EDGE Analysis

After a nine-game point-less drought, Petry has two goals and as assist in his last three games. The Ann Arbor native has 12 points through 29 games, a career-best .41 points-per-game pace. His plus-7 rating is a career high while he's among the team leaders in hits and blocks. The 29-year-old is not the first player you think of when considering a Montreal defenseman, but Petry is a blue-line sleeper that averages nearly two minutes of power-play ice time per game.
