Saad logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks in Game 5.
Saad was in the lineup for the second time this postseason as he continues to fill in for the injured Mark Stone (lower body). In the regular season, Saad was limited to nine points, 78 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 49 regular-season appearances. He's filling a bottom-six role for now. Saad has extensive postseason experience prior to this year, having earned 57 points over 111 games across nine previous playoff runs.

Saad notched an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks.
Saad had been scratched for the previous 13 contests and had a six-game stretch without a point before exiting the lineup. The winger has had a poor year in the Golden Knights' bottom six, earning just nine points, 76 shots on net, 14 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 47 appearances. Saad is not guaranteed to have a regular spot in the lineup for the rest of the season -- he'll be competing with Reilly Smith for playing time.

Saad scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Kings.
Saad gave the Golden Knights a 3-2 lead in the middle of the third period. He had missed the previous 15 games due to an undisclosed injury. The 33-year-old may not be a lock for the lineup going forward, as he's had a tough season so far with just three goals, five assists, 66 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 40 appearances. When he does play, Saad looks set to be a bottom-six option, which won't help his fantasy value.
RotoWire via ESPN · Feb 26
Saad (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, SinBin.vegas reports.
Following a 15-game absence, Saad will be an option for Wednesday's matchup against the Kings. He has chipped in two goals, five assists, 64 shots on net and 17 blocked shots across 39 appearances this season.
RotoWire via ESPN · Feb 24
General manager Kelly McCrimmon noted Monday that Saad (undisclosed) isn't expected to suit up prior to the Olympic break, according to SinBin.vegas.
Saad has missed the Golden Knights' last five games and landed on injured reserve Thursday due to his undisclosed injury. Saad joins a list of multiple players who are not expected to return to the lineup until at least Feb. 25 in Los Angeles following the 2026 Winter Olympics.
RotoWire via ESPN · Jan 20
Saad (undisclosed) was designated for injured reserve Thursday, SinBin.vegas reports.
Saad was already expected to be sidelined versus the Maple Leafs on Thursday, so this update doesn't significantly impact his return timeline, considering he has already been out of action for a week. The veteran forward has just one goal and 22 assists in his last 22 outings, so his continued absence is unlikely to have a significant impact on most fantasy managers.
