Mitchell Stephens

Stephens posted six points and 36 hits in 38 games as a rookie for the Lightning last year. He was mostly a part-time player in 2019-20, but with Cedric Paquette now in Ottawa, the door is open for Stephens to take on an everyday role as the fourth-line center. It's a job that will come with competition -- Mathieu Joseph and Boo Nieves are also in the mix for that role -- but Stephens should probably be considered the favorite. A second-round pick in 2015, Stephens is far from being fantasy relevant, but he'll do the little things right defensively, which should keep him in the lineup on a regular basis.
