Zary scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Zary helped out on MacKenzie Weegar's equalizer in the third period. In overtime, Zary danced around the Canucks' defense and goalie Arturs Silovs to net the game-winning tally. The 23-year-old is off to a good start in 2024-25 as he looks to take on a prominent role for the Flames. He began the season on a line with Mikael Backlund and Blake Coleman, but Zary could get more minutes later in the year if he moves to center. As a rookie last year, he produced 34 points and 90 shots on net in 63 appearances while averaging 15:16 of ice time.

Zary logged an assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Zary had a strong finish in 2023-24, posting two goals and two helpers over the final five contests. The 22-year-old rookie had a solid campaign with 14 goals, 20 helpers, 90 shots on net and a plus-12 rating while seeing middle-six minutes for much of the year. Zary is one of the Flames' top prospects and will look to take a step forward in 2024-25, giving him appeal as a depth option in most fantasy formats if he can improve his power-play production and shoot the puck more often.

Zary scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Zary's tally late in the second period held as the game-winner after the Ducks' comeback fell short. The 22-year-old has a goal and an assist over the last two contests, and he's looked fairly comfortable in his first few games at center in the NHL.

Zary produced an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Zary snapped a five-game dry spell with his helper on Jonathan Huberdeau's tally in the third period. The 22-year-old Zary has been getting some reps at center late in the season after beginning the year on the wing. He's at 12 goals, 19 assists, 84 shots on net and a plus-13 rating through 59 outings as a rookie. Zary figures to be in contention for a top-six job in 2024-25.

Zary posted an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Zary's first point in three games since he returned from an upper-body injury. He's been back in his usual spot alongside Nazem Kadri, so there's still potential for Zary to get his game on track late in the campaign. The 22-year-old rookie has 30 points, 71 shots on net and a plus-16 rating through 53 appearances.

Zary had one blocked shot and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the last eight games with an upper body injury, Zary returned to his regular spot on the first line centered by Nazem Kadri. Zary remains a player to watch, especially in deeper leagues. The 22-year-old rookie's offensive talent is undeniable, but consider him a boom-or-bust option for now, with the potential to become a solid fantasy contributor in the future as he continues to develop.
