Colton scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.
Colton snapped a seven-game goal drought with the tally. He had one assist in that span. While there's a few extra minutes for forwards up for grabs when the Predators dress seven blueliners, Colton remains functionally in a fourth-line spot. He has four points, 18 shots, 36 hits, 10 blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-3 rating across 13 outings this season.
