C/LW BOS
Zacha added an assist in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs for Game 2 of the conference quarterfinals.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha roused the home crowd with a spinning backhand pass to David Pastrnak for a one-timer that goalie Ilya Samsonov had virtually no chance of stopping. Unfortunately for Bruins fans, the top-line center was otherwise quiet in the contest, and Zacha's full minute on the man advantage didn't bear fruit. This is the lone playoff series with the teams tied 1-1 after two games.

Zacha scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha reached the 20-goal mark in the second period and helped out on a Kevin Shattenkirk tally in that frame. The 27-year-old Zacha saw a six-game point streak end Tuesday versus the Hurricanes, but he's been quite consistent down the stretch. The center has eight goals and 14 assists over 19 games since the start of March. For the season, he's at a career-high 58 points with 142 shots on net, 105 hits and a plus-14 rating through 76 appearances.

Zacha is up to 19 goals, 53 points, 135 shots on net, 100 hits and a plus-14 rating through 72 outings overall in a top-six role.

Zacha notched an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha controlled the puck after the Bruins forced a turnover, and he fed Danton Heinen for the first-period tally. The helper gave Zacha six goals and eight assists over 13 outings in March. He continues to see key minutes as a top-six center. He's reached the 50-point mark for the second year in a row while adding 133 shots on net, 96 hits and a plus-11 rating through 70 appearances.

Zacha scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
He also chipped in four shots on net, two hits, a blocked shot and a plus-3 rating. Zacha has been locked in for most of the month -- through 12 games in March he's collected six goals and 13 points. The 26-year-old center sits one point short of his second straight 50-point campaign.

Zacha had two goals and an assist in a 5-1 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha has five goals and two assists during his four-game point streak. His first goal pushed the Bruins up 2-0 on the power play at the midway point of the second period when he deflected a pass from the right side of the net. It stood as the game-winner. Zacha pushed the puck past Alex Nedeljkovic at the front of the net at 15:33 of the third to finish the scoring. Anyone skating with David Pastrnak at even strength is worthy of roster consideration, and in some formats, Zacha is waiting to be plucked off the wire.

Zacha (lower body) is in Monday's lineup against the Maple Leafs, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha was considered a game-time call after suffering an injury Saturday against the Islanders but won't be forced to miss any time. The 26-year-old has 12 goals and 36 points through 58 games this season, though he's been held to just three points in his last 11 appearances.

Zacha (lower body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Monday's matchup with Toronto, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha didn't take line rushes during Monday's game-day skate, per Mark Masters of TSN, which is usually an indication that a player won't be in the lineup. The 26-year-old Czech is stuck in an 11-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 8 against the Canucks. If Zacha doesn't play, Morgan Geekie looks poised to slide into the second-line center role.

Zacha (lower body) won't finish Saturday's game versus the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha did not come out for the second period and was ruled out for the rest of the game shortly after that. It's unclear when he was injured in the contest. The 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's game in Toronto.

C/LW BOS
Zacha notched an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Zacha is in a nine-game goal drought, and he has just three assists in that span. The 26-year-old is still playing in a top-six role, but his offense has faded of late. Zacha is up to 36 points, 107 shots on net, 72 hits and a plus-9 rating through 56 appearances. He's a solid depth option in most fantasy formats given his role, but he's unlikely to carry a virtual squad on his own.
