Bourque notched an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche.

This was Bourque's third game back after missing four due to an upper-body injury. The 24-year-old remains in a second-line role, though he was on the wing Sunday rather than at center. He's earned two assists, 13 shots on net and six hits across seven appearances to begin his Nashville tenure.

Josi notched three power-play assists, four shots on goal and four PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche.

Josi has a trio of multi-assist games this season. He continues to be particularly effective on the power play, earning eight of his 11 helpers in that situation. The defenseman has 12 points, 27 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 11 appearances on the year. Josi remains a steady fantasy option in a top-pairing role, especially with Nashville's power play converting one-third of its chances so far.

Drury scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche.

Drury was able to get in on the fun against his former team, stretching the Predators' lead to 4-0 in the second period. The 26-year-old center has scored twice and added an assist over his first 11 games with Nashville after an offseason trade sent him away from Colorado. He's added 14 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, eight hits and a minus-3 rating in a depth role this year.

Forsberg scored a goal and added two assists, all on the power play, in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche.

Forsberg had gone two games without a point entering Sunday. This was his third multi-point effort of the campaign. The Predators have largely stayed away from loading up their top line, with Forsberg playing on the second line instead to spread out the offense. He's earned two goals, nine assists, 28 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating across 11 appearances this season.

Stamkos scored twice on four shots and added an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche.

One goal and the assist came on the power play. Stamkos hadn't made a splash with the man advantage since Oct. 10 versus the Senators. The 36-year-old forward is still piling up points, earning seven goals, seven helpers, seven power-play points, 23 shots on net and a minus-2 rating across 11 outings this season.

O'Reilly scored two power-play goals on five shots, added two assists and logged two PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche.

One of O'Reilly's helpers also came on the power play. This was the best game of the season for O'Reilly, though he has largely been consistent in a top-line role to begin the campaign. He's up to six goals, six assists, six power-play points, 26 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 11 appearances. He remains a steady source of offense even in his age-35 season.

Annunen stopped 19 of 21 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche.

Annunen handled the second half of a back-to-back and delivered a good performance against a tough opponent. He was able to outplay the goalie he was traded for, Scott Wedgewood, to pick up his first win of the season. Annunen has given up eight goals on 52 shots over two starts, and he likely won't see a lot of playing time as Juuse Saros' backup. Expect Saros to get the nod for Tuesday's home game versus the Islanders.

Fleury notched an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens in the Heritage Classic.

The helper was Fleury's first point in seven appearances this season. The 30-year-old defenseman is filling a third-pairing role, though his power-play usage is set to drop after Elias Salomonsson entered the lineup Sunday. Fleury has added 10 hits, six blocked shots and a minus-3 rating on the year. He had just four points and a minus-18 rating over 38 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, so there's little scoring upside in his game.

Rosen scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens in the Heritage Classic.

Rosen's first goal of the season came in an outdoor game. The 23-year-old has filled a middle-six role with power-play time so far, but he has just two points, 14 shots on net, six hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 11 appearances. The Jets' addition of Dawson Mercer in the Connor Hellebuyck trade could make it even tougher for Rosen to work his way into the top six if head coach Scott Arniel shuffles the team's lines.

Skinner allowed two goals on 21 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens in the Heritage Classic.

Skinner put in a decent effort, but he didn't get enough help from his teammates. This was a fourth straight defeat for Skinner, who is 0-2-2 with 10 goals allowed on 115 shots in that span. He's now 3-2-3 with a 2.60 GAA and a .911 save percentage through eight starts overall. These ratios are on the better end of his performances over the years -- it's unlikely to be sustainable in the long run. That said, Skinner has enough experience to maintain the starting role over both Nico Daws and Clay Stevenson unless he suffers a run of truly terrible performances. The Jets take things back indoors when they host the Panthers on Tuesday.
