Petry had an assist, three shots on net, two hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Petry had an inadvertent assist when a shot deflected off his body and triggered a sequence that led to Alexander Romanov's third-period tally. It was Petry's eighth point in the last 11 games, a scoring surge that could be enough to lift his value leading into the March 21 trade deadline. Until this recent stretch, Petry's hefty contract and unproductive season made him immovable. Even with the scoring surge, the Canadiens would likely have to retain a portion of Petry's salary on their books in order to trade him.
