Saad (lower body) signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Golden Knights on Friday, per PuckPedia.
EDGE Analysis
Saad signed with the Golden Knights after his contract with the Blues was terminated in January. It was a good fit for the player and team, as the 32-year-old put up 14 points over 29 regular-season games with Vegas after the signing. He'll stick around for another year on a fairly team-friendly deal, and he'll be expected to fill a middle-six role with a chance for power-play time.

Saad (lower body) won't play in Game 5 versus the Oilers on Wednesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Saad was not at the morning skate and doesn't appear to be particularly close to returning, though the Golden Knights are predictably being quiet about injuries this postseason. The 32-year-old winger will miss his third straight game, and if Vegas loses Wednesday, he'll end the season on the shelf.

Saad (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Game 5 against Edmonton on Wednesday, per SinBin.vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Saad missed the morning skate, but head coach Bruce Cassidy didn't rule him out for the upcoming tilt. Saad has two assists, two PIM, 13 shots, seven hits and one block in eight playoff appearances this year. If he does play Wednesday, it will likely be in a bottom-six capacity.

EDGE Analysis

Saad managed an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Wild in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Saad has a helper in each of the first two playoff games, and he's earned five points over his last three outings. The winger is seeing time on the second line at even strength, but he doesn't have a power-play role, so it may be tough for him to be consistent on offense. However, he's got enough scoring talent to be an option to fill out a DFS lineup.

Saad logged an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Saad rested for the regular-season finale but was back in a second-line role for the playoff opener. The 32-year-old winger has five points over nine outings in April. He'll be more of a support scorer for the Golden Knights during the postseason. He put up 30 points, 127 shots on net and a minus-8 rating between Vegas and St. Louis over 72 regular-season contests.

Saad scored a goal on four shots and added two assists in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Saad had been limited to just one assist, also against the Flames, over the previous 12 games. His goal drought entering Tuesday was at 15 contests before his third-period tally, which forced overtime. The 32-year-old winger is now at 13 goals, 17 assists, 127 shots on net and a minus-8 rating over 72 appearances between the Golden Knights and the Blues. He'll need to find more consistency in the playoffs.
