Martin picked up an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
Martin got on the scoresheet in his second NHL game. He's been listed on the Predators' first line, but he's averaged a modest 11:42 of ice time while adding just one blocked shot and no other fantasy-relevant statistics to begin his career. The 18-year-old was selected fifth overall in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft and is looking to stick with the big club, though he could head back to the junior ranks after a nine-game audition.

Martin centered the top line with Filip Forsberg and Ryan O'Reilly on his wings in his NHL debut Thursday in a 2-1 win over Columbus.
Martin was a minus-1 with one blocked shot in 12:44 of action, including 2:07 on the power play. He was selected fifth overall in the 2025 NHL Draft and made the Predators out of training camp. It's likely that he will return to OHL Sault Ste. Marie before Nashville burns a year of his entry-level deal at the 10-game mark.

Predators' Brady Martin: Pens entry-level deal
Rotowire
Martin signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Nashville on Wednesday.
Martin, who was selected by the Preds with the fifth overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, figures to spend another year with OHL Soo, furthering his long-term development. Last year, the 18-year-old center notched an impressive 33 goals and 39 assists in 57 regular-season contests before adding four points in five playoff tilts. With his contract in place, Martin could get a look during training camp before returning to juniors.
