Nashville Predators

Juuse Saros was strong in net for the Predators Monday night, stopping 42 of 44 shots faced in a 3-2 win over the Flames.

Fantasy Impact: Saros has been solid in the crease of late for the Predators, allowing two goals or less in six of his last seven starts (4-3-0, .942 save percentage) for the club. The 27-year-old netminder continues to play an integral role in Nashville's quest for a wild card spot in the Western Conference, posting a 2.69 GAA and .919 save percentage in 63 appearances (32-23-7) so far this season.

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.

Thomas Novak tallied three points for the Predators Sunday night, scoring two goals and adding one assist in a 5-4 win over the Ducks.

Fantasy Impact: Novak has been solid in the offensive zone of late for the Predators, tallying points in eight of his last 12 games (eight goals, eight assists) for the club. The 25-year-old has offered steady late-season production for fantasy owners, posting a 0.82 point per game average (12 goals, 15 assists) in 33 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.

Roman Josi notched two assists in the Predators' 5-4 win over the Ducks Sunday night.

Fantasy Impact: Josi has not been much of a factor in the offensive zone of late for the Predators, recording points in just two of his last seven games (four assists) for the club. The 32-year-old blueliner has been one of the more consistent options for an inconsistent Nashville offensive attack for fantasy owners, posting 58 points (17 goals, 41 assists) in 64 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.

Filip Forsberg was able to light the lamp for the Predators Thursday night, scoring one goal in a 6-4 win over the Devils.

Fantasy Impact: Forsberg has now tallied points in six of his last 10 games for the Predators, scoring four goals and picking up three assists in that span. The 28-year-old has been a fairly consistent force after a frustrating start to the season for fantasy owners, recording 41 points (19 goals, 22 assists) in 48 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.

Nashville Predators defenseman Dante Fabbro recorded an assist in Friday's season-opening win versus the San Jose Sharks.

Fantasy Impact: Fabbro's assist came in the second period on teammate Nino Niederreiter's insurance marker that helped the club to a 4-1 victory. The 24-year-old's offensive game took a notable step forward last season as he recorded three goals and 24 points across 66 games. He'll need to continue that progress to find himself on fantasy rosters this season.

Nashville Predators forward Cody Glass collected an assist in Friday's season-opening win versus the San Jose Sharks.

Fantasy Impact: Glass tallied an early second-period assist that helped provide the Predators with a 2-1 lead they would not relinquish in the eventual 4-1 victory. One of the final players to crack the opening-night roster, the 23-year-old will look to build on a season that saw him notch 14 goals and 62 points across 68 AHL games a season ago.

Nashville Predators forward Eeli Tolvanen scored in Friday's 4-1 season-opening win over the San Jose Sharks.

Fantasy Impact: Tolvanen's early second-period tally proved to be the game-winner as part of a season-opening 4-1 victory over the Sharks. A former first-rounder and top prospect, Tolvanen has yet to hit his stride at the NHL level, collecting 11 goals and 23 points across 75 games last season. Still only 23 years old, the club will be looking for a step forward from the Finn in his second full NHL campaign.

Nashville Predators forward Kiefer Sherwood recorded two points in Friday's season-opening win over the San Jose Sharks.

Fantasy Impact: Sherwood tallied the first goal of the 2022-23 NHL season in the first period before assisting on Nino Niederreiter's second-period tally. It was a fine start to the season for a player that appeared in just 11 NHL games last season, notching a goal and an assist in the process. With eight goals and 20 points through 88 career contests, Sherwood needs continued success to become fantasy relevant.

David Rittich saved 44 of 48 shots to secure a Predators' 6-4 win over the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact: Rittich made his eighth start of the season and kept Nashville in the game while their offense found their groove. He is up to 208 shots allowed and 194 saves on the season. He doesn't have much value in fantasy formats but is a streaming option should Juuse Saros need another break.
