Spezza potted the game-winning goal on the power play in Monday's Game 6 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

The former Senator piled on the last of three goals in the first period, which prompted the yanking of Brian Elliott from the Blues' crease. Spezza has been the real deal in 12 games this postseason, ringing up 13 points, two-game winning goals and a healthy 30 shots on goal, which has been a godsend for the Stars given the extended absence of superstar sniper Tyler Seguin (lower body).

Spezza scored for the third straight game and added three assists in Sunday's series-clinching Game 6 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Spezza has been huge for the Stars this postseason, racking up nine points in six games. The 32-year-old is a talented sniper who built off his 33-goal debut season with Dallas and carried the strong play into the playoffs. Look for Spezza, who has 22 shots on goal thus far, to continue playing a key role for the Stars in their playoff run.

Spezza paced the Dallas attack with a goal and an assist during Wednesday's 3-2 win in Minnesota despite seeing a series-low 14:31 of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

Spezza met his series average with 22 shifts, but they were consistently considerably shorter, which is why he logged over three minutes less than his previous low in ice time. The veteran forward has a pair of two-point games and a pair of clunkers so far, but his two goals and two assists in four playoff games represent a sustainable pace following a 33-goal, 30-assist campaign.

Spezza lit the lamp on six shots and tacked on a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-0 victory over the Wild in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Spezza is no stranger to the postseason, as the 32-year-old has appeared in 56 contests (all with Ottawa) coming into Thursday's matchup with Minnesota. In that span, the center notched 52 points, and if you throw in his 33 markers and 30 apples this year, it's almost as if you expect Spezza to reach the scoresheet in Game 1. Well, he did just that, and the veteran is poised to help lead Dallas on a run to the Stanley Cup.

Spezza notched a hat trick -- one power-play goal -- in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Wait, Spezza was supposed to have an illness? The 32-year-old showed no ill-effects, registering his second hat trick of the year to polish out the regular season. The veteran center ends just one shy of tying his career-high 34 tallies, but he did eclipse his 62-point total from last year's first campaign with Dallas. Spezza looks hungry for more as the Stars prepare for the playoffs.

Spezza is dealing with an illness that will prevent him from playing Thursday night.

EDGE Analysis

With no shortage of fantasy players chasing their respective titles, a Spezza absence has significant implications. The veteran forward has 30 goals and 30 assists in 74 games, along with 23 points on the man advantage this season. Jason Dickinson reportedly has been called up from the minors and will make his NHL debut since Spezza will be held out.

Spezza tallied an assist in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Spezza helped get Dallas on the board with under 90 seconds to go, but it ultimately wasn't enough. The 32-year-old has been working at virtually the point-per-game pace since the start of March, grabbing 15 points in 16 contests in that span. The late surge has gotten Spezza to the 60-point plateau for the third straight season and eighth time overall.

Spezza recorded a goal and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Spezza ended a four-game scoreless streak, and has now scored in two straight games. He's also got nine goals and four assists in his last 13 games. In those 13 games, he's put the puck on the net 39 times, showing that he's playing aggressive as ever and should be started on a nightly basis.

Spezza notched a power-play helper in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Spezza now has four months in the season where he was able to hit double-digit points, amassing 10 and counting in March. The 32-year-old has slowed down a bit in terms of finding twine -- scored in six straight to start the month -- but remains a threat to light the lamp in any given contest. The 2001 No. 2 pick should have no issues reaching 60 points for the third straight season, sitting at 55 to date.

Spezza didn't register a point, but led the team with five shots in Tuesday's loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

The goalless game ends Spezza's six-game goal streak. However, his offensive surge isn't at an end. He still led the team in shots and was tied for the lead in shot attempts at six. Spezza should still be considered hot right now.
