The first time was from St. Louis at the 2018 trade deadline, with the veteran playing 19 regular season games and 18 more in the playoffs before leaving that off-season to join the Golden Knights in free agency. Vegas then sent Stastny back to Winnipeg in Oct. 2020.
Stastny, who was born in Quebec City, was an all-star in 2008 and 2011, and internationally has represented the United States at the 2010 and 2014 Olympics.
