Impact Zary will conclude the season with 13 goals and 27 points in 54 appearances. That's a modest dip from his 34 points (14 goals) as a rookie in 2023-24, though he did log 63 outings in that campaign.

Deemed week-to-week Zary (knee) won't play against Edmonton on Saturday and is week-to-week.
Impact Zary sustained the injury in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Dallas. He has registered 13 goals, 27 points and 111 shots on net in 54 appearances this season. Zary will be replaced in Saturday's lineup by Yegor Sharangovich.

Initial assessment encouraging Zary (knee) underwent an initial assessment that offered encouraging results, but he'll require further testing and imaging to determine the extent of his injury, Darren Dreger of...
Impact Zary sustained a left knee injury during Thursday's game against the Stars and appeared to be in considerable pain, so it's encouraging that he appeared to get at least some good news in the immediate aftermath. However, he also dealt with a left knee injury earlier in the season that forced him to miss 15 games, so his availability for the final three weeks of the regular season isn't yet clear. If Zary misses additional time, Yegor Sharangovich will likely draw into the lineup.

'Hard to watch': Flames forward Connor Zary appears to re-injure left knee Connor Zary, who missed 15 games earlier this season after a knee-on-knee collision, was injured again Thursday against the Dallas Stars.
MARCH 28 • CALGARYHERALD.COM
Departs Thursday's game Zary suffered an apparent knee injury Thursday versus the Stars, and there was no update on his status following the game, Logan Gordon of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Impact Zary collided with Mikko Rantanen in the third period and was in agony on the ice. The injury was on Zary's left knee, which is the same one he hurt earlier in the campaign, leading to a 15-game absence. If the injury is as bad as it appeared this time around, he is likely to be shut down for at least the rest of the regular season. Yegor Sharangovich would likely return to the lineup in that case.

Sparks comeback Thursday Zary scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils.
Impact Zary's goal at 6:50 of the third period was the first of four tallies in the frame for the Flames as they pulled off a comeback win. The 23-year-old also led all Calgary forwards with 21:57 of ice time. Zary has a goal and an assist, as well as nine shots, over two contests following a two-game suspension. He's at 13 goals, 26 points, 105 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 51 outings this season. Fantasy managers in need of a boost in points or shots should consider Zary for the final few weeks of the season.

Earns assist in return Zary logged an assist and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.
Impact Zary returned from a two-game suspension and was shuffled up to the first line amid some adjustments to the Flames' forward trios. It proved to be a productive spot, as Zary had the secondary helper on Nazem Kadri's game-tying goal midway through the first period. Zary was on the fourth line prior to his suspension, but he often subbed in for shifts with other forwards during that time. The 23-year-old forward is at 12 goals, 13 assists, 100 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 50 appearances this season, which is enough production to help in deeper formats.

Eligible to play Tuesday Zary has served his two-game suspension and will be available against the Rangers on Tuesday.
Impact Zary was struggling to produce offensively prior to his suspension, having generated points in just one of his previous nine outings. During that stretch, the winger recorded just 13 shots, four hits and four blocks, so he's also not providing much in the way of category coverage either.
