Erat scored the Coyotes' only goal in Saturday's loss to the Bruins. Don't look know, but he's on a three-game point streak (one goal, two assists). And his 29 points (nine goals, 20 assists) have come in 61 games -- that's a slight step up from his abysmal 29 points in 70 games last year. His fantasy best looks pretty small in the rearview mirror at this point in his career.

Erat picked up an assist on the power play Thursday in a 4-3 loss to the Rangers. He added one shot, four hits, and two blocks in the game. Erat has been a passable depth forward for the Coyotes this year with 28 points in 60 games. It will be interesting to see if the pending UFA has done enough to play his way onto another team at the trade deadline.

Erat picked up an assist Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Lightning. He was plus-1 and added four hits and a blocked shot in the contest.Erat has three points in his past five games to bring him up to 26 on the season. He is one of a number of pending veteran free agents the Coyotes could look to move before the trade deadline, but even moving to greener pastures is not likely to give him a big performance boost at age 33.

Erat scored his eighth goal on the power play Friday in a 4-2 loss to San Jose. He was minus-1, took two shots on net, and blocked one in the contest.Erat has points in consecutive games to bring his season total to 25 in 54 games. Like many Coyotes he has an ugly plus/minus rating, minus-14 in his case, and with just 61 shots on the season it should be clear that he is an asset is just the deepest leagues.

Erat picked up an assist Tuesday in a loss to St. Louis. He also delivered three hits in the contest.Erat is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season and highly likely to be moved before the trade deadline. He has recovered from a disastrous performance last season to match his point total in 53 games. Some team is likely to pick him up for the stretch run.

Erat picked up an assist on the power play Sunday in a win over Montreal. He was minus-1 and took three shots, added two hits and a blocked shot in the game. Erat seems to have found a rhythm of late as he has four points in four games since sitting out consecutive games as a healthy scratch. His days as a 50-point producer are over, but with 23 points in 48 games the veteran Czech is on the verge of eclipsing his point total (24) from last year's disastrous season.

After sitting out as a healthy scratch in consecutive games, Erat scored a goal on five shots and added an assist over 19:07 of ice time Tuesday in a shootout loss to the Flyers. He'd gone minus-2 over his last two games while getting off zero shots on goal, prompting coach Dave Tippett to sit him down for a couple. Fantasy owners, however, should view this outing with some skepticism, considering Erat's modest total of 21 points in 45 games this year.

Erat appears on track to be a healthy scratch Tuesday against the Blackhawks, the second straight game he'll head to the press box, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports. Erat closed 2014 on a high note but has seen his production dry up in seven January contests, delivering no goals, two assists, and just three shot attempts. The 33-year-old doesn't fit the profile of somebody the rebuilding Coyotes want to carve out ice time for, so it wouldn't be surprising if he was traded prior to the deadline.

Erat registered an assist and spent two minutes in the penalty box in Saturday's triumph over the Blue Jackets. While not one of the more notable scorers on a night in which the Coyotes torched Sergei Bobrovsky for six scores, Erat has tallied a point in each of the team's four wins during their last five games. He's only managed six goals and 12 points over 38 games on the season, but his recent run of production makes him somewhat intriguing in deeper formats for the time being.

Erat scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-4 Tuesday against the Oilers. The veteran winger doesn't find the scoresheet reliably -- he'd managed just a lone assist over the prior seven games -- though his 30 PIM and 44 hits give him a shade of value in deep specialty formats.
