Predators' Juuse Saros: Earns win over Blues
Saros stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blues.
Saros had a solid showing between the pipes Thursday, but it's not like he needed to be at his best since the Preds supported him with seven goals, including four from Steven Stamkos. Saros has been playing well lately and has won five of his last six starts, going 5-1-0 with a 2.70 GAA and a .917 save percentage over that span.

Predators' Juuse Saros: In goal at home Thursday
Saros will guard the home goal versus the Blues on Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Saros is set for his fifth straight start. He has gone 3-1-0 with 11 goals allowed on 139 shots over his last four outings. That's a big improvement compared to where he was at early in the year. The Blues have scored just 12 goals over their last six games, though they've managed a 3-3-0 record in that span.

Predators' Brady Skjei: Nets first goal of season
Skjei scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Avalanche.
Skjei has a point in each of the last two games after going eight contests without one. His tally Tuesday gave the Predators a 3-2 lead in the third period, but they couldn't make it stick. The 31-year-old defenseman has had a mediocre year so far with eight points, 47 shots on net, 27 blocked shots, 23 hits and a minus-15 rating through 29 appearances in a top-four role. He might be able to improve his offense, but his plus-minus figures to remain poor while playing on a weak team.

Predators' Reid Schaefer: Lights lamp Tuesday
Schaefer scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Avalanche.
Schaefer has produced two goals over six NHL appearances so far. His tally at 5:30 of the first period gave the Predators their first lead in this contest. The 22-year-old rookie has been limited to fourth-line minutes, which will hinder his ability to generate offense. He's added seven shots on net, seven PIM, 11 hits and seven blocked shots so far.

Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Power-play goal in shootout win
Marchessault scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Avalanche.
Marchessault has two goals over his last four games. This was his first power-play point since Nov. 1 versus the Flames. For the season, the 34-year-old winger is at six goals, three helpers, 54 shots on net, 36 hits and a minus-14 rating across 24 appearances. Marchessault is in a middle-six role, but he's a risky fantasy option until his offense becomes steadier.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Claims shootout win
Saros stopped 39 of 42 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Avalanche.
Cale Makar's power-play goal with eight seconds left in regulation sent the game to overtime, but Saros was perfect there and in the shootout to get a hard-earned win. He's won four of his last five outings, though he has given up 14 goals on 166 shots in that span. The 30-year-old is at 10-10-3 with a 3.03 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 23 starts this season, but he's starting to trend in the right direction. Saros would have a more favorable matchup if he starts versus the Blues on Thursday.

Predators' Nick Perbix: Slated to play
Perbix (upper body) is expected to be in the lineup versus the Avalanche on Tuesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Perbix is set to be included in a seven-defensemen lineup that will allow the Predators to manage his minutes if he's not quite up to speed. He missed the previous three games. The 27-year-old has four points and a minus-11 rating over 25 outings this season.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Facing tough opponent
Saros will guard the home goal versus the Avalanche on Tuesday.
Saros' three-game winning streak came to an end Saturday when he allowed six goals on 38 shots versus the Hurricanes. Tuesday's matchup is even tougher, as the Avalanche boast the NHL's top offense and also best defense, which could make it difficult for the Predators to give Saros any scoring support.

Predators' Cole Smith: Considered day-to-day
Smith (upper body) was labeled day-to-day by head coach Andrew Brunette ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Colorado, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Smith is still on injured reserve and won't be in action to face the Avs, but he certainly appears to be trending in the right direction. In his 13 appearances this season, the winger has scored three goals on 18 shots while dishing out 35 hits. Once cleared to play, Smith should slot into a bottom-six role for the Preds.

Predators' Alex Huang: Puts up three helpers
Huang logged three assists in QMJHL Chicoutimi's 7-6 overtime loss to Baie-Comeau on Sunday.
Huang has six helpers over his last three games. The defenseman continues to pile up assists this season, logging two goals and 24 helpers over 25 outings on the year. The 2024 fourth-round pick of the Predators is showing growth on offense, and his plus-18 rating is proof of improvement in his own zone as well.

Predators' Brady Martin: Breaks out of slump
Martin scored twice and added an assist in OHL Sault Ste. Marie's 7-3 win over Sarnia on Sunday.
Martin had 11 point over his first five games back in the junior ranks, then went five contests without a point. He's turning things around now with three goals and two helpers over his last two outings, giving him 16 points and a plus-7 rating over 12 appearances in total. The Nashville prospect has a promising future, but consistency will be something for him to focus on in the near term.

Predators' Matthew Wood: Tickles twine Saturday
Wood scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Wood has two goals over his last five games. He saw a move into the top six in November, but he's back in a smaller role now, which will limit his effectiveness. For the season, the 20-year-old winger has eight goals, 12 points, 41 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-4 rating over 21 outings.

Predators' Michael Bunting: Lights lamp on power play
Bunting scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Bunting has two goals and two assists over three games in December. The winger got the Predators on the board in the third period, though it was far too late to make a real impact in the game. Bunting is up to seven goals, 17 points (six on the power play), 40 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-7 rating over 28 appearances. His production doesn't stand out, but he's on the Predators' top power-play unit, so he could help in some fantasy formats.

Predators' Filip Forsberg: Two points in Saturday's loss
Forsberg produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Both points came in the third period in what was essentially garbage time, as the Predators had already fallen into a 6-1 hole. It was Forsberg's first multi-point performance in over a month, snapping a four-game point drought. The veteran winger has a disappointing 10 goals and 19 points in 28 contests -- a pace that would see him fall short of 60 points over a full season for the first time since 2016-17.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Needed in relief Saturday
Annunen stopped the only two shots he faced after replacing Juuse Saros midway through the third period of Saturday's 6-3 loss to Carolina.
Saros getting the hook had far more to do with the Predators' lackadaisical defensive effort than it did his own performance, and Nashville was down 6-1 when Annunen took the crease. The 25-year-old backup netminder has just one win in his nine appearances this season, going 1-4-1 with a rough 3.83 GAA and .846 save percentage.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Gets late hook Saturday
Saros stopped 32 of 38 shots before being replaced by Justus Annunen midway through the third period of Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Shoddy defensive effort in the first 8:12 of the final frame led to the final two goals against Saros and a 6-1 deficit for the Predators, forcing coach Andrew Brunette to make a desperation switch in the crease. The six goals allowed were a season worst for Saros, snapping a three-start win streak in which he'd given up a total of five goals on 86 shots. On the season, the veteran netminder is 9-10-3 in 22 outings with a 3.04 GAA and .893 save percentage.
