EDGE Analysis

Necas has gotten on the scoresheet in all four games so far, recording three goals, four helpers, 11 shots on net and a plus-3 rating. His tally was his first power-play point of the year, though it shouldn't be his last if he sticks on the top unit. The 23-year-old's hot start suggests his regression to 40 points in 78 contests last season was an anomaly -- fantasy managers can be bullish on his production after an impressive week-plus of action.

The 23-year-old Czech forward obviously won't score like this every night, but this was an ideal start to the season for Necas, who regressed with 40 points in 78 games last season after notching 41 points in just 53 appearances in 2020-21. All three points came at even strength, as Necas spent most of the game skating on the second line alongside Andrei Svechnikov and Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
