across his last six appearances but also going pointless three times in that span. His production is trending in the right direction, but the lack of consistency limits his upside in most formats.

He doubled his tally in the final seconds of the second period in his first multi-goal game of the campaign. Dadonov has just four goals this season, so he needs to start producing at a better pace to remain relevant in fantasy. Right now, his production just won't cut it in most formats.

Stars' Evgenii Dadonov: First goal of season Saturday
Rotowire
Dadonov scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Dadonov endured a rough start to the season and couldn't register a point in his first six appearances. Even though he's notched three points over his last three outings, with one goal and two assists, fantasy managers shouldn't rely on Dadonov to deliver sustained production in a Dallas offense that has several other offensive weapons who are more likely to deliver results with consistency.
