Saad scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-2 victory over San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
Saad put the Blackhawks on top 3-1 with 2:02 left in the second period, a goal that held up as the game-winner. It was his first goal in the last six games and his 21st on the year. The 27-year-old is a dependable 20-goal scorer at the NHL level, although he's yet to reach the 50-point plateau since returning to Chicago three years ago.

Saad scored a power-play goal on a team-leading six shots Tuesday in a 6-5 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis

It was Saad's 19th goal of the season but, incredibly, his first all year with the man advantage. He has 29 points in 51 games and is about to hit 20 goals for the fourth time in the last six years.

Saad scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Saad has managed seven goals and two assists in his last 10 games -- that's quite the hot streak for the 27-year-old winger. He's up to 28 points (18 tallies, 10 helpers) through 46 contests. Saad is likely to continue seeing top-six minutes, but he's stuck on zero power-play points.

Saad scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Saad converted on a Patrick Kane set-up at 10:58 of the first period. Offense has come in spades for Saad since he returned from an ankle injury -- he's posted five markers and an assist in his last seven games. The winger is at 25 points and 100 shots in 43 appearances this season.

Saad picked up an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Saad now has four goals and a helper in five games since returning from an ankle injury. The 27-year-old winger is at 24 points and 99 shots on net in 41 contests. It's worth a look to see if Saad was left on the waiver wire while he was injured -- he's reached 47 points in five of the last six campaigns, which suggests he could sustain his hot run a little longer.

Saad scored twice on five shots and was plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Saad staked the Blackhawks to a 2-0 lead with his 14th and 15th goals of the season. After a middling opening two months of the season, Saad has found his touch since mid-December, amassing seven goals in his last eight games. A resurgent Saad is a critical development for a Blackhawks squad making a push for the playoffs. The 27-year old is a proven 20-goal scorer and is worth considering as a waiver pickup while he's on this heater.

Saad scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Saad's tally will be remembered as the goal Patrick Kane picked up his 1,000th point on -- the latter had the secondary assist. Saad has scored in consecutive games since returning from an ankle injury. He's up to 13 markers and 21 points in 38 contests, used mostly in a top-six role.

Saad (ankle) will be in the lineup for Saturday's tilt in Toronto, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Saad hasn't suited up since Dec. 19, missing the last 12 contests with an ankle injury. Prior to that, he had racked up 11 goals and 19 points in 36 games. Expect the 27-year-old winger to join the Blackhawks' top-six.
