Pezzetta scored the game-winning shootout goal in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Pezzetta's not the top pick on anyone's shootout list, but he slipped the puck past Eric Comrie in the sixth round to give Montreal the extra point. The marker was also notable for his throwback celebration to Tiger Williams. Pezzetta technically extended his scoring drought to five contests, given that shootout goals don't count towards a player's point total.

Pezzetta scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 9-5 loss to the Panthers. He added six hits and one blocked shot to his line over 10:36 of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

It was goal befitting Pezzetta's style. He laid out on the ice to keep the puck in Florida's end, then was back on his skates when Anthony Richard's shot was deflected, and he managed to redirect with the shaft of his stick. The goal was his sixth, establishing a new career high for the fourth-line forward who has 13 points over 50 games.

Pezzetta scored a goal on two shots and assisted on another in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Hurricanes. He also had four hits over 8:28 of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

It was a big night for Montreal's fourth line, which scored two of the team's three goals. Pezzetta picked up an assist on a tally by Alex Belzile, who was in the right spot after a rebound. Pezzetta later crashed the net and finished a nice feed from Chris Tierney. The two-point night was the third of the season for Pezzetta, who has a career-high 12 points through 45 games.

Pezzetta posted an assist, four hits and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Pezzetta has two helpers over his last eight games, but he hasn't scored a goal in that span. The 24-year-old has been a fixture in the Canadiens' lineup on the fourth line, a role that doesn't lend itself to much fantasy relevance. He's collected 10 points, 157 hits, 48 PIM, 47 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 44 contests overall.

Pezzetta recorded an assist, one shot on goal, six hits and one blocked shot over 13:56 of ice time in Friday's 5-2 win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Pezzetta made the hustle play of the night. He beat Flyer defenders to negate a potential icing then, while falling down behind the net, backhanded a feed to Chris Tierney for a late first-period goal. The points are rare for the fourth-line forward but not the hits. Pezzetta, who's recorded 73 hits over the last 15 games, is second on the club with 143 thumps while averaging 9:00 TOI over 39 contests. On a hits-per-game basis, Pezzetta ranks sixth in the NHL with 3.66.

Pezzetta scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to Carolina. He added seven hits and four penalty minutes over 10:25 of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

Pezzetta's first shot was stopped by Antti Raanta, but he was able to bat the puck in midair past the goalie to open the scoring. The fourth-line forward is known more for his aggressive style but has shown an offensive side of late. Pezzetta has five points (two goals) in the last nine games, during which he's delivered 46 hits.

Pezzetta had an assist and four hits over 7:59 of ice time in Sunday's 6-2 win over Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

The fourth line got Montreal on the board when Pezzetta and Jesse Ylonen set up Alex Belzile midway through the first period. The fourth line started making noise on offense just prior to the midseason break, and it continued Sunday. Pezzetta has four points over his last seven games, while Belzile has five in six contests. Their former linemate, Rafael Harvey-Pinard, who had six points in five games before the break, has since been elevated to the top line.

Pezzetta had a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Detroit. He also had two shots on net, eight hits and blocked one shot over 13:43 of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

Pezzetta took advantage of a carom off teammate Rafael Harvey-Pinard's skate to backhanded the puck for Montreal's first goal. He later returned the favor by setting up Harvey-Pinard's game-tying goal late in the second period. Multi-point nights are rare for the fourth-line forward, who has two two-pointers over 30 games.

Pezzetta had an assist, six hits and one blocked shot over 11:05 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Pezzetta had the primary assist on Rafael Harvey-Pinard's second-period tally to tie the game at two goals apiece. It was an assist emblematic of the hard-working forward, who dived at loose puck in front of the goal and was still prone on the ice when Harvey-Pinard tallied. Offense is not his forte, but Pezzetta averages 3.32 hits per game, if that can be of use to fantasy teams. Often a healthy scratch, the 24-year-old forward has played four straight (23 hits), as the Canadiens deal with numerous injuries at forward. He should be a lineup regular for the next few weeks.

Pezzetta had one shot on goal, 11 hits and one blocked shot over 13:05 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Pezzetta moved to the third line after the Canadiens placed three forwards on injured reserve and scratched another. The 24-year-old grinder could be in line for added TOI while head coach Martin St. Louis navigates the injuries, which would give fantasy managers a boost in hits. Pezzetta ranks second on the team with 83 hits over 26 games while averaging a little more than eight minutes per contest.
