Zacha notched a pair of helpers and four shots in Sunday's 6-2 rout of the Panthers in Game 4.
Zacha has yet to score in the postseason despite putting 12 shots on net through the first four contests. Still, the Czech center has four helpers in the playoffs, including two with the man advantage. As long as Zacha continues to shoot the puck, he should find the back of the net sooner rather than later, though his opportunities could be reduced once Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci return from their respective upper-body injuries.

Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Earns helper after move to center
Rotowire
Zacha logged an assist and four hits in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Zacha filled in as the second-line center between Taylor Hall and David Pastrnak with David Krejci (lower body) out of the lineup. The move jolted Zacha's offense, ending a three-game dry spell as he made a nifty pass to set up Jake DeBrusk's goal in the third period. While Zacha has gone 11 games without a goal, he has eight assists in that span. The 25-year-old forward is at 17 points, 47 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-7 rating in 27 contests overall, and he'll likely stay at center as long as Krejci is out.

Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Puts up plus rating
Rotowire
Zacha scored a goal during Sunday's 5-2 victory over the Canucks.
After failing to live up to his draft potential in New Jersey, Zacha started his second act in Boston this season. The 2015 No. 6 overall draft pick has yet to deliver consistent scoring at the NHL level, but he appears to be fitting in with his new club. In 385 games with the Devils, Zacha registered a minus-66 rating. In 16 appearances with the Bruins, he is a plus-1. Zacha, who connected for the first time in six games Sunday, scored off an odd-man rush during 4-on-4 play.
