Flames' Derek Ryan: Breaks drought with goal

This is Ryan's first experience in the playoffs, and the fourth-line center has struggled to have an impact on offense. He's been a reliable depth contributor, having recorded 38 points in 81 regular-season games, but with the Flames down 3-1 in the series, he hasn't done enough to help improve their chances of a deeper run.

Flames' Derek Ryan: Ties career high in points

The tally gives him 38 points, matching the amount he had last season. Both totals came at the 80-game mark of the respective campaigns. Ryan enjoyed prime deployment Wednesday on the top line between Johnny Gaudreau and Austin Czarnik, and if Sean Monahan is rested again Saturday, Ryan is likely to stay in that favorable spot. Otherwise, he would return to a fourth-line role.

Flames' Derek Ryan: Finds net twice in rout

Ryan's stepped up nicely in the past three games, scoring three goals in that stretch. He seems to be finding his stride as the season comes to an end, which could make him a nice cheap option in the playoffs for owners needing help in daily leagues.

Flames' Derek Ryan: Two points in blowout win

March has been kind to the center, who has played all over the lineup while recording 11 points (four goals, seven helpers) in 14 games. Ryan's added a plus-14 rating and 26 shots in that span while averaging 15:20 per game. He's got 35 points overall, just three shy of his career-high 38 from 2017-18.

Flames' Derek Ryan: Generates apple

Ryan now has a career-high 24 helpers to go with his nine goals in 74 games this year. Over his last six appearances, he has scored twice and added six assists, only being held off the scoresheet once. While he owns 33 points and a plus-15 rating, he doesn't add much physicality (14 hits, 18 blocked shots this season), keeping his fantasy interest limited to deeper formats.
