Necas scored a power-play goal on four shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Necas took a pass from Brady Skjei at 11:40 of the third period and one-timed it home for his eighth PP marker of the season and his 24th tally overall. For a guy who was rumored to be on his way out of Raleigh at the trade deadline, Necas has been a big part of the Canes' 11 wins in their past 15 games, with five goals and four assists over that span. He's been fitting in nicely on a line with Evgeny Kuznetsov and Teuvo Teravainen.

Necas picked up two assists in Friday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Necas had a hand in a Brady Skjei tally with six seconds left in the second period and a Sebastian Aho goal late in the third that wound up sending the game to OT. The 25-year-old Necas has gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight games, and he has been nearly a point-a-game player since the All-Star break, piling up nine goals and 20 points in the last 23 contests.

Necas opened the scoring on the power play in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Necas unloaded a heavy slap shot from just inside the blue line for his 20th goal and 45th point of the season. The Hurricanes have been a hot topic of conversation, as they acquired venerable point-packer Jake Guentzel (upper body) from the Penguins at the trade deadline. This figures to better support Necas as the opposite winger in the top-six group of forwards once Guentzel is healthy, which may be soon, as he's been cleared for contact.

Necas scored a power-play goal in a 3-1 win over Arizona on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Necas' game has taken a step back this season, but he has started to warm up of late. He has four goals and six points in his past six outings. Necas isn't going to come close to his excellent 71-point effort from last season, but he has the talent to deliver points at last year's pace for the remainder of 2023-24.
