Predators' Tyson Jost: Gets late goal
Jost scored a goal, added four PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Jost has been in and out of the lineup for the better part of the last month. The 27-year-old's goal was his first since Oct. 21. He's at a total of two goals, five points, 23 shots on net, 28 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 22 appearances in a fourth-line role. Jost's spot in the lineup is already shaky, and if the Predators decide to punt this season and evaluate some prospect forwards, he could land on waivers to clear a roster spot.

Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Strikes on power play in loss
Marchessault scored a power-play goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Marchessault has three goals, including two with the man advantage, over his last six games. He went 10 outings without a goal prior to a two-game absence for a lower-body injury. The 34-year-old winger is still having a disappointing campaign with seven goals, 10 points, 58 shots on net, 37 hits and a minus-18 rating through 26 appearances.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Surrenders three goals in loss
Annunen stopped 37 of 40 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Annunen gave up the first two goals of the game, and Victor Olofsson's tally in the middle of the second period sent the Finnish netminder to a loss. Annunen has allowed 13 goals on 109 shots over his last five outings (three starts). For the season, he's just 1-5-1 with a 3.73 GAA and an .865 save percentage. His poor play and Juuse Saros' recent improvements have led to Saros getting the bulk of the starts for Nashville lately. Annunen will likely get into one of the Predators' next four games since they have a back-to-back set next weekend.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Set to face Colorado
Annunen is expected to start on the road against Colorado on Saturday, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.
Annunen has struggled this campaign, posting a 1-4-1 record, 3.83 GAA and .846 save percentage in nine appearances this season. Going up against the Avalanche isn't likely to give him better results. Colorado is 22-2-7 and ranks first in goals per game with 4.00. Annunen began his NHL career with Colorado before being traded to Nashville during the 2024-25 campaign. He's making his first career start against his former team.

Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Assigned to AHL
L'Heureux (lower body) was loaned to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday.
L'Heureux didn't see any playing time with the Predators following his recall from the minors in early November because of a lower-body injury. The 22-year-old forward should see game action in the AHL now that he's healthy.

Predators' Nick Perbix: Nabs helper
Perbix posted an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blues.
Perbix recently missed three games with an upper-body injury, and this was his second contest back in the lineup. Following Friday's trade of Spencer Stastney to Edmonton, Perbix should be slated to see his ice time pick up if the Predators return to dressing six blueliners. Perbix has five points, 30 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 15 hits and a minus-9 rating through 27 appearances.

Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Picks up two helpers
Svechkov logged two assists and a plus-4 rating in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blues.
Svechkov has found some steady production lately with a goal and five assists over his last nine outings. The 22-year-old was on the second line Thursday, but he's typically been in a bottom-six role for much of the season. He's at seven points, 36 shots on net, 24 hits and 11 blocked shots over 28 appearances, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect sustained success on offense.

Predators' Matthew Wood: Offers pair of helpers
Wood produced two assists and went plus-4 in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blues.
Wood logged his first multi-point effort since his Nov. 10 hat trick versus the Rangers. The 20-year-old winger has moved around the lineup a bit, which has led to some inconsistency in his offense. He's at 14 points, 42 shots on net, 16 hits and an even plus-minus rating across 23 outings overall.

Predators' Nick Blankenburg: Offers pair of helpers
Blankenburg notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blues.
Blankenburg has made himself indispensable in a third-pairing role this season. The defenseman has three goals and five helpers over his last nine outings, production that should have the attention of fantasy managers even in a role that could be prone to some dips in production. Overall, he's at 14 points, 32 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 15 hits and a minus-5 rating through 20 appearances.

Predators' Roman Josi: Earns two assists
Josi logged a pair of assists, four shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blues.
Josi earned his first multi-point effort of the season. He has five helpers and a plus-2 rating over his last six contests. The Swiss defenseman is up to 12 points, 47 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 18 appearances. Josi's play has improved during a hot stretch for the Predators, so fantasy managers should continue to be patient for him to round into form.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Racks up three assists
Evangelista recorded three assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blues.
Evangelista has five helpers over his last three games, but he's gone five games without a goal. The 23-year-old is still productive as a top-line playmaker. He's at 23 points (seven on the power play), 65 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 29 contests.

Predators' Michael Bunting: Pads lead on power play
Bunting scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blues.
Bunting has three goals and two assists over his last five games. The 30-year-old had the last tally in Thursday's blowout win. From a third-line role, he's up to eight goals, 18 points (seven on the power play), 44 shots on net and a minus-7 rating across 30 appearances.

Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Extends hot streak
O'Reilly scored a goal in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blues.
Even though Steven Stamkos grabbed most of the praise following his four-goal performance, it's hard to overlook what O'Reilly has been doing of late. The 34-year-old veteran has cracked the scoresheet in six of the Predators' last eight games, tallying 10 points (four goals, six assists) in that span. He's up to 23 points on the season, and he should continue to see plenty of opportunities to rack up points as long as he remains on the first line skating alongside Stamkos and Luke Evangelista.

Predators' Filip Forsberg: Pots goal in blowout win
Forsberg scored a goal and took five shots in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blues.
Forsberg has cracked the scoresheet in three games in a row and seems to be leaving his slump behind -- he was coming off an eight-game stretch in which he recorded just two points (one goal, one assist) between Nov. 16 and Dec. 4. Forsberg should continue to have plenty of opportunities to produce as long as he continues to maintain a top-six role in the lineup.

Predators' Steven Stamkos: Scores four goals Thursday
Stamkos scored four goals in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blues.
Stamkos scored four goals in a single game for the second time in his career and also tied the franchise record for most goals in a single game. He's up to 594 career goals, good for 22nd best in league history, and he seems to be getting hot in recent weeks. Stamkos has scored in five of the Predators' last eight games, tallying eight goals, two assists, 25 shots and eight hits in that span.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Earns win over Blues
Saros stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blues.
Saros had a solid showing between the pipes Thursday, but it's not like he needed to be at his best since the Preds supported him with seven goals, including four from Steven Stamkos. Saros has been playing well lately and has won five of his last six starts, going 5-1-0 with a 2.70 GAA and a .917 save percentage over that span.
