EDGE Analysis

Necas' empty-netter snapped his 11-game goal drought, during which he had just four assists.

EDGE Analysis

Necas' meteoric pace from early in the season dried up in December -- he closed out the calendar year with just two assists over his last nine games. He's 11 games removed from his last goal despite taking 26 shots in that span, which has seen his shooting percentage plummet from 22.2 to 15.7. Necas is at 14 goals, 31 helpers, 20 power-play points, 89 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-1 rating over 37 appearances.

His current drought hasn't done much to dampen what's been an amazing season -- Necas has 14 goals and 44 points through 34 appearances. His next chance to end the slump will come Friday in New Jersey.

Regardless of the final result, this was another strong performance from Necas, who's now posted four multi-point performances across Carolina's last six games. The center has 39 points in just 25 games this season, and he remains one of the most productive forwards in fantasy regardless of format.
