Stastney logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Flames.
Stastney ended an eight-game point drought with the helper. The 25-year-old has played regularly in a bottom-four role this season, but he hasn't been the most consistent blueliner when it comes to offense. For the year, he's at seven points, 23 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating across a career-high 25 appearances.

Predators' Spencer Stastney: Tallies in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Stastney scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.
Stastney is helping his case for staying in the lineup with a four-game point streak (one goal, three assists). The 25-year-old defenseman has added eight shots on net, nine blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 10 appearances this season. He's already matched his career high in points for one NHL campaign, but he'll need to stay sharp to fend off any challenges for playing time from Nick Blankenburg.

Predators' Spencer Stastney: Returning to action Sunday
Rotowire
Stastney (upper body) is available for Sunday's game against Montreal, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Stastney missed Thursday's matchup against Dallas due to an upper-body injury, but he'll be back in action following a one-game absence. He's made 15 appearances since the start of March, logging three assists, 16 blocked shots, eight hits and two PIM while averaging 16:23 of ice time.
Stastney will miss Thursday's game against Nashville due to an upper-body injury.
Stastney has three assists in 22 appearances in 2024-25. His absence will probably result in Nashville dressing 12 forwards and six defensemen after utilizing an 11-7 split in its last game Tuesday, which would lead to Ozzy Wiesblatt drawing into the lineup. Stastney is considered day-to-day, so he might be an option to return Sunday versus Montreal.

Predators' Spencer Stastney: Produces helper in win
Rotowire
Stastney notched an assist in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.
Stastney had failed to earn a point over his previous nine NHL outings this season. The 25-year-old blueliner ended that slump with a helper on Luke Evangelista's empty-netter in the third period. Over the previous two campaigns, Stastney had six points in 28 appearances, so his offensive upside is limited. He's added nine shots on net, 10 blocked shots, two hits and a minus-4 rating in 2024-25 while seeing bottom-four minutes.

Predators' Spencer Stastney: Up from minors
Rotowire
Stastney was called up by Nashville on Thursday, according to John Glennon of NHL.com.
Stastney has a goal and three points in 10 outings with AHL Milwaukee in 2024-25. He's up from the minors since defensemen Adam Wilsby (upper body) and Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) are both dealing with injuries. If Wilsby and Lauzon can't play Friday versus Vancouver, then Stastney would likely draw into the lineup as a member of the third pairing.
Stastney's arbitration hearing will see him sign a two-year, $1.675 million contract with Nashville on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Stastney's deal will be a two-way contract in year one before converting to a one-way deal for the 2025-26 campaign. The 24-year-old blueliner has just 28 games of NHL experience in which he recorded two goals on 20 shots, four assists and 38 blocks. Given his two-way status for the upcoming campaign, Stastney figures to split his time between the AHL and NHL.
