Dvorak scored a goal during Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the visiting Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Following two early goals by the Flyers on Saturday, Dvorak injected some life into the Canadiens' lineup with his first goal since recording a hat trick against the Blues on Oct. 29. Positioned by the right post, the 26-year-old defenseman jammed in a loose puck at 4:07 of the first period. Dvorak, who contributed two shots and two blocks in the comeback win Saturday, has collected five points in his past six outings.

Dvorak registered two assists in a 6-4 loss to Columbus on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Dvorak has three goals and eight points in 17 games this season. It's worth noting that all three of those goals can be traced back to when he had a hat trick Oct. 29. Outside of that one amazing game, he hasn't done a whole lot offensively this season. To make matters worse, he only averaged 13:15 of ice time Thursday, including a mere 0:03 on the power play. He was logging 16:03 this season going into Thursday's contest, so while this was a productive game for him, if his role is on the decline then his long-term fantasy value might be limited.
