Saad scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Facing one of his four former teams, Saad delivered his first multi-point performance since being plucked off waivers by the Golden Knights at the end of January. The 32-year-old winger has been surprisingly productive in a middle-six role with Vegas -- after managing only seven goals and 16 points in 43 contests for the Blues earlier in the season, Saad has already delivered five goals and eight points in 13 appearances for the Knights.

Saad scored a goal on five shots in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

The 32-year-old attempted to spark a comeback with his third-period tally, but the Golden Knights came up short. Saad is now at six points over 11 contests with Vegas and 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists), 98 shots and a minus-12 rating through 54 appearances between the Golden Knights and the Blues this season.

Saad scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 4-0 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Saad took a shot from the top of the circle and beat Alex Nedeljkovic for the Golden Knights' third goal of the game. With three goals and two assists over his last nine contests, Saad has provided solid depth scoring in a middle-six role. He's up to 21 points, 93 shots on net and a minus-13 rating over 53 appearances between the Golden Knights and the Blues this season, but he's been more consistent overall since joining Vegas.

Saad notched an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Saad snapped a three-game point drought when he set up Tomas Hertl's opening goal 4:33 into the contest. The 32-year-old Saad is up to four points through nine outings with the Golden Knights after he was unconditionally waived by the Blues. The winger has a total of 20 points, 92 shots on net and a minus-14 rating over 52 appearances between the two teams this season. Saad has some appeal for points only in fantasy, as long as he stays in a top-six role.

Saad scored a goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Saad tallied 18 seconds into the third period, knocking home a second chance after a Zach Whitecloud shot went wide and caromed in front off the end boards. With three points over five outings with the Golden Knights, Saad appears to have found a good landing spot after a poor first half with the Blues. Overall, he has nine goals, 19 points, 86 shots on net and a minus-14 rating through 48 appearances this season. He's filling a middle-six role with power-play time in Vegas, and while he won't add a physical element, the offense has been enough to be worth a look in deep fantasy formats.

Saad logged an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Saad has two points and 10 shots over four contests since he signed with Vegas following a mutual contract termination with St. Louis. The 32-year-old has settled onto the Golden Knights' third line, playing alongside Brett Howden and Mark Stone in the absence of William Karlsson (lower body). Saad has 18 points, 85 shots and a minus-15 rating over 47 appearances this season. He has scoring potential, but he's a risky option in fantasy since he doesn't add much else if his offense goes cold.

Saad scored a goal Tuesday in a 2-1 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
It was Saad's first goal as a member of the Golden Knights. He slotted onto the third line in his new home, and that means a plum gig with Mark Stone on his other wing. That's a nice landing spot for a guy the Blues deemed expendable a few days ago. Saad may provide real value to fantasy managers in deep formats who pluck him off the wire.

Saad inked a one-year contract with the Golden Knights on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Saad had plenty of teams interested in his services once he and the Blues agreed to terminate his contract after he passed through unconditional waivers. Saad had seven goals and 16 points in 40 games with the Blues this season and has hit the 20-plus goal mark on seven occasions during his NHL career. Saad is expected to be a middle-six forward the rest of the season with the Golden Knights.
