Necas recorded a pair of power-play assists and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
This was Necas' first multi-point effort since March 6. He has nine points over 10 games in that span, with seven of those points coming on the power play. The even-strength struggles have led to him switching places with Valeri Nichushkin in recent games, though Necas remains a productive player even in a second-line role. For the season, Necas is at 24 goals, 53 assists, 183 shots on net, 59 hits and a plus-8 rating over 72 outings between the Avalanche and the Hurricanes.

Necas scored a power-play goal and had three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win against the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Necas lit the lamp with a man advantage for Colorado's third goal of the game early in the second period. The 26-year-old forward has 24 goals, 75 points and 181 shots on net in 71 appearances this season. Necas has points in back-to-back games and 11 points in his last 12 outings. He has also been a strong presence on the Avalanche's top power-play unit with eight power-play tallies in that same span. While he has bounced around Colorado's lineup in different line combinations, he should always have either Nathan MacKinnon or Brock Nelson centering his line, giving him strong offensive outlets to share the puck with. Necas' 75 points are tied for 15th in the league in points and he has the chance to break the 80-point threshold by the end of the regular season for the first time in his career.

Necas scored a power-play goal and added eight shots on net in Sunday's 4-3 overtime victory against the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Necas lit the lamp with a man advantage just over halfway into the first period. His eight shots on goal tied his season-best total and is one behind his career best of nine shots on net in one game. Sunday's goal was his seventh since being acquired by Colorado and his 23rd of the season. His uptick in goals and higher shot volume has been assisted by skating alongside an elite playmaker in Nathan MacKinnon on Colorado's top line. Necas is having a career year with 73 points in 68 games. If he continues to score goals at this elevated rate alongside his great playmaking skills, Necas may end up with 85-90 points by the end of the season. He has been one of the best surprises in fantasy this season and should finish the campaign strong.

Necas scored a goal and delivered two hits in Monday's 3-0 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Necas found the back of the net in the early stages of the third period with a snap shot following a setup from Nathan MacKinnon, giving him 22 goals on the year. The 26-year-old playmaker is trending in the right direction of late, and this goal extended his point streak to three games, notching two goals and two helpers in that span. He's also recorded eight points (two goals, six assists) in eight games since the end of the 4 Nations break.

Necas scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, logged two PIM and went plus-3 in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Necas earned both of his points on the power play, with his second-period goal standing as the game-winner. The 26-year-old was ill in the Avalanche's previous game, but he didn't end up missing a contest. He's now at 15 points through 14 outings with the Avalanche, and he has a total of 21 goals, 49 helpers, 153 shots on net, 51 hits and a plus-8 rating over 63 appearances this season. While the Avalanche's trade for Brock Nelson on Thursday strengthens the team's forward depth, Necas is expected to remain alongside Nathan MacKinnon on the top line for now, which is best for the Czech forward's production.

Necas (illness) is available for Thursday's game versus San Jose, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.
EDGE Analysis
Necas didn't end up missing a full game due to the illness, but he did see a reduced workload during Tuesday's 4-1 victory over Pittsburgh. The 26-year-old is expected to serve in his regular role on the top line alongside Nathan MacKinnon and Artturi Lehkonen. Necas has 20 goals and 68 points in 62 appearances between Carolina and Colorado in 2024-25.

Necas was dealing with nausea during Tuesday's game versus the Penguins, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Necas got worse during the game, leading to his minutes getting cut in the second and third periods. While it's encouraging he was still able to partially play through it, fantasy managers will want to check in on his status for Thursday's game versus the Sharks.

Necas logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Necas has earned four helpers, including three on the power play, over his last two games. He hasn't scored a goal in four contests, but Necas can be productive in a variety of ways while playing on the top line and first power-play unit. For the season, the 26-year-old forward has 20 goals, 48 assists, 148 shots on net, 51 hits and a plus-5 rating over 61 appearances between the Avalanche and the Hurricanes. He's a virtual lock to surpass the career-best 71 points he had in 2022-23.

Necas logged three assists, two shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Necas bounced back from consecutive games off the scoresheet, lending a helper on each of the Avalanche's first three goals. Two of those assists were on Nathan MacKinnon power-play tallies. With 12 points over 11 outings since he was traded to the Avalanche, Necas has had no trouble settling in on the top line. He's up to 67 points, 145 shots on net, 51 hits and a plus-5 rating through 60 appearances this season, putting him four points shy of matching his career high from 2022-23.
