It has been the most productive in terms of goal totals for the centerman, netting 18 after 16 and ten respectively in each of the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>This season, Stastny has been a key cog for the Blues playing in his natural position between <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/perroda01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David Perron<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/steenal01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alex Steen<\/a><\/strong> and on the wing with <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/schwaja01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jaden Schwartz<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/tarasvl01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vladimir Tarasenko<\/a><\/strong>.

Defensively, he&#8217;s fifth in Corsi-against per 60 (51.78) and fourth in Fenwick-against per 60 (37.32).<\/p>\n<p>Over his career, Stastny has been a reliable producer, needing two goals to break 20 for the eighth time. His 13 at even strength rank third on the team. On special teams, Stastny has logged a great deal responsibility on the power play and penalty kill. He ranks fourth among forwards in time logged for each playing 170:26 and 107:31 respectively, scoring five power play goals and 13 man advantage points. His impact on both ends has St. Louis ranking sixth at 84.6% and fourth at 22.3% respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Stastny was drafted in the second round (44th overall) in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Avalanche.
