Martin Necas

Necas was already averaging 0.45 goals and 0.72 assists per game across a 213-game sample, so Saturday's explosion represents what he can do at the high end of his range rather than a new level. He puts up 2.7 shots per game and contributes 0.35 power-play points per game, though none of his three points came with the man advantage Saturday. He adds 1.0 hits and 0.3 blocks per game.

Colorado has three games left this week, on Saturday, Wednesday and Thursday, and four next week. Necas ranks third on the club in power-play time per game and plays over 21 minutes a night at even strength. His process score of 70 out of 100 measures his shot volume, scoring chances and ice time, all of which suggest he can maintain his current pace.

What to do

• Keep Necas in your lineup for Colorado's three remaining games this week on Saturday, Wednesday and Thursday.

• Expect him to produce around 1.17 points per game with strong shot volume and first-unit power-play exposure.

• His process score of 70 out of 100 among forwards indicates his scoring rate is backed by solid underlying play.
