NHL Media asked players around the league for predictions on who will be the next breakout star in the leauge.<\/p>\n

One Dallas Stars<\/a> player was mentioned as a possible breakout star: Wyatt Johnston<\/a>. You could make the argument Johnston has already broken out in his first three years in the NHL. His point total has increased each year, from 41 points in his rookie campaign in 2022-23, then reaching 65 points in 2023-24 before notching 71 points in 2024-25. Johnston has scored at least 32 goals in each of his last two seasons.<\/p>\n

However, is there another level the 22-year-old forward can reach? New York Rangers forward Will Cuylle thinks he can.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe could hit 100 points, I think,\u201d Cuylle told NHL.com. \u201cHe\u2019s really good and it seems like he just gets better and better each year.\u201d<\/p>\n

His teammates are buying stock, too. Just ask Stars goalie Jake Oettinger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s shown flashes of being crazy special, and now I think he\u2019s going to have a bigger role,\u201d Oettinger said. \u201cHe\u2019s going to be on one of the best lines in hockey. I expect him to fill that role, play great and be the superstar that we all know he\u2019s going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnston is off to a nice start to his 2025-26 campaign after finding the back of the net in Dallas\u2019 season-opening win over the Winnipeg Jets<\/a>.<\/p>\n
