Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Banks apple Saturday
Rotowire

Rotowire

Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Two helpers Thursday
Rotowire
Marchessault recorded two assists in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Scores twice Tuesday
Rotowire
Marchessault scored two goals in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.
Marchessault recorded his first multi-goal effort of the season, and it was also the fourth time he recorded two or more points in a single game. Unfortunately for the 33-year-old, this performance wasn't enough to stop Nashville's losing streak, which now sits at eight games. Marchessault has been one of the few reliable fantasy options on the Predators' roster, and he has 15 points (seven goals, eight assists) across 29 appearances. The efficiency has been lacking, however, and his 7.9 shooting percentage represents a career-low mark for the winger.

Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Tallies on power play in loss
Rotowire
Marchessault scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
This was Marchessault's first goal in four games to begin the year. Two of his three points have come with the man advantage. The 33-year-old winger opened the season on the second line but moved down to the third line as head coach Andrew Brunette shuffled up his middle six in an effort to spark the offense. More changes may be ahead after the Predators suffered their fourth straight loss. Marchessault has added 17 shots on net, seven hits and a minus-2 rating and should continue to be a fixture on the first power-play unit.

Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Supplies two helpers in loss
Rotowire
Marchessault recorded two assists, six shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
Of the Predators' three big free-agent signings, Marchessault had the most successful team debut. He set up a power-play goal by Filip Forsberg in the second period and also found Ryan O'Reilly for an extra-attacker tally in the third. Marchessault produced 42 goals and 69 points over 82 regular-season games with Vegas last year, his third season above the 60-point mark. The 33-year-old winger is a lock for top-six minutes and time on the first power-play unit in his first year with Nashville, and he should be a productive option for goals, shots and hits in particular.
