Avalanche's Martin Necas: Provides assist on opening goal
Necas logged an assist and four hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Stars in Game 1.
Necas has a helper in three straight contests. The 26-year-old Necas will be a focal point in this series, as he plays against the player the Avalanche traded away to acquire him in Mikko Rantanen, with both forwards featuring in similar roles. Necas put up a career year in the regular season, earning 27 goals, 56 assists, 194 shots on net, 62 hits and a plus-5 rating over 79 appearances. Necas' offensive success in the playoffs will likely correlate with Nathan MacKinnon's production as long as the two stick together on the top line.

Avalanche's Martin Necas: Not playing Tuesday
Necas (upper body) will remain sidelined Tuesday versus the Golden Knights, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Necas will miss his third game in a row Tuesday, and while he isn't expected to be sidelined long term, it's not yet clear if he'll be available for Thursday's meeting with the Canucks. The star winger has generated 27 goals and 81 points over 76 appearances between Carolina and Colorado in 2024-25. Jonathan Drouin (lower body) also will not suit up Tuesday, so Jimmy Vesey and Ross Colton might continue to round out the top six against Vegas.

While Necas and Jonathan Drouin (lower body) are both out, Jimmy Vesey and Miles Wood are finding more steady playing time. Necas' next chance to play is Tuesday versus the Golden Knights.

Avalanche's Martin Necas: Pulls off late heroics
Necas scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Blackhawks.
Necas looked a little worse for wear after a collision in the crease in the third period, but he was able to return after a brief stint in the locker room. The 26-year-old then came up clutch, tying the game at 2-2 with less than 11 seconds remaining in regulation. He had been held off the scoresheet in the Avalanche's last two games, both losses. Necas is up to 27 goals, 81 points, 193 shots on net, 61 hits and a plus-8 rating across 76 appearances between the Avalanche and the Hurricanes this season.

Avalanche's Martin Necas: Racks up three points in win
Necas scored twice on four shots and added an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Kings.
Necas' second goal and his helper both came on the power play, giving him five points with the man advantage over his last three games. He's earned a total of seven points during a four-game streak. The 26-year-old also logged the 200th assist of his career Thursday. For the season, he's at 26 tallies, 80 points (36 on the power play), 187 shots on net, 60 hits and a plus-9 rating across 73 appearances between the Avalanche and the Hurricanes.

Avalanche's Martin Necas: Earns two power-play helpers
Necas recorded a pair of power-play assists and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.
This was Necas' first multi-point effort since March 6. He has nine points over 10 games in that span, with seven of those points coming on the power play. The even-strength struggles have led to him switching places with Valeri Nichushkin in recent games, though Necas remains a productive player even in a second-line role. For the season, Necas is at 24 goals, 53 assists, 183 shots on net, 59 hits and a plus-8 rating over 72 outings between the Avalanche and the Hurricanes.

Avalanche's Martin Necas: Nets power-play goal
Necas scored a power-play goal and had three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win against the Canadiens.
Necas lit the lamp with the man advantage for Colorado's third goal of the game early in the second period. The 26-year-old forward has 24 goals, 75 points and 181 shots on net in 71 appearances this season. Necas has points in back-to-back games and 11 points in his last 12 outings. He has also been a strong presence on the Avalanche's top power-play unit with eight power-play tallies in that same span. While he has bounced around Colorado's lineup in different line combinations, he should always have either Nathan MacKinnon or Brock Nelson centering his line, giving Necas strong offensive outlets to share the puck with. Necas' 75 points are tied for 15th in the league, and he has the chance to break the 80-point threshold by the end of the regular season for the first time in his career.

Avalanche's Martin Necas: Grabs power-play goal
Necas scored a power-play goal and added eight shots on net in Sunday's 4-3 overtime victory against the Stars.
Necas lit the lamp with a man advantage just over halfway into the first period. His eight shots on goal tied his season-best total and is one behind his career best of nine shots on net in one game. Sunday's goal was his seventh since being acquired by Colorado and his 23rd of the season. His uptick in goals and higher shot volume has been assisted by skating alongside an elite playmaker in Nathan MacKinnon on Colorado's top line. Necas is having a career year with 73 points in 68 games. If he continues to score goals at this elevated rate alongside his great playmaking skills, Necas may end up with 85-90 points by the end of the season. He has been one of the best surprises in fantasy this season and should finish the campaign strong.

Avalanche's Martin Necas: Extends point streak
Necas scored a goal and delivered two hits in Monday's 3-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Necas found the back of the net in the early stages of the third period with a snap shot following a setup from Nathan MacKinnon, giving him 22 goals on the year. The 26-year-old playmaker is trending in the right direction of late, and this goal extended his point streak to three games, notching two goals and two helpers in that span. He's also recorded eight points (two goals, six assists) in eight games since the end of the 4 Nations break.

Necas scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, logged two PIM and went plus-3 in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.
Necas earned both of his points on the power play, with his second-period goal standing as the game-winner. The 26-year-old was ill in the Avalanche's previous game, but he didn't end up missing a contest. He's now at 15 points through 14 outings with the Avalanche, and he has a total of 21 goals, 49 helpers, 153 shots on net, 51 hits and a plus-8 rating over 63 appearances this season. While the Avalanche's trade for Brock Nelson on Thursday strengthens the team's forward depth, Necas is expected to remain alongside Nathan MacKinnon on the top line for now, which is best for the Czech forward's production.
