EDGE Analysis

Necas got the Hurricanes within a goal with 4:31 left in the third period, but the comeback effort stalled out. The 24-year-old has maintained a modest pace early on with a goal, an assist, six shots and a minus-3 rating through three contests. Necas remains in a top-six role and should continue to have plenty of chances to contribute.
