Saad produced a shorthanded assist in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Saad set up Robert Thomas' tally at 15:29 of the second period. The 29-year-old Saad picked up an assist in each of the Blues' two games versus the Canucks this week, so he may be sad to see the season series between the teams end. The winger is up to 38 points, 124 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 62 contests -- he's earned nine points on the power play and three more while shorthanded.

Saad recorded an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Saad had the secondary helper on Oskar Sundqvist's third-period tally. The 29-year-old Saad has done well in a middle-six role since the start of January, racking up three goals and eight assists in 14 games. For the season, the veteran winger has 26 points, 92 shots on net and a plus-2 rating in 42 appearances -- he was limited to 24 points in 44 outings with the Avalanche last season.

Saad scored a pair of goals, dished a power-play assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Saad opened the scoring at 6:15 of the first period and added another tally in the second. He also set up Ryan O'Reilly's power-play goal late in the final frame. This was Saad's third multi-point effort in his last six outings. The winger is up to 15 goals, 10 assists, 88 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 39 contests overall. While he's often played in a middle-six role this year, the depth of the Blues' offense should be enough to keep him on the fantasy radar.

He has 13 goals, nine assists, 85 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 37 appearances this season.

Saad logged an assist in Friday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
After starting December with a three-game goal streak, Saad has been limited to just two points in his last 10 outings. That extended slump likely factored into his demotion to the third line Friday, where he helped out on an Oskar Sundqvist tally. Through 31 games overall, Saad has 16 points, 71 shots on net and a minus-6 rating. With players like Ivan Barbashev and Jordan Kyrou in significantly better scoring form, Saad will have to earn his way back into a top-six role.

Saad scored two goals -- one on the power play -- to go with six shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Saad got the scoring started with the extra man in the first period. He later snuffed out any hopes of a Sharks comeback by responding just 2:01 after Jonathan Dahlen had cut the Blues' lead to one goal in the second period. The veteran winger ended a five-game point drought in style here, and Saad's six goals through 12 games have him on pace to easily reach the 20-goal mark for the sixth time in the past eight seasons.
