Predators' Nick Perbix: Still sidelined Saturday
Perbix (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Hurricanes, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Perbix will miss his third straight game with the injury. His next chance to play is Tuesday versus the Avalanche. Adam Wilsby is set to stay in the lineup during Perbix's absence.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Looking to keep rolling
Saros will protect the road goal versus the Hurricanes on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Saros has allowed just five goals on 86 shots during his three-game winning streak. He'll get his toughest test in a while against the Hurricanes, though they've scored just 14 goals while going 3-3-0 over their last six games.

Predators' Joakim Kemell: Three-point effort Friday
Kemell scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Milwaukee's 6-4 loss to Chicago on Friday.
Kemell has four goals and three assists over his last five games. He's earned a couple of NHL stints this season, and it's only a matter of time before the 21-year-old sticks in Nashville. At the AHL level, he's racked up five goals and eight assists over 13 appearances.

Predators' Ryan Ufko: Picks up trio of points
Ufko scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Milwaukee's 6-4 loss to Chicago on Friday.
Ufko has two goals and five assists during a five-game point streak. He's had two really good stretches this season, sandwiched around a quiet run. He's at six goals, 20 points, 37 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 19 appearances. He had just 30 points in 72 regular-season outings a year ago, and it seems to be only a matter of time before the Predators give him a look at the NHL level.

Predators' Jack Ivankovic: Shuts out in-state rivals
Ivankovic posted a 23-save shutout in the University of Michigan's 3-0 win over Michigan State University on Friday.
A performance like that, in a battle between two highly-ranked programs, is a massive feather in the cap for Ivankovic. He's already earned three shutouts this season while going 16-3-0 for the No. 1 ranked Wolverines. He's also posted a 1.90 GAA and a .926 save percentage over 19 appearances. The Predators look to have a quality prospect on their hands, especially if he continues to improve from what he's done as a freshman so far.

Predators' Cameron Reid: Three-point effort Friday
Reid scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Kitchener's 6-3 win over Peterborough on Friday.
Reid has five goals and three assists over his last six outings. The Nashville prospect has found a bit more consistency on offense after struggling in that regard for much of November. On the year, he has eight goals and 17 helpers through 26 appearances. The 2025 first-round pick has grown his offense while remaining steady in his own zone so far in 2025-26.

Predators' Justin Barron: Shifted to IR
Barron (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Friday and is considered week-to-week.
Barron has already been out of action for the Preds' last seven contests and doesn't appear to be close to returning. Considering the 24-year-old blueliner has managed just four points in 19 outings this year, his absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers. Even once given the all-clear, Barron could find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

Predators' Ozzy Wiesblatt: Lands on injured reserve
Wiesblatt (upper body) is expected to miss 8-10 weeks and has been placed on injured reserve Friday.
Based on his timeline, Wiesblatt likely will be out of action through the Olympic break in February, though it's possible he gets into a game or two before then. In 24 outings this year, the 23-year-old winger has tallied one goal on 22 shots, three assists and 60 hits while averaging 10:38 of ice time. Tyson Jost figures to see the biggest uptick in ice time with Wiesblatt out of action.

Predators' Steven Stamkos: Nets overtime winner
Stamkos scored a goal, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Panthers.
Stamkos has four goals and two assists over his last five contests while going plus-4 in that span. The 35-year-old's offense has been sparked by a move up to the top line, where he's found some chemistry with Ryan O'Reilly. Stamkos is now at eight goals, three helpers, 50 shots on net, 21 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-8 rating across 27 appearances.

Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Sparks comeback win in Florida
O'Reilly produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Panthers.
With the Predators down 1-0 midway through the third period, the veteran center banged a puck past Sergei Bobrovsky from in close to tie it. O'Reilly then got the puck back to Steven Stamkos on the rush with less than a minute left in OT for the winner. O'Reilly has three multi-point performances in the last five games, a stretch in which he's popped for three goals and eight points -- double his production from the prior 12 contests (one goal, four points).

Predators' Juuse Saros: Sharp in OT win
Saros made 30 saves in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Panthers.
Carter Verhaeghe got a puck past Saros late in the first period, but the veteran netminder shut down the Florida offense the rest of the way, giving Nashville a chance to finally solve Sergei Bobrovsky in the other crease. Saros has won three straight starts, allowing just five goals on 86 shots during that stretch to even his record on the season at 9-9-3 with a 2.86 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 21 appearances.

Predators' Ozzy Wiesblatt: Suffers upper-body injury
Wiesblatt won't return to Thursday's game against Florida because of an upper-body injury.
Wiesblatt logged just 15 seconds of ice time before exiting the game. If he can't play Saturday in Carolina, then Tyson Jost will probably draw into the lineup.

Predators' Justin Barron: Still out Thursday
Barron (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Panthers, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Barron remains out on a day-to-day basis with the injury. It's unclear if he'll get back into the lineup immediately once healthy, thanks to the strong play of Nick Blankenburg recently. The Predators face the Hurricanes on Saturday.

Predators' Nick Perbix: Out Thursday
Perbix (upper body) isn't available Thursday versus Florida, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Perbix has two goals and four points in 25 outings in 2025-26. He was also out of the lineup for Tuesday's 5-1 win over Calgary. Adam Wilsby is set to play in his second straight game due to Perbix's absence.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Set to return
McCarron (lower body) is expected to be in the lineup versus the Panthers on Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
McCarron missed one game with the injury, but he's slated to be back in a third-line role. The 30-year-old provides more of a physical boost than a lift to the Predators' offense. Tyson Jost will exit the lineup to make room.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Set to face Florida
Saros is expected to start on the road against Florida on Thursday, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.
Saros has an 8-9-3 record, 2.97 GAA and .893 save percentage in 20 outings this season. He's won his past two starts while stopping 51 of 55 shots (.927 save percentage). The Panthers are in a five-way tie for 15th in goals per game with 3.00.

Predators' Matt Murray: Secures second shutout of season
Murray posted a 29-save shutout in AHL Milwaukee's 3-0 win over Iowa on Wednesday.
Murray has two shutouts this season, which he's opened by going 9-1-2 in 12 games. He's added a 1.98 GAA and a .936 save percentage. The Predators don't currently have a need for Murray at the NHL level, but he'll get the call if Juuse Saros or Justus Annunen get hurt.
