Petry scored twice and added a power-play assist in Monday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Petry had four shots on goal, three hits and a plus-3 rating for a hearty stat line Monday. His first goal stood as the game-winner, and he added the Canadiens' fifth tally and a secondary helper on Tyler Toffoli's marker. The 33-year-old Petry is up to 10 points (three goals, seven helpers), a plus-10 rating, 23 shots, 14 hits and 12 blocked shots through nine outings. He's only lacking in PIM -- he's yet to take a penalty this season, but fantasy managers won't mind that too much give his other production.

Petry had an assist, one shot on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Petry picked up the primary assist on Shea Weber's power-play goal in the first period. He was shut out in Montreal's previous game, but bounced back on the scoresheet, the sixth time in seven contests that Petry recorded at least one point. He's currently ranked tied for third among defensemen with eight points, including four on the power play.

Petry posted a power-play assist, four shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Petry kept his point streak alive late with the primary helper on Ben Chiarot's third-period marker. That gives Petry four goals and three helpers in five games, a spectacular start to the season for the 33-year-old blueliner. He's added a plus-6 rating, 13 shots on net and eight blocked shots to round out his play.

Petry notched an assist, two hits and a pair of blocked shots in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
With four goals and two assists through four contests, Petry is one of 10 players at six points so far this season. The 33-year-old defenseman leads all NHL blueliners in points, although he's far from a lock to keep up this pace much longer. Petry also has 10 shots on net, eight blocked shots, seven hits and a plus-3 rating in 2020-21 -- even when his scoring cools off, his non-scoring production could help him maintain a high floor for fantasy value.

Petry posted a shorthanded assist in Monday's 3-1 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
What, no multi-point game? Petry has been a frequent name on the scoresheet with five points through the Canadiens' first three contests. The veteran defenseman has gotten it done in all situations, with two power-play points and now one while shorthanded. In non-scoring numbers, he has eight shots on net, six blocked shots and five hits. While this level of production is unsustainable, Petry's posted at least 40 points in each of the last three seasons and should reach the 30-point mark in a shortened 2020-21 campaign.

Petry scored twice in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
The first came on the power play; the second came on a long shot from the blue line that hit an Oilers defender and bounced into the net. Petry has a remarkable four points (two goals, two assists) in his first two games. If he does this for a couple more games, you should find a way to trade him to another manager -- Petry has had three straight seasons of at least 40 points, but this is unsustainable.

Petry picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Both helpers came in the first period as Montreal grabbed a 2-1 lead, but Petry and the rest of the team's blue line wasn't able to contain Toronto's high-flying offense over the final 40 minutes. The veteran defenseman has recorded double-digit goals and 40-plus points in three straight seasons, and he's off to a good start to extend his streak to four at least in the latter category.

Petry agreed to terms on a four-year, $25 million contract extension with Montreal on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Petry ended the season bogged down in a seven-game pointless streak as the Habs were bounced from the playoffs. The 31-year-old blueliner is coming off his third straight 40-point campaign while also reaching the 10-goal mark and logging over 23 minutes of ice time per night. The deal will keep Petry under contract through the 2024-25 season.

Petry scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Penguins in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Petry has become Mr. Clutch for the Canadiens in the playoffs -- he's tallied the winner in Games 1 and 3 while adding an assist in a Game 2 loss. The 32-year-old defenseman should continue to see top-four usage given his recent success on the scoresheet.

Petry notched an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Penguins in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Petry picked up his second point in as many games with a helper on Jesperi Kotkaniemi's third-period tally. The 32-year-old Petry has added 10 hits and three blocks through two games in the series. With his third consecutive 40-point campaign under his belt, the blueliner produces a strong mix of offense and physical play.
