Saad recorded an assist and three shots on net during Wednesday's win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
While Saad has an uphill climb to match last season's 31-goal showing, he's on pace for his best campaign in the points column. In fact, among all skaters with at least 750 minutes at five-on-five this season, Saad's 2.47 points per 60 minutes rank fifth in the league. Unfortunately, despite averaging 1:36 of power-play time per game, he has just one goal and one assist with the man advantage. The power-play production could pick up down the stretch, but it's likely best viewed as a bonus and not expected. Still, Saad's already a go-to scorer and fantasy asset, and he's just entering his offensive prime.
