Top Predators News

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Remains out Thursday

    Carrier (upper body) isn't available for Thursday's contest against Arizona, per Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site.

    Carrier is set to miss his second straight game because of the injury. He has four goals, 19 points, 40 PIM, 55 hits and 127 blocks in 66 outings in 2023-24. Spencer Stastney will return from an upper-body injury Thursday, but once Carrier is healthy too, Stastney might not have a spot in the lineup.

  • Predators' Spencer Stastney: Ready to return

    Stastney (upper body) will play Thursday versus the Coyotes, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.

    Stastney will draw in after missing five games with the injury. The 24-year-old defenseman will take the place of Marc Del Gaizo, who was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee prior to the game. Stastney has one goal, six shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 10 NHL appearances this season.

  • Predators' Marc Del Gaizo: Returns to minors

    Del Gaizo was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.

    Del Gaizo has three assists in nine games with Nashville this season. He's also provided eight goals and 32 points across 51 outings with Milwaukee.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Receives starting nod

    Saros will protect the road goal versus the Coyotes on Thursday.

    Saros has won five outings in a row, stopping 121 of 130 shots in that span. The Predators are the hottest team in the league, and Saros' play has been a big part of that -- he hasn't lost in regulation since Feb. 15, going 12-0-2 with a 1.92 GAA and a .932 save percentage over 14 contests in that span. The 28-year-old has a favorable matchup on the docket Thursday against an inconsistent Coyotes team.

  • Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Three points in win

    O'Reilly notched a goal and two assists in a 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights on Tuesday.

    Down 4-1 to begin the third period, O'Reilly started the comeback for the Predators by scoring the first of three consecutive goals. He followed that up with primary assists on the final two goals, including the overtime winner by Roman Josi. O'Reilly now has five points in his last three games, producing one goal and four assists over that span. This is one of O'Reilly's strongest seasons as a point producer, as he has 61 in 72 games and may even surpass his career-high of 71 in Nashville's final 10 regular-season games.

  • Predators' Filip Forsberg: Another multi-point effort

    Forsberg notched a goal and two assists in a 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights on Tuesday.

    Forsberg scored all of his points on the final three goals of the game, including a goal in the third period and an assist on the overtime goal. The 29-year-old winger is now riding a seven-game point streak - producing seven goals and seven assists for a two-point-a-game average - with four of these games being of the multi-point variety. Overall, Forsberg is a reliable fantasy option with a hot hand and strong potential to finish the season with career-best numbers. He should be a mainstay in your fantasy lineup.

  • Predators' Jeremy Lauzon: Returns to lineup

    Lauzon produced an assist and one blocked shot in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

    After missing the last three games due to a lower-body injury, Lauzon remained in his regular spot on the second pairing with partner Luke Schenn. Lauzon finished with an assist, four hits, one blocked shot and a minus-1 rating in 20:33 of ice time. This was only the third point for Lauzon in March. While he plays top-four minutes for the Predators, the 26-year-old cannot be relied upon for consistently producing points, especially since he does not see power-play time.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Gets overtime win

    Saros made 31 saves on 35 shots in a 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights on Tuesday.

    In a high-scoring affair, the two goaltenders faced the exact same amount of shots but Saros was able to save one more than his counterpart to come up with the win in overtime. The Predators found themselves down 3-0 in the first period but battled back, including Saros kicking aside the final 13 shots sent his way. Even though he only finished with a .886 save percentage, this was the fifth win in a row for Saros. He has not lost a game in regulation since Feb. 15 against Dallas.

  • Predators' Jeremy Lauzon: Set to return

    Lauzon (lower body) is expected to play versus the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.

    Lauzon missed three games because of the injury. He'll return to a second-pairing role alongside Luke Schenn. Lauzon has two assists and 58 hits over his last 11 outings.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Not available Tuesday

    Carrier (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Golden Knights.

    Carrier is in the midst of a nine-game point drought, so his absence likely won't have a large impact in fantasy. With Carrier out, Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) is likely to return Tuesday.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Slated to start

    Saros was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports, putting him on track to protect the home goal versus Vegas on Tuesday.

    Saros was unbeatable in his last start Saturday versus Detroit, stopping all 22 shots he faced en route to a tidy 1-0 victory. He'll try to extend his personal winning streak to five games in a home matchup with a surging Golden Knights team that's won four of its last five games.

  • Predators' Jeremy Lauzon: Game-time call for Tuesday

    Lauzon (lower body) will be a game-time decision against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.

    Lauzon looks poised to return from a three-game absence due to his lower-body issue. Prior to his absence, the 26-year-old defenseman was mired in an 11-game goal drought, during which he managed two helpers and 21 shots on net while dishing out 58 hits. If Lauzon plays Tuesday, Marc Del Gaizo will likely be scratched or head back to AHL Milwaukee.

  • Predators' Luke Schenn: Racking up hits

    Schenn had a shot on goal and six hits in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Red Wings.

    Schenn still doesn't score much -- he has just six points on the season and hasn't cracked the scoresheet in 16 games. However, he's a pretty good source of peripheral stats with 168 hits (good for fifth on the team) and 63 blocked shots (sixth), along with a plus-3 rating. Just don't expect Schenn to come anywhere near the 22 points he posted last season.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Otherworldly play over last month

    Saros made 23 saves in a 1-0 win over Detroit on Saturday.

    Saros has been otherworldly for more than a month. His last regulation loss was to Dallas on Feb. 15. Since then, Juice has gone 11-0-2 and looks every bit the part of a Vezina Trophy candidate. Time will tell -- he was robbed of a nomination last season after finishing fourth in the balloting. He was a finalist for the award in 2022. Saros is at the apex of his career, and his fantasy managers are reaping the benefits.

  • Predators' Filip Forsberg: Six-game, 11-point streak

    Forsberg scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over Detroit on Saturday.

    In a melee in front of the net late in the third period, Forsberg picked the puck up off an opponent's skate, went to his forehand and roofed it over Alex Lyon's glove. Forsberg is riding a six-game, 11-point streak. He has scored six times during a five-game goal spree during that span. Forsberg has put up at least one point in 13 of his last 14 outings, racking up 13 goals and 10 assists in that stretch. He has 39 goals and 78 points through 70 games, giving him plenty of time and momentum to surpass his 42-goal, 84-point output in 69 contests from 2021-22.
