Nashville Predators

Roman Josi tallied one assist in the Predators' 2-1 win over the Avalanche Saturday night.

Fantasy Impact: Josi continues a productive stretch in the offensive zone, picking up points in three of his last four games (three assists) for the Predators. The veteran defenseman has offered fantasy managers a steady blueline option as part of a disappointing Nashville lineup, posting 38 points (nine goals, 29 assists) in 51 games so far this season.

Jonathan Marchessault was able to light the lamp for the Predators Saturday night, scoring one goal in a 2-1 win over the Avalanche.

Fantasy Impact: Marchessault has caught fire in the offensive zone, posting points in each of his last four games (three goals, four assists) for the Predators. The center remains one of the few reliable offensive options as part of an underperforming Nashville lineup, tallying 45 points (18 goals, 27 assists) in 55 games so far this season.

Tommy Novak was able to find the back of the net for the Predators Friday night, scoring one goal in a 6-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Fantasy Impact: Novak has had a nose for the net of late, lighting the lamp in five of his last eight games (five goals) for the Predators. The center remains a risky option for fantasy managers as part of a disappointing Nashville lineup, tallying 18 points (10 goals, eight assists) in 44 games so far this season.

Ryan O'Reilly notched one assist in the Predators' 5-2 loss to the Senators Monday night.

Fantasy Impact: O'Reilly continues an inconsistent stretch in the offensive zone, picking up points in five of his last 10 games (two goals, three assists) for the Predators. The veteran center has been one of many disappointing options as part of an underperforming Nashville lineup, registering 30 points (14 goals, 16 assists) in 49 games so far this season.

Filip Forsberg tallied two points for the Predators Monday night, scoring one goal and adding one assist in a 5-2 loss to the Senators.

Fantasy Impact: Forsberg continues a dynamic stretch in the offensive zone, posting points in 11 of his last 14 games (10 goals, 11 assists) for the Predators. The winger remains one of the few reliable options as part of an underwhelming Nashville lineup, tallying 51 points (19 goals, 32 assists) in 52 games so far this season.

Brady Skjei tallied three assists in the Predators' 6-5 win over the Sharks Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact: Skjei has made minimal impact in the offensive zone of late, registering points in two of his last nine games (one goal, three assists) for the Predators. The defenseman continues a disappointing season from the blueline for fantasy managers, registering 17 points (four goals, 13 assists) in 47 games so far this season.

Steven Stamkos was able to light the lamp for the Predators Thursday night, scoring one goal in a 6-5 win over the Sharks.

Fantasy Impact: Stamkos has caught fire in the offensive zone of late, posting points in each of his last five games (five goals, three assists) for the Predators. The veteran center is one of many forward options recovering from slow starts to the season in a resurgent Nashville lineup, tallying 33 points (17 goals, 16 assists) in 47 games so far this season.

Juuse Saros struggled in net for the Predators Tuesday night, allowing four goals on 30 shots faced in a 5-2 loss to the Jets.

Fantasy Impact: Saros continues an inconsistent stretch in goal, allowing three or more goals in eight of his last 11 starts (3-7-1) for the Predators. The 29-year-old has been a mostly steady option playing behind an underperforming Nashville lineup, posting a 2.77 GAA and .905 save percentage in 32 starts (9-17-6, four shutouts) between the pipes so far this season.

Luke Schenn was able to light the lamp for the Predators Saturday, scoring one goal in a 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Fantasy Impact: Schenn found his way onto the score sheet, recording a point for the first time in five games for the Predators. The blueliner will look to take advantage of a top-four blueline role for Nashville when healthy as the season continues.

Tyson Barrie posted one assist Thursday night in the Predators' 2-1 win over the Kraken.

Fantasy Impact: Barrie has not been much of a factor in the offensive zone of late for the Predators, registering points in just three of his last nine games (three assists) for the club. The 31-year-old blueliner has offered decent production as a mid-to-low tier option for fantasy owners, picking up 48 points (11 goals, 37 assists) in 73 games so far this season.

Philip Tomasino posted two points for the Predators Sunday night, scoring one goal and picking up one assist in a 5-4 win over the Ducks.

Fantasy Impact: Tomasino has cooled off after a strong start since being called up by the Predators, notching points in just two of his last six games (two goals, one assist) for the club. The 21-year-old has a bright future and will look to showcase his dynamic ability for fantasy owners to close out the season, registering eight points (three goals, five assists) in 13 games so far this season.

Ryan Johansen recorded two points for the Predators Saturday, scoring one goal and picking up one assist in a 7-3 win over the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact: Johansen has struggled with consistency of late for the Predators, posting points in just five of his last 12 games (three goals, three assists) for the club. The 30-year-old has left plenty to be desired for fantasy owners so far, tallying just 28 points (12 goals, 16 assists) in 53 games so far this season.

Matt Duchene was able to find the back of the back of the net for the Predators Saturday, scoring one goal in a 6-3 win over the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact: Duchene has gotten hot in the offensive zone of late for the Predators, registering points in five of his last six games (four goals, three assists) for the club. The 32-year-old will look to stay productive down the stretch for fantasy owners, picking up 43 points (17 goals, 26 assists) in 52 games so far this season.

Tanner Jeannot was able to light the lamp for the Predators Tuesday night, scoring one goal in a 2-1 win over the Jets.

Fantasy Impact: Jeannot has caught fire of late for the Predators, picking up points in three of his last five games (one goal, two assists) for the club. The 25-year-old forward has not been much of an option for fantasy owners after a breakout rookie season, scoring four goals and adding eight assists for 12 points in 47 games so far this season.

Kevin Lankinen was stout in net for the Predators Tuesday night, stopping 39 of 40 shots faced in a 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Fantasy Impact: Lankinen has been impressive in limited work in the crease of late for the Predators, allowing two goals or less in three of his last five starts (3-1-1, .920 save percentage) for the club. The 32-year-old netminder has been solid when called upon despite being extremely limited behind No. 1 goaltender Juuse Saros, posting a .924 save percentage and 2.64 GAA in 11 appearances (5-4-1) between the pipes so far this season.

Ryan McDonagh was able to find the back of the net for the Predators Friday night, scoring his first goal of the season in a 3-2 win over the Capitals.

Fantasy Impact: McDonagh has struggled to make a consistent impact on the score sheet of late for the Predators, posting points in just three of his last 15 games (one goal, two assists) for the club. The veteran blueliner has been more impactful to this point in the defensive zone for the Predators, carrying a +11 plus/minus to go along with nine points (one goal, eight assists) in 31 games so far this season.

Nino Niederreiter tallied one assist Saturday night in the Predators' 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Fantasy Impact: Niederreiter has now posted points in three of his last six games (one goal, two assists) for a disappointing Nashville offensive attack. The 30-year-old forward is a gritty option in Nashville's bottom six forward group, posting 14 points (10 goals, four assists) in 29 games so far this season.

Mikael Granlund recorded one assist Thursday night in the Predators' 2-1 overtime loss to the Jets.

Fantasy Impact: Granlund has posted points in just four of his last eight games for the Predators, scoring two goals and picking up two assists in that span for an underwhelming Nashville forward group. Granlund will look to turn things around, scoring just four goals and adding 15 assists for 19 points through 28 games so far this season.

Mattias Ekholm registered one assist Friday night in the Predators' 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Fantasy Impact: Ekholm has done little early in the season to provide any substantial fantasy value while operating as more of a stalwart in the defensive zone. The veteran defenseman will not post a large amount of point production as evidenced by his eight points (one goal, seven assists) in 23 games so far this season. Make no mistake however, as Ekholm will make his presence felt in ways that do not show up in the box score for the Predators.

Nashville Predators forward Cole Smith recorded an assist in Friday's season-opening win over the San Jose Sharks.

Fantasy Impact: Smith's second-period helper was the first point of his NHL career and helped give the Predators a lead they would not relinquish. The 26-year-old skated in just his 10th NHL contest on Friday but posted a solid 21 goals and 41 points across 59 contests with the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals a season ago.
