Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn, and Jason Spezza. Not one of the Dallas Stars' triumvirate of superstars have scored as many goals as Patrick Eaves this season.

With a tally in Saturday's overtime loss to the Washington Capitals, Eaves now sits at 17 goals on the season - not bad for a guy the Stars kept on the books with a one-year, $1-million contract July 1.

Just 47 games into this season, Eaves' 17 markers put him on track to shatter his career-high of 20, set as a rookie in 2005-06 with the Senators.

What's more, Eaves has chipped in 12 assists for a total of 29 points - 13 of which have come on Dallas' struggling power play.

Most importantly, he's been healthy, which has surely helped his increased production. The 32-year-old has been hampered by injuries for years, and has been unable to top the 60-game threshold since the 2010-11 campaign.

Eaves has provided the Stars with tremendous value this season, and in the process has raised his personal stock heading into unrestricted free agency once again this summer.
