Saad (upper body) is expected to be sidelined versus Edmonton on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
With a back-to-back on the schedule, Saad should probably be considered doubtful, at best, to suit up versus Nashville on Thursday, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. The Pittsburgh native remains pointless through his first three contests of the season but should still be capable of pushing for the 40-point threshold.

Saad notched an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Wild in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Saad helped out on Tyler Bozak's second-period tally. In six playoff contests, Saad has a goal, two assists, 10 shots on net and a plus-1 rating. His 13:08 of ice time Thursday was his lowest in any game in the first round, which suggests he may continue to see bottom-six usage as the Blues face his former team, the Avalanche, in the second round.

Saad scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Wild in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Saad tied the game at 2-2 with his goal 15:28 into the second period. This was his first point since an assist in Game 1. The 29-year-old winger hasn't been very involved on offense, adding only 10 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through five playoff contests despite playing in a top-six role.

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.
EDGE Analysis
Saad set up Ryan O'Reilly for an empty-net goal with 1:15 left in the game. With a goal and five assists in his last six outings, Saad is rolling at the right time for fantasy managers. The 29-year-old winger has 42 points, 132 shots on net and a plus-13 rating in 66 contests. With a top-six role, he's worth a look in DFS, especially with the Blues rolling on offense again.
