Schenn provided an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.

Schenn has just one goal over 11 outings in December, but he's added five assists. The center has also brought an edge with 33 hits and 17 PIM this month. Overall, he's been in a top-six role for much of this season, producing five goals, 13 helpers, 71 shots on net, 89 hits, 30 PIM, 30 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 36 contests.

Texier scored a goal on five shots in Monday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.

Texier was up on the first line at even strength Monday, logging 15:31 of ice time, his most since Oct. 31. The 25-year-old has been scratched more often than he's played since the start of November, suiting up for just 12 of 25 games in that span, though it appears he's turning things around. He has a goal and an assist over his last two contests and is now at five points, 30 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 18 appearances this season.

Shore was loaned to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.

Shore has contributed one assist, 13 shots on goal, eight blocked shots and 19 hits across 16 NHL outings this season. He has two goals and 10 points in 14 AHL appearances during the 2024-25 campaign.

Gaunce was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.

Gaunce hasn't earned a point in three NHL appearances this season while posting two shots on goal and four hits. He has eight goals and six assists in 21 minor-league outings this campaign.

Suzuki recorded one assist, one shot on net and two blocks in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Suzuki and his linemates on the top unit have been cold recently, but they were on the ice for two goals scored by Montreal defensemen. He has just one goal over his last nine outings, but eight assists during that stretch has helped Suzuki maintain a point-per-game pace with 35 (11 goals, 24 assists) over 34 appearances.

Stamkos scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Stamkos found the back of the net in the first period and opened the scoring for the Predators with his 10th goal of the campaign following a setup from Filip Forsberg. The veteran center has been peaking into form of late and has cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his last seven contests, tallying seven points (three goals, four assists) in that span.

O'Reilly scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

O'Reilly found the back of the net just 30 seconds into the third period to give the Predators a three-goal lead with a wrister following an impressive set-up from Filip Forsberg and Jonathan Marchessault. This was O'Reilly's third straight game with at least one point, and he's been very productive since returning from a three-game absence due to a lower-body injury, putting up six points (three goals, three assists) in his last six appearances.

Marchessault recorded two even-strength goals and a power-play assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

The 33-year-old winger is going through his most productive stretch of the season -- by a wide margin -- and extended his point streak to seven games with this impressive outing. Marchessault has three multi-point efforts and 11 total points (seven goals, four assists) in that seven-game span, bringing his season numbers to 24 points (12 goals, 12 assists) across 35 appearances.

Palmieri scored a goal with his lone shot in Monday's 7-1 loss to the Sabres.

Palmieri was the only player who managed to defeat Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, and he did it with a tap-in in the final stages of the second period when the Islanders were already down five goals. This was Palmieri's first goal since Dec. 8, when he found the twine in a two-point performance against the Senators. The 33-year-old has 12 goals and 25 points across 35 appearances this season.

Thompson scored an even-strength goal in Monday's 7-1 win over the Islanders.

Thompson found the twine for the first time since Dec. 11 in a 3-2 loss to the Rangers, and this goal also ended a three-game pointless streak for the 27-year-old center. Thompson could be in line to surpass the numbers he posted last season, when he recorded 56 points across 71 games, as he's notched 26 points (17 goals, nine assists) in 30 games so far in the current campaign.
