Zary scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Zary's effectiveness on offense has waned over the last couple of weeks. He went eight games without a goal, picking up four assists in that span, which is still solid work for a rookie thrust into a top-six role. The 22-year-old has four goals, seven helpers, 21 shots on net, six PIM and a plus-3 rating through 15 contests overall.

Zary provided an assist and two PIM in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Zary helped out on A.J. Greer's game-tying goal in the third period. While Zary has gone six games without a goal, he's posted four assists in that span. He's cooled off a bit from his four-game point streak to begin his NHL career, but the 22-year-old winger continues to be a positive for an inconsistent roster. He has 10 points, 15 shots on net, four PIM and a plus-3 rating through 12 contests overall.

Zary posted an assist in Friday's 7-4 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Zary missed one game with a lower-body injury, but he was able to handle 15:14 of ice time in his return. He made a highlight-reel pass to set up Mikael Backlund on the Flames' sixth goal. Zary is up to nine points, 14 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 10 appearances. His production has been a boost for the Flames, and it's likely he'll hang onto a middle-six role for the foreseeable future.

Zary is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

Zary (undisclosed) is "a little banged up" and is not projected to play Wednesday versus the Predators, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Zary saw just 11:07 of ice time in Monday's game versus the Kraken due to the lingering injury. The 22-year-old's absence allows Adam Ruzicka to get back into the lineup on the fourth line, while Dillon Dube will get a look alongside Nazem Kadri and Martin Pospisil.

Zary had two assists Saturday in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Zary has eight points, including five helpers, in his first eight games. Since his Nov. 1 debut, he has put up the same number of points as Hawks rookie pivot and phenom, Connor Bedard (five goals, three assists in six games). Zary had an excellent AHL season last year (57 points; 72 games) and has really clicked with line mate Nazem Kadri. It will be hard for him to sustain this level of play, but the talent is real.

Zary scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
All the game's scoring came in the second period, and Zary decided the contest by parking in front of Sam Montembeault and tapping home a slick feed from Rasmus Andersson. The 24th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, Zary has gotten his career with the Flames off to a flying start with three goals and six points in six games since being promoted from AHL Calgary at the beginning of November, and the 22-year-old also led all Flames forwards in ice time on the power play Tuesday. His fantasy stock is soaring, and while he may not maintain a point-per-game pace, his strong two-way game and top-shelf hockey IQ should quickly make him a fixture in the lineup.

Zary scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Zary has yet to be held off the scoresheet, racking up two goals and two helpers through his four NHL appearances. The winger tallied off a Nazem Kadri pass in the first period. Zary has added 10 shots on net, three hits and a plus-2 rating while looking solid in a second-line role.

Zary notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Zary helped out on Nazem Kadri's empty-net goal in the third period. Those two, along with Yegor Sharangovich, combined for five points as the Flames' best line in the game. Zary has a goal and two helpers over three contests, and after playing 18:56 in Tuesday's win, including 3:43 on the power play, his arrow is pointing straight up.
