Dvorak scored a goal on one shot and added two PIM in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to Florida.
EDGE Analysis
Rem Pitlick found Dvorak, who had just scrambled back to his skates after getting knocked down in front of the Florida goal, and he slipped the puck past Sergei Bobrovsky on the goalie's short-side. The goal tied the game after Montreal scrambled back from a 4-1 deficit, but the Panthers controlled the rest of the game. For Dvorak, it was the fourth consecutive game with a point and his ninth goal in 41 games this season.

EDGE Analysis
Dvorak set up Rem Pitlick for the game-tying goal in the final minute of regulation.

The 26-year-old forward is at 19 points, 64 shots, 44 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating in 40 contests, mainly serving in a middle-six role as a center.

Dvorak (upper body) was activated from injured reserve and will play Thursday against visiting Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Dvorak missed 19 games with the injury but is finally able to return for his first game action under new head coach Martin St. Louis. With 16 points in 34 games this year, Dvorak likely won't be knocking off his career-high 38 set back in 2019-20 with the Coyotes. That said, he's flashed some scoring prowess this season -- posting four points in his last four games and a six-in-six streak back in November -- so it'll be interesting to see what he can do in the final seven weeks of the campaign.
