Necas notched an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Necas has three multi-point efforts over his last four games and has recorded at least an assist in four of his previous five appearances, so he's been a huge component of the Hurricanes' offense in the early stages of the season. Necas has cracked the 50-point plateau in his last two seasons, and he seems well on his way to reaching that mark for a third straight campaign.

Necas scored a goal and added two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Necas was involved in each of the Hurricanes' three goals in this win, setting up Shayne Gostisbehere's power-play tally and Sebastian Aho's game-winning goal while lighting up the lamp in the third period with a tip-in. Necas has two multi-point efforts over his last three games, tallying two goals and three assists over that span.

Necas provided a goal and an assist, both with the man advantage, in Friday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Necas scored the game-winning goal in the early stages of the second period to give the Hurricanes a 2-1 lead, and he later set up Shayne Gostisbehere to double the team's advantage. Necas has three points over his last two outings, and he should continue to have ample opportunities to produce as a top-six forward who also features regularly on the power play.

Necas registered two assists in Friday's 2-1 overtime preseason win versus the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Necas had the primary helper on both of Carolina's goals in Friday's contest, which puts him up to three assists in two exhibition games. The 25-year-old has a lot to prove in the coming campaign -- the right-shot forward signed a two-year bridge deal with the club in July. With Necas set to fill a top-six role while skating on the top power-play unit, his career high of 71 points in 2022-23 could be within reach.

Necas, a restricted free agent, agreed to terms on a two-year, $13 million contract with Carolina on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Necas was unable to replicate his 2022-23 campaign, failing to reach even the 60-point threshold after having racked up 71 points the year before. Still, the 25-year-old center has back-to-back 50-plus point seasons and has surpassed the 20-goal mark in each of the last two years. This new deal will see Necas hit the open market after the 2025-26 season when he will likely be looking for a long-term contract.

Necas scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Rangers in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Necas had a secondary helper on Jordan Martinook's third-period tally before scoring an empty-net goal in Monday's win. It's the first time since Game 1 of Carolina's first-round series against the Islanders that Necas has registered two points in a game. The 25-year-old forward also had two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in 15:56 of ice time. Necas is up to three goals and five assists in 10 contests this postseason.

Necas scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Necas cut the deficit to one goal with a tally early in the third period. The 25-year-old forward is up to two goals, four assists, 11 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through six playoff outings. Necas was only held off the scoresheet in Game 2 versus the Islanders, so he should be able to provide consistent offense in a middle-six role during this second-round series.

Necas scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Islanders in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Necas set up Evgeny Kuznetsov's goal early in the first period before scoring the empty-netter with 1:32 left in the game. The 25-year-old Necas ended the regular season on a five-game goal drought, tied for his second-longest of the campaign. He was solid with 24 goals, 53 points and 231 shots on net over 77 appearances, and he enters the playoffs with a top-six role and power-play time.

Necas was unable to end his goal drought despite recording six shots in Sunday's 4-2 victory over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Necas remains bogged down in a four-game point drought during which he has notched 10 shots while averaging 16:11 of ice time per contest. Even with the slump, the 25-year-old continues to feature in a top-six role, though he could find himself replaced by Andrei Svechnikov if Necas doesn't start producing.
