Dallas Stars right wing Evgenii Dadonov found the back of the net twice during their victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday evening. Dadonov would score both of his goals in the final frame. He first broke a 3-3 stalemate with a tip-in goal. Later in the frame, he would extend their lead on a backhand shot. Dadonov logged four shots on goal with one hit and a +1 rating. Over his previous five contests, Dadonov has posted three two-point showings. During this stretch, he tallied three goals and three helpers. Across 52 contests, the 35-year-old has found the back of the net 15 times and added 14 helpers. He is on pace to enjoy one of the better seasons of his 11-year NHL career. Fantasy managers should continue to view him as a depth forward in deeper formats, as he typically sees time on the third line of the Dallas offense. He will look to stay hot on Tuesday evening against the Anaheim Ducks.

Dallas Stars forward Evgenii Dadonov (lower body) will return to the lineup for the club's regular-season finale against the visiting St. Louis Blues on Wednesday. The veteran has missed the past 29 games after suffering a lower-body injury in a 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Feb. 10. "I'm excited to play, but at the same time a little bit worried. It's been a long time," Dadonov said. "Not sure exactly what to expect, but I feel good and should be fine. I hope [after] a couple of shifts, I get into the game." The 35-year-old has tallied 12 goals and 23 points across 50 games on the season. The Stars can win the Western Conference by securing a single point on Wednesday.

Dallas Stars right wing Evgenii Dadonov scored two goals in Wednesday's 5-4 loss against the Maple Leafs. The veteran forward scored at even-strength in the opening frame and on a penalty shot in the third period to end his seven-game scoring drought, and he found the back of the net for the first time since Jan. 16 against the Kings. Dadonov's fantasy value is limited to extremely deep formats as he has recorded 12 goals and 23 points through 49 games.
