Picks up helper Wednesday Saad notched an assist in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Devils.

Impact Saad snapped a six-game point drought when he set up the first of Dylan Holloway's two goals in the game. The helper puts Saad at nine points, 33 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 21 appearances. He's still seeing steady middle-six usage, but his middling offense and lack of non-scoring production makes fairly one-dimensional for fantasy.

Impact Saad scored in the opening and final frame of Thursday's loss, both of which were set up by Brayden Schenn. Saad saw 17:31 of ice time versus the Sabres, a big boost from the 8:57 he received Tuesday against Boston. The left-shot winger has compiled four goals, four assists, two PIM, 25 shots and four hits through 14 games while filling a top-six role and spot on the No. 2 power play.

Gathers assist Saad notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Saad snapped a three-game dry spell when he helped out on Jordan Kyrou's third-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. While Saad has been listed on the first line, his ice time has declined over the last week, reaching a season-low 13:29 in Tuesday's win. The 32-year-old is at five points, 19 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 10 appearances this season. He is more of a secondary scorer, so fantasy managers may want to stream him rather than roster him on a regular basis.

Carries offense in loss Saad scored two goals in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

Impact He was the only St. Louis skater to beat Connor Hellebuyck on the night, shoveling home rebounds in the first and third periods, but Winnipeg dominated the second. Saad's first tally gave him 500 career points, but the goals were also his first points of 2024-25 after he missed the first three games of the season due to the birth of his child.

Back with team Saad (personal) was activated from the non-roster list Monday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Saad missed the first three games of the 2024-25 season to be with his wife for the birth of their third child. The 31-year-old Saad should be available to play Tuesday versus Minnesota. He registered 26 goals, 42 points and 144 shots on net in 82 contests during the 2023-24 regular season.

Not traveling with team Saad is back in St. Louis for the birth of his child and was placed on non-roster injured reserve Monday.

Impact Saad is for sure going to be sidelined against Seattle on Tuesday and probably should be considered a doubt for the whole three-game road trip. Even once he links up with the team, the veteran winger will likely have to settle for a bottom-six role, though he could still see minutes with the man advantage.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stacks up 26 goals Saad posted 26 goals and 16 assists across 82 games during the 2023-24 campaign.

Impact In his third season with St. Louis, Saad posted his second-best season with 26 goals, which was his most since posting 31 goals during the 2015-16 season with the Blue Jackets. The 31-year-old handled a middle-six role with the Blues this year along with consistent power-play time, and he'll carry similar duties next season. Saad has two years left on his contract, which carries a manageable $4.5 million yearly cap hit.

Snags helper in win Saad garnered an assist in Sunday's 4-1 victory against the Kraken.

Impact Saad is still stuck in a five-game goal drought dating back to April 4 versus Nashville. During that stretch, the 31-year-old winger has generated two helpers, nine shots and one block. The Pittsburgh native has just one game remaining this season and won't be setting any new career highs, though he did get back over the 40-point threshold after missing that mark last year.

Stays warm Thursday Saad scored a goal on six shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Impact Saad has six goals and two assists over his last seven outings. The winger tied the game at 1-1 in the first period, but the Blues couldn't build off of his marker. His recent scoring surge has salvaged another middling campaign -- he's up to 26 tallies, 40 points, 130 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 76 appearances on the year.

Two points including OT winner Saad scored the overtime winner and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 victory over the Wild.

Impact After having a hand in the third goal of Jordan Kyrou's hat trick midway through the third period, Saad slipped a puck through Marc-Andre Fleury's five-hole to complete a give-and-go with Kasperi Kapanen. Saad has posted back-to-back two-point performances, part of a productive March that has seen the 31-year-old winger generate five goals and 10 points in 12 games. Saturday's game-winner was his fifth of the season, his highest total since 2019-20.

MARCH 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches 20-goal plateau Saad scored his 20th goal of the season in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Impact The veteran winger gave St. Louis an insurance tally in the third period to reach the 20-goal plateau for the seventh time in his career. Saad has been on a bit of a heater over the last month, and in the last 14 games he's racked up seven goals and 11 points.

MARCH 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Lone tally in loss Saad scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Devils.

The goal was Saad's fifth in his last 11 games. Overall, the veteran winger has 18 goals and 29 points through 63 games this season.

Snaps slump in win Saad scored on his lone shot during Thursday's 6-3 win over Edmonton.

Impact That goal snapped a seven-game stretch without a point for Saad. While this season's 16.1 shooting percentage is above his career average, his lack of shots is concerning. This is only the third time in his career he's averaged less than 2.02 shots per game. In his last 20 games, he's averaging just 1.2 shots per tilt and has been held without a single shot six times.
