EDGE Analysis
Pezzetta had the primary assist on Rafael Harvey-Pinard's second-period tally to tie the game at two goals apiece. It was an assist emblematic of the hard-working forward, who dived at loose puck in front of the goal and was still prone on the ice when Harvey-Pinard tallied. Offense is not his forte, but Pezzetta averages 3.32 hits per game, if that can be of use to fantasy teams. Often a healthy scratch, the 24-year-old forward has played four straight (23 hits), as the Canadiens deal with numerous injuries at forward. He should be a lineup regular for the next few weeks.
