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.
