Rotowire
Sherwood was waived but still played Friday against Colorado, CapFriendly reports. He scored two goals in 16:06 of ice time.

Sherwood found the back of the net in a 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota on Thursday.
Sherwood was held off the scoresheet over his last five contests, and he ended his 10-game goal drought. He's up to five markers and 11 points in 31 contests this season. That puts Sherwood one goal and one point shy of his career highs going into Nashville's season finale against Colorado on Friday.

Predators' Kiefer Sherwood: Lights lamp Sunday
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Ducks.
Sherwood put the Predators ahead 3-2 early in the third period. This was his first goal since Opening Night, when he had a goal and an assist in Prague during the NHL's Global Series. The 27-year-old is up to two goals, three assists, 24 shots, 45 hits, 15 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 14 contests this season. He's been listed on the second line lately, but his usage more closely resembles a middle-six forward rather than a significant scoring threat.

Predators' Kiefer Sherwood: Assists in back-to-back games
Rotowire
Sherwood logged an assist and six hits in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.
Sherwood has an assist in each of his last two games. The 27-year-old winger has taken on a middle-six role for the Predators, who traded away many veteran wingers at the deadline. He's posted four points, 35 hits, 16 shots on net, 13 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 11 NHL outings this season.

Predators' Kiefer Sherwood: Collects helper in win
Rotowire
Sherwood registered a power-play assist, two shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Sherwood didn't have a point over his first four games during this stint with the Predators. His assist Saturday was his first NHL contribution since a two-point game versus the Sharks in the season opener in Prague. Sherwood has shown a scoring touch for AHL Milwaukee, logging 38 points in 42 contests, but the 27-year-old's three points through 10 NHL outings won't generate a lot of fantasy interest.

Predators' Kiefer Sherwood: Put on waivers
Rotowire
Sherwood was placed on waivers by Nashville on Wednesday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Sherwood was a healthy scratch in four of Nashville's last six games. He did manage to contribute a goal and two points in five contests this season despite averaging just 10:02 of ice time. He recorded 36 goals and 75 points in 57 AHL contests last season, but he's never been able to secure a regular top-six role at the NHL level and at the age of 27, it's doubtful that he ever will.
Sherwood scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Sherwood tallied the first goal of the NHL regular season just 61 seconds into this contest. He also helped out on a Nino Niederreiter tally in the second period. It was an interesting assignment for Sherwood to begin the year on a fully healthy Predators team -- he saw most of his 10:32 of even-strength ice time mainly with Niederreiter and Ryan Johansen on the second line. Entering this year, Sherwood has collected 18 points across 87 games over parts of four seasons with the Ducks and the Avalanche. It's unlikely he has a breakout at 27 years old, but he's at least started the campaign in a favorable role.

Predators' Kiefer Sherwood: Signs one-year deal
Rotowire
Sherwood signed a one-year, $750,000 contract with the Predators on Thursday.
Sherwood's deal is reportedly one-way, which bodes well for his chances of making the Predators' Opening Night roster. He had a stunning 36 goals and 39 assists in 57 games with AHL Colorado last year. He's seen 87 games in the NHL between the Ducks and the Avalanche over the last four years, amassing 18 points, so the forward is likely bound for a bottom-six role at best.

Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal on one shot and added a hit over 7:04 of ice time in Thursday's 4-1 win over Los Angeles.
Sherwood netted the game-winning goal after the Avalanche bottled up the Kings in their own end. During a puck battle along the boards, Brendan Lemieux's touch pass to a teammate landed at the skates of Sherwood, who wheeled and one-timed a shot past Jonathan Quick. It was the first goal of the season for the forward, who has served on the fourth line since being added to the active roster in the wake of Valeri Nichushkin landing in COVID-19 protocols.

Avalanche's Kiefer Sherwood: Playing with big club
Rotowire
Sherwood had one hit and one blocked shot over 5:22 of ice time in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over Minnesota.
Sherwood was added to the active roster after the Avalanche placed Valeri Nichushkin in COVID-19 protocols. Sherwood served on the fourth line while Logan O'Connor took Nichushkin's spot on the second line. Colorado has a back-to-back set coming up Wednesday at Anaheim and Thursday at Los Angeles, so Sherwood could be up with the team for another couple of games.

Avalanche's Kiefer Sherwood: Makes season debut
Rotowire
Sherwood had one shot on goal over 12:36 of ice time in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
Sherwood was called up from AHL Colorado to make his season debut amid a rash of injuries on the NHL roster. The Avalanche skated without forwards Mikko Rantanen (lower body), Andre Burakovsky (lower body) and Valeri Nichushkin (upper body, IR), then lost Martin Kaut midway through the second period with an undisclosed injury. Sherwood skated on the third line and should stick around for the short term. While at AHL Colorado this season, Sherwood led the Eagles with seven goals and 10 points over eight games.
