Petry scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Petry extended his point streak to five games, during which he has four goals and an assist. He's the first defenseman in the NHL to reach 10 goals this year, doing so in only 25 games. The 33-year-old has stood out with 24 points, 68 shots on net, 40 hits and a plus-16 rating in 2020-21. Should Ben Chiarot (hand) miss any extra time, the Canadiens will need Petry to help fill the void defensively.

Petry scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked a pair of shots in Monday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Petry's first-period marker looked to be all the scoring in the game until Adam Gaudette equalized for the Canucks late in the third. The 33-year-old Petry is up to nine goals, 23 points, 63 shots on net, 38 hits, 28 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating in 24 appearances. He's tied with the Canucks' Quinn Hughes for second in scoring among defensemen -- one point behind the Lightning's Victor Hedman. Petry hasn't gone more than two games without a point in 2020-21. It may be a long shot, but Petry could earn some Norris Trophy buzz if he can keep this level of play up for another two months. His solid surface numbers are backed up by strong advanced starts. The Canadiens have a 57.5 percent share of the shot attempts when Petry is on the ice at five-on-five, and he's helped them to a combined shooting and save percentage of 102.8 in those situations.

Petry scored a goal on two shots and had two blocked shots in Saturday's 7-1 win over Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
Petry slid down the blueline to get a better line and fired a wrister through traffic that Laurent Brossoit never saw to give Montreal its seventh goal of the game. It was the third consecutive game with a point for Petry, who has eight points (two goals, six assists) over the last nine games. He leads the Canadiens with 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) over 23 games.

Petry scored the game-winning goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Both points came in the second period as Montreal broke open a scoreless tie. Petry continues to produce at a career-best pace, and on the season the veteran blueliner has a stunning seven goals and 20 points through 21 contests.

Petry notched two assists, two shots on net and a pair of hits in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Petry had a hand in Joel Armia's second goal of the game and a second-period power-play tally by Tomas Tatar. While he was scoring at an unsustainable pace earlier in the campaign, Petry has cooled off to just four helpers in his last seven outings. He's still a strong fantasy option with 18 points (seven on the power play), 53 shots on net, 35 hits and a plus-12 rating through 19 appearances.

Petry had an assist, five shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Petry assisted on Corey Perry's game-tying goal in the third period, the defenseman's 10th assist of the season. His offense has fallen off of late, aligning with the team's overall scoring slumber. After starting with 13 points over the first 10 games, Petry has one goal and two assists over the last seven contests, in which the Canadiens have just 13 goals.

Petry had an assist, one shot and two hits in Saturday's 2-1 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Petry's wrist shot turned into Brendan Gallagher's game-winning goal late in the third period, giving Montreal its second win in the last five games. It's a stretch of games during which the Canadiens' offense has slumped -- they have just eight goals over that stretch -- which has slowed Petry's hot start. The assist was just his second point during the team's slump, but the defenseman continues to maintain a point-per-game pace with 15 points in 15 games.

Petry scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Senators. He added four shots on net, four hits and two blocked shots over 20:04 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
Petry opened the scoring with his second man-advantage goal and sixth overall. It went into the books as an unassisted marker, but Ottawa's Matt Murray was impacted by Corey Perry's screen. Even in this shortened 56-game season, Petry is well on his way to shatter career scoring marks. He currently ranks second among defenseman in scoring, behind Vancouver's Quinn Hughes (16 points).

Petry scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran blueliner came into this season with three straight 40-point campaigns, but Petry has taken his late-career breakout to a whole new level in 2020-21. He now has a dazzling five goals and 13 points through 10 games, and the 33-year-old has been a big factor in the Habs having one of the league's most potent offenses so far.
