Pacioretty scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Pacioretty put a goal past James Reimer midway through the second period. It was Pacioretty's first time on the scoresheet since his three-point effort Dec. 12 versus the Ducks. The 36-year-old winger is at five goals, five assists, 38 shots on net, 58 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 20 appearances, adding a bit of grit and scoring in a second-line role.

Pacioretty scored twice and added an assist Thursday in a 3-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Pacioretty nabbed a loose puck in front of the net and managed to slam it past Lukas Dostal as he was falling down to open the scoring in the first period. He then got his second of the game on a tip-in in the second to push the score to 3-1. The points were Pacioretty's first in three games since his return from a month's absence due to injury. He's a fantasy asset, even at 36 years young. Check your wire.

EDGE Analysis

Pacioretty will return to the lineup against Pittsburgh after missing the last 10 games. The 36-year-old veteran has two goals and six points in 13 games this season. Pacioretty will probably occupy a top-six role and get time on the power play in Saturday's game.

EDGE Analysis

Pacioretty will miss his ninth straight game versus Nashville on Wednesday, but he may not have to wait much longer to resume playing afterward. He remains on long-term injured reserve and won't be eligible to play versus Washington on Friday. Pacioretty has two goals, six points, 24 shots on net and 40 hits through 13 appearances this season.

Pacioretty (lower body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

Pacioretty is week-to-week and has sat out the last three games. He won't be eligible to play until at least Dec. 7 against Pittsburgh. Pacioretty has registered two goals, six points, 40 hits and 24 shots on net in 13 appearances this season. Once healthy, he will be in the mix for a bottom-six role in the lineup.

EDGE Analysis

Pacioretty is week-to-week after being injured in Saturday's 4-1 win over Montreal. He has contributed two goals, four assists, 24 shots on net and 40 hits across 13 appearances this season. With Pacioretty unavailable, Auston Matthews (upper body) or Connor Dewar could play Tuesday versus Ottawa.

Pacioretty (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Pacioretty needed help off the ice at the end of the first period. The 35-year-old has earned six points over 12 contests this season, but this is already his second lower-body injury of the campaign. If Pacioretty can't play Tuesday versus the Senators, Connor Dewar will likely enter the lineup for his season debut.

Pacioretty picked up three assists in a 6-4 win over Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old went beast mode after a promotion to the second line with John Tavares and William Nylander. Pacioretty also injected some life into a new-look top power-play unit, which didn't score but looked better than it had the whole season. He's likely best suited for 60-65 games this season, but could see more if he continues to have this kind of success.

Pacioretty (lower body) is slated to play Saturday against Boston, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old Pacioretty has two goals, 12 hits and seven shots on net in five appearances this season.
