Saad scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Saad's two goals this season have come in the last two games. His tally Saturday came midway through the first period, though the Blues only held that initial lead for a minute. He's added eight shots on net, six hits and a minus-2 rating in seven contests. Saad is looking more comfortable since returning from an upper-body injury, which is good news for the Blues' struggling offense.

Saad contributed a goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
It was Saad's first goal and point in six games this season. He was only playing in his third game since returning from an upper-body injury. He's a good forward getting top-six minutes, so he should improve as the season goes on.

Saad (upper body) is expected to suit up versus Boston on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Saad is poised to link up with the first line, alongside Ryan O'Reilly and Ivan Barbashev, in addition to slotting into the No. 1 power-play unit. The 30-year-old Saad went pointless in his first three games before sustaining his upper-body injury but should still be capable of reaching both the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds this season, marks he achieved last season.
