Neighbours scored the game-winning goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
After not scoring a goal since Feb. 15, Neighbours was finally able to reach the 20-goal milestone as he potted the game-winner on the power play in the second period. It was his seventh power-play marker of the season and only the eighth of his young career. The 20-year old winger has plenty of offensive potential but his inconsistency shows that he is still adjusting to the NHL.

Neighbors tallied a power-play goal on two shots during Saturday's 3-0 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
This was Neighbors' third power-play goal of the season and the fourth of his short NHL career. He parked himself in front of the net and tipped a Justin Faulk slap shot over Charlie Lindgren to give his team a three-goal lead late in the third period. The 2020 first-round draft pick was selected to be a goal scorer and he has proven that, scoring 13 goals with only 3 assists on the year. Neighbors is currently in a slump, producing only three points in his past 10 games.

Neighbours scored a goal and finished with a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours has now recorded 11 goals and two assists through 31 games. The 21-year-old logged 14:40 of ice time in this divisional win, which is on par for his average this season. We'd like to see more consistent ice time before feeling comfortable with Neighbours as a fantasy option, but his goal-scoring production is certainly intriguing for the youngster.

Neighbours scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours had gone two games without a goal to open December, his longest drought in over two weeks. The 21-year-old had the Blues' first goal in this game, giving him eight tallies and one assist over his last 10 contests. He's up to 10 goals, one assist, 41 shots on net, 37 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 25 contests overall. He could stick in a top-line role as long as his offense is hot, though he's also been converting at a 33.3 percent rate lately, an unsustainable pace for even the best of scorers.

Neighbours scored a pair of goals in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours buried a rebound to extend the Blues' lead to 3-0 in the first period before adding a second tally early in the third. The 21-year-old winger has been on a tear, scoring seven goals in his last seven games. Neighbours has already set a new career high with nine goals and 10 points through his first 22 games this season while earning a top-line role in St. Louis.

Neighbours scored two goals on three shots while adding four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first multi-goal game of the 21-year-old's brief NHL career, and Sunday's performance continues a hot streak that has seen Neighbours find the back of the net five times in the last five contests. The 26th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft has never been a big goal-scorer -- even in his best junior season, he managed only 23 goals in 64 games for WHL Edmonton -- but he's worked his way onto the top line and top power-play unit for St. Louis. His current pace is likely sustainable, but Neighbours is still emerging as an intriguing fantasy asset in his second official NHL season.
