Saad registered two assists in St. Louis' 5-2 victory over Washington on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Saad has 17 goals and 29 points in 57 contests this season. His scoring pace is down from 2021-22 when he finished with 24 markers and 49 points in 78 games. A big part of the decline is because Saad's recorded only two power-play points in 2022-23, which is down from 13 last season. That's despite entering Friday's action averaging more ice time with the man advantage this year (1:53) than he did in the previous campaign (1:39).

Saad logged a shorthanded assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.
