EDGE Analysis
Dvorak is set to miss his third consecutive contest due to his lingering lower-body issue. There has been no update on the winger's timeline or the severity of his injury, so fantasy players will have to take a wait-and-see approach for now. Prior to his absence, Dvorak had notched eight points in his previous 12 contests, including three of goals.

Dvorak scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
This was Dvorak's third multi-point outing in his last seven games, but he's gone scoreless in the other four contests in that span. The 27-year-old is up to 10 tallies, 27 points, 82 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 60 appearances. He should continue to see middle-six minutes.

Dvorak scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Both points came in the third period as Montreal broke open a tight contest. Dvorak has lit the lamp in back-to-back games for the first time in 2022-23, but the 27-year-old has yet to collect a point in more than three straight, so it seems unlikely this mini-surge will last much longer. Through 54 games on the season, Dvorak has nine goals and 23 points.
