Sat Jan 25 01:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Necas’ Offensive Surge Fuels Hurricanes’ Win
**Raleigh, NC** – Martin Necas fueled the Carolina Hurricanes’ 7-4 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night with a two-assist performance, including one on the power play. The performance highlights a recent resurgence for the 26-year-old forward, who has recorded four assists in his last three games and eight points (two goals, six assists) in twelve January appearances.
Necas’ strong showing marks a significant rebound from a mid-season slump. While not consistently achieving a point-per-game pace, he remains a steady contributor in a top-six role. Through 49 games this season, he boasts impressive totals of 16 goals, 39 assists, 113 shots on goal, 40 hits, and a plus-4 rating. He’s already surpassed his 53-point total from last season and is on track to potentially exceed his career-high of 71 points set in 2022-23. His offensive contributions have been crucial to the Hurricanes’ success this season.
