Lorentz registered two assists, two shots on net and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz set up Derek Stepan's go-ahead goal in the second period and also logged a helper on a Brady Skjei marker in the third. This was Lorentz's second straight multi-point game after he scored twice versus the Blue Jackets on Jan 1. The 25-year-old is up to five goals, two assists, 36 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-4 rating in 28 games, mainly playing in a fourth-line role.

Lorentz scored two goals in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Columbus actually jumped out to a 4-0 lead midway through the second period before Lorentz finally got Carolina on the board, but once the 'Canes offense began rolling there was no stopping it. The 25-year-old grinder added an insurance tally in the third to give him his first multi-goal performance in the NHL, and he now has five points (all goals) in 27 games on the season.

Lorentz has exited the COVID-19 protocols and was spotted in practice Sunday, according to Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz was one of five Carolina players that exited the COVID-19 protocols this weekend, and the fact that he was able to skate Sunday is certainly a good sign for his availability ahead of Thursday's game against Montreal. He has racked up three goals and no assists across 25 games this season.

Lorentz was placed in COVID-19 protocols Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz joins several of his teammates on the COVID-19 list Tuesday. The Hurricanes' tilt with Minnesota on Tuesday was postponed and, at this rate, more postponements could be on the way. For now, the team is set to face Detroit on Thursday.

Lorentz sat out Saturday's game against the Kings as a healthy scratch.

EDGE Analysis

This should not come as much of a surprise, as Lorentz played just 7:46 his last time out -- his second-lowest ice time of the season. Furthermore, with red-hot rookie Seth Jarvis currently on a three-game goal-scoring streak, it could be awhile before Lorentz finds his way back into the lineup.

Lorentz scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz opened the scoring at 11:14 of the second period, but that was the only one of 40 shots on net to beat Carter Hart. The 25-year-old Lorentz played on the third line with Nino Niederreiter (lower body) on injured reserve. Through 12 appearances, Lorentz has two goals, 13 shots, 12 hits and a plus-3 rating, mainly as a bottom-six option.

Lorentz notched an assist, four hits and two PIM in Monday's 5-2 win over the Predators in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz helped out on Teuvo Teravainen's first-period goal. The 25-year-old Lorentz had eight points in 45 regular-season contests this year, mainly as a fourth-line center. He's likely to stick in that role at least until Cedric Paquette (undisclosed) is available to return.

Lorentz posted an assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

With one game left to play, Lorentz now has eight points (2G, 6A) in his first full NHL season. He has been skating primarily in a fourth-line role this season, but the 25-year-old Kitchener native was the second-leading scorer at AHL Charlotte last year with 23 goals and 46 points, so Lorentz could carve out a more prominent offensive role with the Canes in the next season or two.

Lorentz produced an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Lorentz has been modestly productive lately with a goal and three helpers in his last seven outings. The 25-year-old has seven points, 35 shots, 41 hits and a plus-1 rating through 38 contests as a fourth-line forward.

Lorentz notched just his fourth point of the season with an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the helper, Lorentz continues to skate mainly on the Canes' fourth line, averaging fewer than 10 minutes per game. Thus, his fantasy value remains confined to the deepest of formats only.
