Pageau scored a goal while finishing with a plus-1 rating in Sunday's 4-2 loss against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau enters the postseason with goals in back-to-back games, and a total of two goals and four points with a plus-4 rating over his past four outings. While he isn't a mainstay in most seasonal fantasy formats, he will be a decent depth option in postseason pools.

Pageau recorded his 100th career point in Saturday's game against the Rangers, the 36th player in franchise history to reach the milestone.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau finished with a goal, assist and plus-2 rating in Saturday's home finale. A lot of Pageau's career output has been over his past two seasons, lighting the lamp 30 times with 45 assists and a plus-29 rating since the start of the 2015-16 NHL campaign.

Pageau scored the Senators only goal in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau has just 29 points in 74 games this season, but he's warming up with six points (three goals, three assists) in his last 10 outings. Pageau may be an easy grab off the wire in some formats if you need to fill an injury in the bottom half of your roster.

Pageau contributed a goal and an assist Thursday in Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau's second-period goal came just 41 seconds after Brendan Perlini opened the scoring for the Coyotes. He also tied Erik Karlsson for the team lead with six shots, and drew the lone helper on the skilled blueliner's equalizer in the third period of a 3-2 overtime win. Pageau has quietly scored in three straight after totaling just six goals in the first 63 games.

Pageau has managed six goals and 20 points through 53 games, well off last season's pace when he scored 19 goals and 43 points. However, he has been asked to shadow the top opponent's skater, and coach Guy Boucher is excited about his play as a defensive forward, Ken Warren of The Ottawa Citizen reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau has been doing the little things like win faceoffs, play strong defense and collect occasional hits. It's not the kind of thing that fantasy owners get a lot of points, but it is extremely valuable to his real team. Pageau's coach is pleased with his effort, so do not look for a change in the near future. As such, Pageau's fantasy appeal remains limited to deeper pools, especially those formats rewarding wins in the face-off circle.

Pageau snapped a six-game point drought with a shorthanded assist during Thursday's win over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
After climbing the depth chart and registering 19 goals and 43 points last season, Pageau is back to a third-line role and providing limited offensive numbers. He has just five goals and 19 points through 52 games, after all. There aren't many settings where Pageau is moving the fantasy needle, including in daily contests.

Pageau filled the scoresheet with a goal, an assist, a plus-2 rating and two PIM in Tuesday's victory over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
He'd been scuffling over his last six games, netting just a lonely assist. In fact, Pageau's overall production -- just 16 points in 42 games -- has dropped sharply despite his ice time having dropped only slightly relative to last year. The biggest difference has been a total lack of the shorthanded production that defined his 2015-16; he netted seven goals and two assists while killing penalties last year, but the gritty center has no points at all in those situations this year.

Pageau notched two assists, a plus-1 rating and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The points haven't flowed freely for Pageau this year, so it's nice to see him deliver an inspired effort. Despite Pageau's ice time being fairly unchanged this year, he hasn't produced nearly the offense we saw out of him last season (43 points). It seems fair to say, though, that the 24-year-old pivot is neither as good as he was last year nor as bad as he's been this year; his true level lies somewhere in the middle.

Pageau registered an assist during Tuesday's 4-3 win against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau is quietly enjoying his best month of the season, notching a goal and four helpers through 10 games. The 24-year-old is on ice for an average of over 16 minutes per contest in the bottom six, translating to 11 points on the year. He may not reach last year's 19-goal total, but Pageau has already launched toward net 60 times after accumulating 133 in 2015-16.

Pageau scored a goal and added an assist -- both in the third period -- during Wednesday's win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau climbed the depth chart while Kyle Turris was out last season, and Pageau flashed offensive upside and finished the campaign with 19 goals and 43 helpers. Unfortunately, he's been relegated back to a bottom-six role and it's hurt his production. Even after Wednesday's multi-point showing, Pageau has just four goals and nine points through 27 games. That isn't enough offense to move the fantasy needle in the majority of formats.
