Williams scored a goal and set up another in the first period of his team's 3-2 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams concluded the season as a 50-point player thanks to a strong game to end the year. He's been quite consistent in terms of points in the past five years, scoring between 43 and 52 points per year. But this year saw him go heavy on the assists, notching 35 assists for his highest total since 2012. What kind of value he has will be determined by his role next year, as he'll turn 37 in the first week of the 2018-19 season.

Williams extended his current point drought to four games Thursday against the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Overall, Williams has been a positive addition for the Canes this season, as he's just five points away from cracking the 50-point barrier for the sixth time in his 17-year career. However, he's been held off the scoresheet in 11 of his past 16 games, so he's pulled a major disappearing act down the stretch, at precisely the time the Canes needed him most, ensuring the team will once again be on the outside looking in at playoff time. The 36-year-old Williams could be looking at his swan song next season as he enters the final year of his two-year contract with the Canes.

Williams scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in a 3-2 win over the Blackhawks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams' veteran presence may not carry the Hurricanes to the playoffs, but he's done his best in his return to Carolina. The 36-year-ol now has 44 points in 68 games, including 12 on the power play. Clearly there's still life left in his legs, and also the potential for him to help out some fantasy owners.

Williams scored two goals and added an assist during Thursday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran had missed the scoresheet in each of the past five games, so this was an overdue offensive outburst. Williams is now up to 12 goals and 41 points for the campaign, and there's probably still positive regression ahead of his 7.9 shooting percentage. It wouldn't be shocking if he posted serviceable numbers through the end of the season and provided value as a secondary scorer for fantasy owners in deeper settings.

Williams dished out a pair of helpers in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Williams now has four assists in his last two games. The 36-year-old winger still has some gas left in the tank, as he's just two points away from eclipsing 40 for the seventh time in the last eight seasons.

Williams collected two assists -- one on the power play -- during Tuesday's 7-3 win over Los Angeles.
EDGE Analysis
At this stage of William's career, fantasy owners should know what to expect. The veteran chips in semi-regular offense and helps in the PIM column, but he offers limited upside. Williams now has 10 goals and 26 assists for the campaign and projects to top 40 points for the fifth consecutive season.

Williams scored a goal and picked up an assist in Thursday's 6-5 victory over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Williams scored the game winner midway through the third period in the shootout that was only tied for 23 seconds. The veteran now has four points (two goals and two assists) in his last four games, bringing his total to 31 in 2017-18. Williams is on pace to surpass his point total from last season (48) and is worth a speculative look, especially in daily leagues, as long as he is delivering this type of production.

Williams snapped a four-game pointless skid with a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
The 36-year-old Williams now has 25 points in 39 games, which is a 50-point pace and perfectly in line with what he's produced the past two seasons. He's certainly living up to expectations in Raleigh, and one reason why the 18-13-8 Canes are currently in playoff contention. Keep him active in medium to deeper formats.

Williams recorded a goal, an assist and four shots through 18:47 of ice time (1:43 on the power play) during Friday's 5-4 overtime win against Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
The two-point showing has Williams in range to take a run at 20 goals and 60 points, and he's got off to the rock-solid start in somewhat quiet fashion. He's locked into a top-six role with power-play time, so there's no reason to expect the established scorer's numbers to dip significantly moving forward.

Williams scored a power-play goal and recorded seven shots on net in a 4-3 shootout victory against the Predators on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran wing only has four goals this season, and half of them have come on the man advantage. He has five total points on the power play, which puts him on pace to surpass his 10 power-play points from 2016-17 by about the All-Star break. Unless Williams heats up soon, he probably won't hit the 20-goal mark again, but clearly, he can still provide some help on the man advantage.
