Petry assisted on Tyler Toffoli's power-play goal in the first period, then he drew helpers on Phillip Danault's game-tying tally and Cole Caufield's overtime winner. Petry has exploded for five points in his first two contests to open the month of May, and the veteran defenseman is riding a five-game point streak (one goal, seven assists) heading into a Wednesday clash with Ottawa.

Petry had a goal, an assist, four shots, three hits and one blocked shot in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Petry was active all night, but his impact was most felt over the final 15 minutes of the game. He got Montreal on the board midway through the third period, then set up rookie Cole Caufield in overtime for the win. It was the fourth straight game with at least one point for Petry, who has a goal and four assists during that run. Petry has 12 goals in 50 games this season and needs one more to match the career high he set in 2018 over 82 games.

Petry had an assist, three shots on net and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Petry slid the primary apple to Nick Suzuki for Montreal's lone goal. This was the 11th time in 13 contests that the Canadiens scored two goals or fewer. Petry has held up during that slumber, posting six assists, and he has four helpers over the last five games. He needs six points in the final eight games to record a fourth straight 40-point season.

EDGE Analysis
Petry had a hand in Artturi Lehkonen's first-period tally and Josh Anderson's go-ahead goal in the second period. The 33-year-old Petry has seen his offense go a bit cold in April, with just five assists and a minus-10 rating in his last 12 games. He's at 32 points, 107 shots on net, a plus-5 rating, 82 hits and 51 blocked shots through 44 contests overall.

Petry had an assist, two shots on net, two hits and one blocked shot in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck prepared to play Petry's dump in behind the net, but it took a crazy bounce. Paul Byron was the beneficiary of the puck luck and slid the rubber past a diving goalie, giving Petry his second assist in the last three games. If honorable mentions were awarded on goals, Petry would have received one on the Canadiens' other goal; he triggered the entry from the neutral zone that eventually set up Phillip Danault's first-period marker. Petry's scoring pace has slowed of late -- four assists over the last 10 games -- but his 29 points in 37 games represents the best point-per-game production of his career.

Petry notched two power-play assists in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
He helped set up Corey Perry for the game's opening goal early in the first period, then fed Nick Suzuki for the tying tally inside the final minute with Jake Allen pulled from the Montreal net to create a 6-on-4. Petry had four goals in his prior seven games but remarkably no assists, so Friday's effort restored some balance to his production. The veteran blueliner continues to fly towards a career-best season with 11 goals and 27 points through 30 contests.

Petry scored a goal on his only shot and added a pair of hits Saturday in a 3-1 loss to Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
Petry sniped a shot from the bottom of the left circle that found just enough space inside the near post, getting the Canadiens on the board 14:20 into the second period. It was Petry's 11th goal of the season, tops among NHL defensemen. Petry, who has 25 points in 27 games, needs to light the lamp two more times to match the career-high 13 goals he scored in 2018-19.
