Necas, a restricted free agent, agreed to terms on a two-year, $13 million contract with Carolina on Monday. Necas was unable to replicate his 2022-23 campaign, failing to reach even the 60-point threshold after having racked up 71 points the year before. Still, the 25-year-old center has back-to-back 50-plus point seasons and has surpassed the 20-goal mark in each of the last two years. This new deal will see Necas hit the open market after the 2025-26 season when he will likely be looking for a long-term contract.

Necas scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Rangers in Game 5. Necas had a secondary helper on Jordan Martinook's third-period tally before scoring an empty-net goal in Monday's win. It's the first time since Game 1 of Carolina's first-round series against the Islanders that Necas has registered two points in a game. The 25-year-old forward also had two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in 15:56 of ice time. Necas is up to three goals and five assists in 10 contests this postseason.

Necas scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1. Necas cut the deficit to one goal with a tally early in the third period. The 25-year-old forward is up to two goals, four assists, 11 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through six playoff outings. Necas has been held off the scoresheet only once this postseason, so he should provide consistent offense in a middle-six role during this second-round series.

Necas scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Islanders in Game 1. Necas set up Evgeny Kuznetsov's goal early in the first period before scoring the empty-netter with 1:32 left in the contest. The 25-year-old Necas ended the regular season on a five-game goal drought, tied for his second-longest of the campaign. He was solid with 24 goals, 53 points and 231 shots on net over 77 appearances, and he enters the playoffs with a top-six role and power-play time.

Necas was unable to end his goal drought despite recording six shots in Sunday's 4-2 victory over Chicago. Necas remains bogged down in a four-game point drought during which he has notched 10 shots while averaging 16:11 of ice time per contest. Even with the slump, the 25-year-old continues to feature in a top-six role, though he could find himself replaced by Andrei Svechnikov if Necas doesn't start producing.
