Petry had an assist, three shots on net, two hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Petry had an inadvertent assist when a shot deflected off his body and triggered a sequence that led to Alexander Romanov's third-period tally. It was Petry's eighth point in the last 11 games, a scoring surge that could be enough to lift his value leading into the March 21 trade deadline. Until this recent stretch, Petry's hefty contract and unproductive season made him immovable. Even with the scoring surge, the Canadiens would likely have to retain a portion of Petry's salary on their books in order to trade him.

Miller's goal that broke a 2-2 tie early in the third period.

EDGE Analysis

Petry was reported to be dealing with a minor injury as of Monday, but it won't cost him playing time. The 34-year-old will play on the second defense pairing and should also draw some power-play time. He's picked up three goals and four assists in his last nine outings.

EDGE Analysis

Montreal's next game is Wednesday against Vancouver, so Petry could have enough time to heal without missing any time. The veteran blueliner has 13 points with a minus-9 rating this season. If he's out Wednesday, Corey Schueneman will likely jump into the lineup.

It's been a rough year for the veteran defenseman, but he's looked more like himself with three goals and four helpers in his last eight outings. For the year, he's at 13 points, 72 shots on net, 108 hits, 65 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 48 contests.

EDGE Analysis

Petry's wrist shot from the point eluded Ilya Sorokin to give Montreal a 1-0 lead midway through the first period. Much of the credit for the goal goes to Michael Pezzetta and Ryan Poehling, both of whom doggedly battled for the pack behind the New York net. For Petry, it was his third straight game with a point and second time in three games with a goal. Any sort of life he shows now could help general manager Kent Hughes move Petry before the trade deadline.

EDGE Analysis

Petry, who's registered 40-plus points in four consecutive seasons, has severely undershot expectations in 2021-22. Thursday's effort may have been his best of the season.

After being the secondary helper on Montreal's first goal, Petry provided the primary assistance on Cole Caufield's game-winner in overtime.
