Out Friday Necas (undisclosed) is not expected to suit up Friday against Washington, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Questionable Friday Necas (undisclosed) is questionable for Friday's game against Washington, per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer

Impact Necas exited Thursday's practice early, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal. Coach Rod Brind'Amour was initially "hopeful" about Necas' chances of playing Friday, but it seems his status is still up in the air. Vasily Ponomarev was summoned from AHL Chicago on Friday and can draw into the lineup if Necas or Stefan Noesen (illness) is unavailable.

Two apples keep doctor away Necas delivered two assists in a 5-4 loss to the Islanders on Saturday.

Impact Necas, who has 25 points in 34 games, had been held off the board for three games prior to Saturday. He sits second in team scoring, one point ahead of Seth Jarvis and six points behind Sebastian Aho. This season is bit of a step back for Necas, who broke out with 28 goals and 71 points last season. Right now, he remains in single digits (nine) for goals, and is on pace for just 60 points. That makes him a great trade target in keeper and dynasty formats. Necas' talent is real, even if his numbers don't reflect it appropriately right now.

Stays hot in OT loss Necas scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Friday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Predators.

Impact After helping to set up Stefan Noesen for Carolina's first tally midway through the first period, Necas potted his own in the second by intercepting a clearing effort in the Nashville zone and wiring the puck past Kevin Lankinen. Necas has racked up three goals and nine points in the last nine games, and while he's a little off the scoring pace from his breakout 2022-23 campaign, he's still on track to top 60 points for the second straight season.

Nabs assist in loss Necas recorded an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

Impact Necas has spent some time in the bottom six lately, but with the Hurricanes getting drubbed 6-1 in Edmonton on Wednesday, head coach Rod Brind'Amour shuffled his lines. That saw Necas return to the first line and log a season-high 21:12 of ice time. The winger has been productive of late with a goal and five helpers over his last seven contests. For the season, he's at 19 points, 62 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-9 rating through 26 appearances.

Gathers assist Sunday Necas notched an assist and six shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Necas hasn't recorded a multi-point effort in November, posting two goals an three helpers over 10 contests this month. The 24-year-old forward chipped in with a secondary helper on Jesperi Kotkaniemi's third-period goal to spark the Hurricanes' comeback. Necas is at 14 points, 50 shots on net, 16 hits, eight PIM and a minus-10 rating through 20 outings overall, though his presence in the top six means fantasy managers should likely be patient with him.

Notches PP helper Saturday Necas registered a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-0 shutout win over the Lightning.

Impact Necas took a major leap forward last season with a career-high 71-point campaign in just his fourth full season with the Hurricanes. Now with 12 points in 15 games, he remains on pace for a similar result this year. The 24-year-old Czech continues to rack up very respectable minutes on the second line (18:10 average TOI), and sees first line PP time as well (3:27). Start him with confidence.
