Zary scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Zary's tally tied the game at 2-2 late in the second period. He has a goal and an assist over his last two games to shake off a three-game slump. The 23-year-old center is up to six goals, 14 points, 57 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 28 appearances. Zary is still working on consistency at the NHL level, but he's producing enough offense to be worth a look in deeper redraft formats while retaining plenty of value in keeper and dynasty leagues.

Zary notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Zary had been held off the scoresheet in the previous three games. He snapped the slump by setting up a Matthew Coronato tally in the second period to tie the game at 2-2. The 23-year-old Zary has dropped down the lineup over the last couple of games, centering the third line instead of the top line. He's at 13 points (six on the power play), 54 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 27 outings. The Flames have rarely settled on line combinations for long, so Zary could get a larger role again in the near future.

Zary scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Zary has a four-game point streak (two goals, two assists), and he's earned a power-play point in each of the last three contests. The 23-year-old seems to be settling into a top-six role at center, though the Flames have shuffled line combinations frequently this season. Zary is at 12 points (five on the power play), 49 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 23 appearances.

Zary notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Zary has a goal and two power-play helpers during his three-game point streak. The 23-year-old has bounced between center and the wing this season, and he was playing down the middle Monday between Jonathan Huberdeau and Blake Coleman. Zary is up to 11 points (four on the power play), 47 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 22 contests, putting him on pace to surpass his 34-point rookie season if he stays healthy.

Zary scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Zary has struggled to find consistent offense with just two tallies over his last 12 outings. The Flames shuffled their lines and had the 23-year-old between Jonathan Huberdeau and Blake Coleman for this game. Zary is now at four goals, nine points, 45 shots, 13 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 20 appearances. Fantasy managers in redraft formats should keep an eye on where he's lining up, but he's won't be a must-have player until he contribute more regularly.

Zary scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Zary collected a fluky bounce and beat a screened Sam Montembeault to put Calgary up 1-0 early in the second period. The tally snapped a nine-game run without a marker for the top-line winger. The 24-year-old Zary has three goals and five assists through 13 outings.

Zary notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
While the Flames' lines are roughly even in quality, Zary has found success in middle-six minutes alongside Blake Coleman and Mikael Backlund. Zary's helper Thursday came on a Jake Bean goal. Through seven outings, Zary has two goals, four assists, 15 shots on net, six blocked shots, five hits and a plus-2 rating. Given the defensive qualities of his linemates, the 23-year-old will often find himself matched up with tough competition, but so far, he's holding his own.

Zary notched a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Zary extended his point streak to four games (two goals, three assists) with his second power-play point of the campaign. The 23-year-old has added seven shots on net, three hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. Zary has the potential for a breakout campaign in his second season, especially if he continues to find success playing alongside Mikael Backlund and Blake Coleman.

Zary scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Zary finished off the win with 24 seconds left in regulation. He's found the scoresheet in all three games this season, earning two goals, two assists, seven shots on net, three hits and a plus-2 rating. The 23-year-old forward saw 20:14 of ice time Sunday and should continue to be a key part of the Flames' offense, which has been surprisingly effective over the first week of the season.

Zary notched an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Zary has three points, five shots on net and a plus-2 rating through two games. He's gelling well with possession-based forwards in Mikael Backlund and Blake Coleman. The 23-year-old Zary logged 34 points in 63 regular-season appearances as a rookie last season, but the focus in his sophomore season will be staying consistent throughout the campaign.
