Zacha scored the game-winning goal and fired two shots on net in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha has picked up the pace with three goals and two assists over his last four games. He had come up empty in the six contests before this improved stretch, though the bulk of his offense has come in small bursts this season. The 27-year-old forward is at six goals, 12 points, 61 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 27 appearances in a top-six role.

Zacha had an assist, two shots on net and one hit in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Good things can happen when one skates on a line with David Pastrnak. Zacha found him uncovered in front of the Canadiens' net, and Boston's goal leader beat Sam Montembeault to the stick side. The assist was Zacha's fourth point (two goals, two assists) in the last three games and upped his season scoring to 11 points through 26 outings.

Zacha scored two goals, one the game-winner, and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
With the score tied 3-3 midway through the third period, Zacha tipped home an Andrew Peeke shot from the point, then gave Boston an insurance tally less than three minutes later. Zacha snapped a six-game point drought with the eruption, and on the season he's managed just five goals and 10 points in 24 contests, a sluggish performance that can largely be attributed to the Bruins' floundering power play -- the 27-year-old center has just one PP point, an assist, despite averaging a career-high 3:35 a game in ice time with the man advantage.

Zacha scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
This is the second time Zacha has recorded points in back-to-back games, but the 27-year-old's production has been disappointing overall. He has notched just three goals and three assists in 16 appearances. His role as a top-six forward will give him opportunities to produce, but he's not taking advantage of his chances so far. This minimal production suggests he shouldn't be a reliable fantasy asset across most formats.

Zacha scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first multi-point performance of the season for Zacha, snapping him out of a slump that had seen the 27-year-old record just one assist over the prior 12 contests. Despite that lack of production, Zacha has maintained a spot in Boston's top six thanks to his faceoff prowess -- he was a perfect 8-for-8 at the dot Thursday, and on the season he's won 51.9 percent of his draws.

Zacha notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha had gone six games without a point before helping out on a David Pastrnak tally in the second period. The 27-year-old Zacha has maintained his top-six role during the slump, and it will be tough for him to stay quiet when seeing big minutes alongside fellow Czech forward Pastrnak. Zacha has three points, 21 shots on net, nine PIM, two hits and a minus-1 rating through nine appearances.

Zacha had an assist and two shots on net in Thursday's 6-4 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
The Bruins top line combined for the fourth goal, as the forechecking Zacha and Elias Lindholm each won puck battles that led to David Pastrnak's tally. Zacha had the primary assist, spinning away from David Savard behind the net and finding an impossibly open Pastrnak in the slot. It was the second point in as many games for Zacha, who scored in the season-opening loss to Florida.

Zacha scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha showed immediate success with Elias Lindholm, who set up his first-period tally. The 27-year-old Zacha is making the move to left wing with Lindholm in the fold to play center. Both of them may take on more playmaking roles with the third member of their line being David Pastrnak, who also scored in the contest. Zacha has topped the 20-goal mark in both of his years with the Bruins despite never exceeding 150 shots on net, so expect him to continue to be a selective and efficient shooter as well as a decent source of hits -- he had 106 body checks last season.

Zacha registered two assists, two shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha helped out on the Bruins' first two goals to flip a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead. The 27-year-old is still searching for a goal this postseason, but he's contributed four helpers over eight contests. The center has added 12 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-1 rating while playing a strong two-way game in a top-six role.

Zacha notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha has earned two assists over four playoff outings so far. The center has added eight shots on net, seven hits and a minus-2 rating in those contests. Zacha continues to play alongside David Pastrnak, so there will be chances to contribute as long as the Bruins' offense keeps humming along -- they've outscored the Maple Leafs 14-7 in the first round so far.
