Tommy Novak - Pockets helper Monday Novak earned an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Novak has generated five points over his last seven contests, though he's now gone five games without a goal. The 27-year-old forward is up to nine points, 50 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 28 appearances. Novak was listed as the third-line center Monday but saw a reduced role with the Predators dressing 11 forwards and seven defensemen. The team has struggled to score this year, making depth players like Novak risky options for fantasy managers.

Colton Sissons - Ends drought with helper Sissons logged an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Sissons has had a terrible time generating offense this season. His helper Monday ended an 18-game dry spell, during which he had 17 shots on net, 19 hits and 19 blocked shots with a minus-5 rating. Sissons has been in a bottom-six role most of the time after failing to seize an opportunity to play on the second line. He has three points, 31 shots on net, 38 blocks, 41 hits and a minus-15 rating over 34 appearances.

Mark Jankowski - Pots goal in win Jankowski scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Jankowski ended a five-game slump with his third-period tally, stretching the Predators' lead to 4-0. The 30-year-old forward has maintained a third-line role over the last month, earning six points across 15 games since rejoining the lineup on a regular basis Nov. 23. Jankowski is up to seven points, 33 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 27 appearances. He plays in a third-line role and only sees power-play time occasionally, so he's not a great option for most fantasy formats.

Steven Stamkos - Finds twine Monday Stamkos scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Stamkos found the back of the net in the first period and opened the scoring for the Predators with his 10th goal of the campaign following a set-up from Peter Forsberg. The veteran center has been peaking into form of late and has cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his last seven contests, tallying seven points (three goals, four assists) in that span.

Ryan O'Reilly - Scores power-play goal O'Reilly scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact O'Reilly found the back of the net just 30 seconds into the third period to give the Predators a three-goal lead with a wrister following an impressive set-up from Filip Forsberg and Jonathan Marchessault. This was O'Reilly's third straight game with at least one point, and he's been very productive since returning from a three-game absence due to a lower-body injury, putting up six points (three goals, three assists) in his last six appearances.

Filip Forsberg - Dazzling as playmaker Forsberg had two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Forsberg has been outstanding as a playmaker in recent weeks and has recorded 12 helpers across his last seven games, notching two or more in a single game five times in that stretch. The 30-year-old Swede hasn't scored a goal since Nov. 25, when he found the twine in a 5-2 loss to the Devils, but that won't matter much if he remains as influential as he's been as a playmaker in recent weeks. Forsberg is up to nine goals and 20 assists across 35 games this season.

Jonathan Marchessault - Three-point effort Monday Marchessault recorded two even-strength goals and a power-play assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact The 33-year-old winger is going through his most productive stretch of the season -- by a wide margin -- and extended his point streak to seven games with this impressive outing. He has three multi-point efforts and 11 total points (seven goals, four assists) in that seven-game span, bringing his season numbers to 24 points (12 goals, 12 assists) across 35 appearances.

Juuse Saros - Earns win over Carolina Saros stopped 25 of 27 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Saros was impressive in this contest and only allowed two goals in the second period en route to his eighth win of the campaign. The 29-year-old has had a few subpar outings, such as the 5-4 loss to the Penguins on Dec. 19 in which he stopped 15 of 20 shots, but he's been solid for the most part. Saros has posted a save percentage of at least .900 in three of his last four games, going 2-1-1 with a 2.50 GAA in that span.
