Martin Necas recorded one goal and two assists in Colorado's 6-3 win over Tampa Bay on Friday, October 23. He finished with one shot on goal, two blocks and a plus-4 rating in 16:32 of ice time.

The three-point performance aligns with Necas's recent averages of 1.17 points per game, making this a normal night for a player already producing at this rate. His underlying play grades 70 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a measure of how sustainable his scoring is.

Necas's production reflects his established role as Colorado's second-ranked forward in power-play time at 3:58 per game on the first unit. He averages 0.45 goals, 0.72 assists and 2.7 shots per game in his recent sample of 213 games, with 0.35 power-play points per game. His 21:34 of overall ice time per game ranks him among the club's top forwards in all situations.

The single shot on goal stands out as unusually low for a player who averages 2.7 per game, though the assists offset any concern about his offensive involvement. Colorado has two games remaining this week, on Sun and Wed, followed by four next week. Necas remains a hold in all formats based on his established production levels.

What to do

• Keep Necas active in all lineups as a top-tier center producing more than a point per game.

• His two remaining games this week (Sun, Wed) make him a strong option for managers chasing volume.

• Treat this three-point outing as validation of his current value, not a signal to change your approach.
