Predators' Luke Evangelista: Chips in on power play
Evangelista distributed a power-play assist and put four shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Wild.
Evangelista had the primary helper on Ryan O'Reilly's goal in the first period to tie the game at one apiece.

While he continues to take a step forward in his young career, Evangelista is a solid option in point-based fantasy formats. He could be a good player to roster in deep leagues for the rest of the season if his recent quality of play continues.

Predators' Steven Stamkos: Finds empty cage Sunday

Predators' Filip Forsberg: Finds twine in win
Forsberg scored a goal, fired five shots on net, recorded two blockers and served two PIM in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.
Forsberg put the Preds on the board with an even-strength goal midway through the second period. His twine finder brought his season totals up to 16 goals, 28 points, 112 shots on net and 68 hits across 35 games. After struggling offensively in November, the 31-year-old winger has helped Nashville succeed in December with 11 points, 25 shots on net and eight hits in his last eight games. Fantasy managers who stuck with Forsberg through his lows this season are being rewarded plentifully, as he is back to playing at an elite level for a red-hot Nashville squad. While he likely won't set a new career high of 95 points or better this season, he still has plenty of time to reach the 70-point mark for the third consecutive year.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Near shutout in win
Annunen stopped 16 of 17 shots on net in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.
Annunen was 37 seconds away from his first shutout of the season before he surrendered New York's lone goal of the night to Jonny Brodzinski. With the win, Annunen is up to a 2-5-1 record with a 3.43 GAA and an .866 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. His performance Sunday was one of his best this season, showcasing a flash of the skill he displayed early on last season. While he sits firmly behind Juuse Saros on the depth chart, Annunen has played better as of late, with his two wins this season coming in his last four starts. He could be in for a few extra starts if his decent run of play continues, but it is currently best to look elsewhere for a goaltender in fantasy. While Saros will likely start the next two games for the Predators, Annunen could see work early next week with the team set to play three games in four days between Dec. 29 and Jan. 1.
