Novak scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
Novak's first career tally came at 11:56 of the first period. The 24-year-old is up to seven points, 25 shots and a minus-4 rating in 27 contests this year. He's moved up the lineup during the Predators' COVID-19 outbreak after mainly working in a fourth-line role to start the season.
