Zary scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Zary was on an 11-game slump prior to Sunday. He followed up on a second-chance play to score the Flames' go-ahead goal at 8:08 of the first period, just 35 seconds after Morgan Frost had tied the game. Zary was on the third line with Blake Coleman and Mikael Backlund in this contest, which is typically a good spot for a slumping forward to land. Zary has three points, 29 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-2 rating through 22 appearances. He'll need to find a lot more consistency to be an option in fantasy.

Zary's point drought reached 11 games in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

That stretch also includes a two-game stint as a healthy scratch, but that came as the calendar flipped from October to November. Zary's offense wasn't sparked by that, and he's been stuck in a bottom-six role while trying to get going. On the season, he has just two points with 28 shots on net, 14 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 21 appearances. He's in the first season of a three-year contract, but the 24-year-old needs to show a lot more on offense to be part of the Flames' long-term plans.

Zary scored a power-play goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Zary was able to knock down a rebound of an Adam Klapka shot, and it was upheld as a legal goal. The 24-year-old Zary has potted 27 goals over his first 117 career games, but now entering his third NHL campaign, he could be due for a breakout year. He was on the third line Wednesday and saw just 14:22 of ice time in the season opener, but a strong performance early in the year will likely lead to more ice time for the forward, especially given the lack of established high-end scorers in the Flames' lineup.

General manager Craig Conroy said all of the Flames' players are healthy for Thursday's first practice at training camp, indicating Zary (knee) has recovered from his injury, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zary signed a three-year deal in September as a restricted free agent. The 23-year-old had 27 points in 54 contests in his second NHL campaign, a small step back from his 34-point rookie season. Zary will be in contention for a top-six role this season, though it's not yet clear if he'll center his own line or play on the wing.

Zary (knee) inked a three-year, $11.325 million contract with Calgary on Friday, per Eric Francis of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Zary, who was a restricted free agent this summer, missed Calgary's final 11 games of 2024-25 due to his knee injury. He had 13 goals and 27 points in 54 appearances with the Flames as a sophomore last year, which represented a bit of a regression from his 34 points in 63 outings in 2023-24. Although his offensive numbers haven't stood out yet, the 23-year-old (24 on Sept. 25) does have the potential to improve meaningfully over the length of this contract. He should get a good opportunity to take a step forward in a top-six capacity this season.

Zary (knee) is expected to miss Thursday's season finale against the Kings, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Zary will conclude the season with 13 goals and 27 points in 54 appearances. That's a modest dip from his 34 points (14 goals) as a rookie in 2023-24, though he did log 63 outings in that campaign.

Zary (knee) won't play against Edmonton on Saturday and is week-to-week.

EDGE Analysis

Zary sustained the injury in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Dallas. He has registered 13 goals, 27 points and 111 shots on net in 54 appearances this season. Zary will be replaced in Saturday's lineup by Yegor Sharangovich.

Zary (knee) underwent an initial assessment that offered encouraging results, but he'll require further testing and imaging to determine the extent of his injury, Darren Dreger of TSN reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Zary sustained a left knee injury during Thursday's game against the Stars and appeared to be in considerable pain, so it's encouraging that he appeared to get at least some good news in the immediate aftermath. However, he also dealt with a left knee injury earlier in the season that forced him to miss 15 games, so his availability for the final three weeks of the regular season isn't yet clear. If Zary misses additional time, Yegor Sharangovich will likely draw into the lineup.

Zary suffered an apparent knee injury Thursday versus the Stars, and there was no update on his status following the game, Logan Gordon of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zary collided with Mikko Rantanen in the third period and was in agony on the ice. The injury was on Zary's left knee, which is the same one he hurt earlier in the campaign, leading to a 15-game absence. If the injury is as bad as it appeared this time around, he is likely to be shut down for at least the rest of the regular season. Yegor Sharangovich would likely return to the lineup in that case.

Zary scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Zary's goal at 6:50 of the third period was the first of four tallies in the frame for the Flames as they pulled off a comeback win. The 23-year-old also led all Calgary forwards with 21:57 of ice time. Zary has a goal and an assist, as well as nine shots, over two contests following a two-game suspension. He's at 13 goals, 26 points, 105 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 51 outings in 2024-25. Fantasy managers in need of a boost in points or shots should consider Zary for the final few weeks of the season.
