Stillman is the younger brother of Riley Stillman, who has skated in 167 NHL games and is currently a member of the Edmonton Oilers’ organization. He is also the son of 16-year NHL veteran Cory Stillman, who compiled 727 points (278-449-727) and 489 penalty minutes in 1,025 regular-season games with the Calgary Flames, St. Louis Blues, Tampa Bay Lightning, Carolina Hurricanes, Ottawa Senators and Florida Panthers from 1994-2011, winning Stanley Cup championships with the Lightning in 2004 and Hurricanes in 2006.
