Zacha scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Penguins.

The 27-year-old Zacha saw a six-game point streak end Tuesday versus the Hurricanes, but he's been quite consistent down the stretch. The center has eight goals and 14 assists over 19 games since the start of March.

Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Four-game, seven-point streak
Rotowire
Zacha had two goals and an assist in a 5-1 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Zacha has five goals and two assists during his four-game point streak. His first goal pushed the Bruins up 2-0 on the power play at the midway point of the second period when he deflected a pass from the right side of the net. It stood as the game-winner. Zacha pushed the puck past Alex Nedeljkovic at the front of the net at 15:33 of the third to finish the scoring. Anyone skating with David Pastrnak at even strength is worthy of roster consideration, and in some formats, Zacha is waiting to be plucked off the wire.

Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Game-time call Monday
Rotowire
Zacha (lower body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Monday's matchup with Toronto, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
Zacha didn't take line rushes during Monday's game-day skate, per Mark Masters of TSN, which is usually an indication that a player won't be in the lineup. The 26-year-old Czech is stuck in an 11-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 8 against the Canucks. If Zacha doesn't play, Morgan Geekie looks poised to slide into the second-line center role.

Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Contributes assist
Rotowire
Zacha notched an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.
Zacha is in a nine-game goal drought, and he has just three assists in that span. The 26-year-old is still playing in a top-six role, but his offense has faded of late. Zacha is up to 36 points, 107 shots on net, 72 hits and a plus-9 rating through 56 appearances. He's a solid depth option in most fantasy formats given his role, but he's unlikely to carry a virtual squad on his own.

Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Placed on IR
Rotowire

Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Earns power-play helper
Rotowire
Zacha recorded a power-play assist in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Since he opened the season with three scoreless outings, Zacha has yet to suffer another multi-game point drought.
