Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Gets first goal of campaign
Rotowire
Svechkov scored a goal and added three hits in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Panthers.
Svechkov tied the game briefly in the first period with his first goal of the season. The 22-year-old forward has just two points to go with 25 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-9 rating across 20 outings this season. He's playing bottom-six minutes, in part due to his lack of offense but also because he fills more of a defensive role at center. Svechkov's unlikely to be an option for most fantasy managers given his limited contributions on a low-scoring team.
Svechkov logged an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Svechkov was credited with a helper on Michael Bunting's third-period tally to pull the Predators within a goal. The helper was Svechkov's first point of the season. The 22-year-old center plays more of a defensive role on the third line, but he was scratched for a couple of games last week due to his slow start to the year. He's added 20 shots on net, six hits and a minus-3 rating across 12 appearances so far.

Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Slides helper in win
Rotowire
Svechkov notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.
Svechkov was a regular in the Predators' lineup from January onward. The 22-year-old finished the campaign with eight goals, nine assists, 64 shots on net, 32 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating across 52 appearances as a rookie this season. It's solid production, but as a first-round pick (2021), the scoring expectations will be elevated heading into 2025-26. In the long run, he projects to be a reliable middle-six center, so that will probably put him on the fringe in fantasy once he reaches his peak.

Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Plays hero in overtime Tuesday
Rotowire
Svechkov potted the game-winning goal and went plus-1 in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime win over the Islanders.
Svechkov fired just one shot on goal Tuesday, but it came at the right time -- he walked down the slot and blew one past Marcus Hogberg's blocker to seal the comeback victory for Nashville. Svechkov's tally ended a five-game goal drought, though he's only found the back of the net twice since Jan. 23. The 22-year-old has recorded eight goals, 16 points, 62 shots on goal and a minus-15 rating over 48 appearances in his rookie campaign.
Svechkov scored a goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
Svechkov found the back of the net for the first time since Jan. 23, when he notched a goal in a 6-5 win over the Sharks, and that might allow him to rediscover his best form. Svechkov's lack of production since the 4 Nations break has been disappointing, as he's notched only five points (one goal, four assists) in his last 17 outings.

Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Just five assists in last 19 games
Rotowire
Svechkov had two assists in a 5-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.
Svechkov has four assists and 19 shots in his last 18 games. The rookie has a reputation as a strong two-way player, but everything has been a struggle in Nashville this season, and he's sporting a minus-12 rating. Svechkov has just five assists in his last 21 games, averaging 12:24 of playing time. Any fantasy value he may have will likely come in future seasons.

Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Earns power-play assist in win
Rotowire
Svechkov notched a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
Svechkov has a helper in each of the last two games, and this was his first power-play point since Jan. 23, which was also a game in San Jose. The 21-year-old center is filling a third-line role at even strength while also picking up time on the second power-play unit, which could boost his offense down the stretch. Svechkov is up to 11 points (four on the power play), 49 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-11 rating over 34 appearances this season.

Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Grabs helper in overtime win
Rotowire
Svechkov notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
Svechkov set up Steven Stamkos' game-winner in overtime. While he doesn't have the points to show for it lately -- the helper ended an 11-game point drought dating back to the start of February for Svechkov -- he's gained trust as a two-way forward lately. The 21-year-old is up to 10 points, 45 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-11 rating over 33 appearances. After the Predators made numerous moves to reshape their forward group over the last week, Svechkov looks to be a lock to stay in the lineup down the stretch.

Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Adds helper Friday
Rotowire
Svechkov notched an assist and two hits in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.
Svechkov remains listed on the third line, though this was the third time in 12 games in January where he failed to reach 10 minutes of ice time. The 21-year-old forward was productive for the month, earning four goals and three assists in his bottom-six role. Overall, Svechkov has nine points, 33 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 21 appearances.

Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Seals chaotic win
Rotowire
Svechkov scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Sharks.
In Tuesday's similarly chaotic game back in Nashville, Svechkov's tally sparked the Predators' comeback from a four-goal deficit. Thursday saw the Sharks attempt to mimic their opponent, but Svechkov's third-period tally was enough for Nashville to get the win, giving the 21-year-old his first NHL game-winner. He's up to six goals, two assists, 28 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-3 rating over 18 appearances. Three of his eight points have come on the power play, and he may have appeal in deeper fantasy formats as long as he continues to see time with the man advantage.
Svechkov scored a power-play goal on four shots in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.
When Svechkov scored, it cut the Sharks' lead to 5-2, but it was the first of six straight goals for the Predators in a franchise-best comeback win. The 21-year-old has scored in each of the last two games, and he could benefit if Nashville keeps putting up big numbers -- they've scored 13 times over those contests. For the season, Svechkov has five goals, one assist, 25 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-2 rating over 17 appearances.

The 21-year-old forward is up to four goals, one assist, 21 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-3 rating over 16 NHL appearances. He remains in the lineup as a bottom-six option as the Predators deal with injuries to multiple depth forwards.

Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Goal, assist in win
Rotowire
Svechkov scored a goal on two shots, dished a power-play assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Svechkov set up the first of Ryan O'Reilly's three goals in the game. In the third period, Svechkov got to a loose puck after a faceoff and swatted it past Dustin Wolf for the Predators' third goal. Svechkov earned his first multi-point effort at the NHL level. The 21-year-old forward has collected four points, 14 shots on net, 11 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 11 outings this season. If he continues to play well in the absences of Thomas Novak (upper body), Cole Smith (lower body) and Zachary L'Heureux (suspension), Svechkov could stick around with the big club for a while, though likely in a bottom-six role.

Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Breaks up shutout bid
Rotowire
Svechkov scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Senators.
Svechkov tallied with 1:57 left in the third period to break up Linus Ullmark's shutout bid. He has two goals over his last four games, accounting for all of his points at the NHL level. Through eight appearances, Svechkov has added nine shots on net, seven hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. The 21-year-old is getting a chance in a middle-six role at even strength and on the second power-play unit, but he still has a lot to prove before he'll be an option for fantasy managers.

Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Nets first NHL tally
Rotowire
Svechkov scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
The goal was Svechkov's first point at the NHL level. The 21-year-old has played in five straight games, and he's getting an extended look due to the Predators' struggles out of the gate this year. Svechkov could see a larger role if the team continues to struggle, and it's unlikely he'll be heading back to AHL Milwaukee unless he enters a deep slump. In addition to his goal, he has six shots on net, four hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating while logging bottom-six minutes.
