Predators' Roman Josi: Extends point streak to four games

The defenseman has two goals and seven points over the course of a four-game point streak, and Josi is now only four goals short of tying the career-high 15 he potted in 2014-15 as he marches towards the second 60-point campaign of his career. While Ryan Ellis and P.K. Subban are arguably bigger stars on the Preds' blue line, it's Josi who has been the the top fantasy asset of the bunch this year.

Predators' Roman Josi: Maintains career-best scoring pace

Josi now has 41 points in 55 games this season, putting him on pace to challenge his career-high 61-point campaign from three years ago. Seriously, we are running out of superlatives to describe this guy. Josi logs heavy minutes -- both at even strength and on the power play -- and he hasn't been held off the scoresheet for more than two games since October. Bottom line, he remains one of the NHL's elite scoring defensemen, and should be deployed at every opportunity.

Predators' Roman Josi: Breaks goal drought

Josi entered the contest failing to score a goal in 16 straight games despite directing 52 shots on net. In the second period, Josi was on a rare two-on-one where he received a pass from Austin Watson and beat a flailing Semyon Varlamov to put the Predators up 3-1. Josi now has eight goals and 36 points in 51 games, giving him a shot to surpass his career high of 61 points in 2015-16.

Predators' Roman Josi: Notches two more helpers Sunday

Consistency is an extremely attractive quality in fantasy, and Josi delivers that in spades. Consider this -- since the middle of October, the Preds' captain has never been held off the scoresheet for more than two consecutive games. Now with 34 points in 47 games, Josi has an excellent chance to surpass the career-high 61 points he posted three seasons ago.

Predators' Roman Josi: Hits 30-point plateau Friday

From a fantasy perspective, not much more can be said about the Preds' captain at this point -- he is currently tied for ninth in the NHL among defensemen with 30 points after 42 games, and ranks second in team scoring, just four points behind Ryan Johansen. Bottom line, as all poolies know, Josi remains a fantasy blue line stud and should be deployed at every opportunity.
