Chandler Stephenson (born April 22, 1994) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is a forward for the Seattle Kraken of the National Hockey League (NHL). He previously played for the Washington Capitals, who had drafted him in 2012, and the Vegas Golden Knights. Born and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Stephenson played with the Saskatoon Flyers and with the Saskatoon Contacts in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League before joining the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League. Following his rookie season with the Pats, Stephenson was selected by the Capitals in the third round (77th overall) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. He returned to the Pats for two more seasons where he broke out offensively and recorded career-highs in goals, assists, and points. Upon concluding the 2013–14 season, Stephenson signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Capitals and was immediately assigned to American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hershey Bears, on an amateur try-out. Stephenson started his professional career with the Bears and played two full seasons with the team before making his NHL debut on October 15, 2015. Despite this, he continued to be a mainstay on the Bears lineup before joining the Capitals full time during the 2017–18 season. Stephenson later won the Stanley Cup as a member of the Capitals in 2018. In 2019, he was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, where he experienced a breakout, setting career-highs in goals and points. He then won a second Stanley Cup in 2023.
