Necas picked up two assists in Friday's 5-3 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
He had a hand in Carolina's first two tallies of the night. Necas briefly left the game after taking a puck off his knee, but he was able to return to the bench and saw his usual allotment of ice time. The multi-point performance was his first in over a month, and on the season Necas has eight goals and 18 points through 44 games.

Necas posted an assist and five shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Necas helped out on a Nino Niederreiter goal in the first period. The 23-year-old Necas went four games without a point prior to the All-Star break, but a move back into the top six should get his offense going again. The Czech forward is at 23 points, 79 shots on net, a plus-4 rating and 34 hits through 39 contests overall. The Hurricanes' forward depth likely means Necas will occasionally drop to the third line, but he should still find ways to contribute, regardless of role.

Necas scored a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
He celebrated his 23rd birthday in style, setting up Vincent Trochek for the eventual game-winner early in the second period and then blasting home a tally of his own less than four minutes later. Necas snapped a three-game point drought with the performance, and on the season he has eight goals and 21 points through 33 contests.

Necas (concussion) took line rushes during warmups and is expected to return for Thursday's game versus the Canadiens, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Necas won't end up missing any time with the concussion after the NHL's extended holiday break. The 22-year-old will play in his familiar second-line spot, and he should also see power-play time. Fantasy managers in standard formats can hesitate the forward without hesitation.

Necas has been designated to NHL's concussion protocols, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.
EDGE Analysis
Necas was initially designated with an upper-body injury after suffering a hit in Saturday's contest but has now been diagnosed with a concussion and will undergo the NHL's concussion protocols. He had recorded four points through his five appearances prior to the game he suffered the concussion. His status will remain a day-to-day situation as he continues to recover.

Necas (upper body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Necas got hit by Sean Durzi in the first period, and it's enough to sideline the former for the rest of the contest. It's a tough loss for the Hurricanes, who are already dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak that has taken five forwards out of the lineup. Necas' status should be updated prior to Thursday's game versus the Senators.

Necas registered two assists Thursday as the Hurricanes edged the Red Wings, 5-3.
EDGE Analysis
It was looking like a forgettable fantasy performance for Necas until he turned on the jets with the pair of helpers in the third period. Those were critical plays for the Czech skater, as the teams had been knotted up 3-3 heading into the final frame. Necas is performing well based on seven goals and 10 assists through 26 games.

Necas scored a goal on two shots, logged three hits and added two PIM in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis

The Czech forward is up to seven tallies, eight assists, 51 shots on net, 20 hits and 10 PIM through 25 appearances, mainly in a middle-six role, though he saw 21:24 of ice time with Sebastian Aho (illness) out Sunday.
