Dewar posted an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Blues.
Dewar has three points over his last two games since he snapped a 23-game slump. The 23-year-old forward helped out on a Ryan Reaves goal in the third period. It's too little to say Dewar's offense has turned a corner, especially since he's still on the fourth line. He's at 16 points, 71 shots on net, 108 hits, 44 blocks, 39 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 67 outings.

Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Coyotes.

The fourth-liner provides solid grit, but he hasn't been much of a scoring threat this season, with six goals, nine assists, 71 shots on net, 106 hits, 39 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 66 appearances.
