Vrbata handed out a pair of assists -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off a brutal season with Vancouver, expectations were low for Vrbata in his return to the desert for his third stint as a Coyote, but he's rattled off a solid four goals and nine points through 12 games. He's also gone plus-2 despite playing for a last-place Coyotes team that owns a minus-9 goal differential. Don't overreact to the veteran's good start, but there's clearly some value to be found here in deeper formats.
