Yan Stastny began his career in 1999 in the North American Hockey League for the St. Louis Sting, where he played for a year. In 2000 he moved to the United States Hockey League , where he played one season for the Omaha Lancers . He then went to the University of Notre Dame and played for their team in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association . After his first year he was selected in the eighth round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft at position 259 by the Boston Bruins .

After another season for Notre Dame, he moved to the Nürnberg Ice Tigers in the German Ice Hockey League in 2003 . In his first year in Germany, as in his previous career stations, he was not yet able to distinguish himself as a particularly good scorer. His second season would be the most successful of his career to date, when he reached 54 points in 51 games. In total, he completed 107 games in the DEL, in which he scored 86 points scorer (34 goals / 52 assists) and collected 159 penalty minutes.

In the summer of 2005, the Boston Bruins transferred their rights to him to the Edmonton Oilers and he returned to North America. He played much of the 2005/06 season with the Iowa Stars , a farm team from Edmonton in the American Hockey League . On March 1, 2006 he came to his first assignment in the National Hockey League for Edmonton. Two more games followed before he was transferred back to the Boston Bruins on March 9. There he played the rest of the regular season in the NHL team. The playoffs , he completed then at their AHL farm team, the Providence Bruins .

He started the 2006/07 season in the NHL, but was sent back to Providence to the AHL several times. In January 2007 he was transferred to the St. Louis Blues for a draft pick. There he was no longer used during the season for St. Louis and played for the Peoria Rivermen , the AHL farm team of the Blues. In September 2007 Stastny had the opportunity to recommend himself in the training camp of the Blues for a place in the NHL squad, but could not prevail and was sent back to the AHL. It wasn't until a year later that he managed to get a regular place in the NHL Blues squad. After he had spent half of the 2008/09 season with the Rivermen and most of the following season with these, the Blues exchanged him on March 3, 2010 for Pierre-Cédric Labrie of the Vancouver Canucks .

He didn't play a single game for the Canucks, but was used in the AHL with the Manitoba Moose . In June 2010 he was committed by HK CSKA Moscow from the Continental Hockey League . In September 2011, his contract with the CSKA was terminated. Between October 2011 and the end of the 2013/14 season he played again for the Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers in the DEL. After a year with the Swedish club Mora IK in the second-rate HockeyAllsvenskan , Stastny returned to the DEL in summer 2015 and joined the Schwenninger Wild Wings as part of a trial contract ( try-out ) . This trial contract was extended at the end of August until the end of the season.
