Saad scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
His first-period tally snapped a three-game point drought. Saad's production this season has been right in line with his usual scoring pace -- he's at 23 goals, 47 points, 150 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 75 contests. He'll have to heat up a little bit in the final week of the season to achieve a fourth 50-point campaign.

Saad logged an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
