Juuse Saros - Starting in Detroit Saros (lower body) will start in Saturday's road game versus the Red Wings, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Impact Saros didn't dress for Thursday's season opener versus the Stars, but he was able to shake off the injury in short order. The 29-year-old went 35-24-5 with a 2.86 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 64 regular-season outings last season. Given his heavy workload and strong performance, he is a perennial top-5 goalie for fantasy purposes.

Matt Murray - Reassigned to AHL Murray was returned to AHL Milwaukee on Friday.
Impact The Predators required a back up for Scott Wedgewood on Wednesday as Juuse Saros was unable to dress due to a lower-body injury. The Predators play Saturday in Detroit and if Saros is still unable to play, look for Murray to be recalled once again.

Luke Evangelista - Garners assist Evangelista produced an assist in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
Impact Evangelista set up Thomas Novak's third-period tally. The 22-year-old Evangelista is on the third line to start 2024-25, and barring injuries, he looks to have little chance of attaining steady top-six minutes. The 22-year-old forward produced 39 points, 172 shots on net and 10 power-play points over 80 regular-season games in his first full campaign in 2023-24. He's too skilled to be a traditional third-liner, but with ice time hard to find, there may not be much growth in his offense this season.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Roman Josi - Helps out on power play Josi registered a power-play assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
Impact Josi had the secondary helper on a Filip Forsberg tally in the second period. Last year, Josi finished above a point-per-game pace for the second time in three years, producing 23 goals, 62 assists and 33 power-play points over 82 regular-season contests. The 34-year-old defenseman played 29:07 in Thursday's season-opening loss, over 10 minutes more than the next closest Nashville blueliner (Brady Skjei, 19:00). Josi figures to see heavy usage in all situations, and outside of hits, he should be a steady fantasy contributor across the board.

Jonathan Marchessault - Supplies two helpers in loss Marchessault recorded two assists, six shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
Impact Of the Predators' three big free-agent signings, Marchessault had the most successful team debut. He set up a power-play goal by Filip Forsberg in the second period and also found Ryan O'Reilly for an extra-attacker tally in the third. Marchessault produced 42 goals and 69 points over 82 regular-season games with Vegas last year, his third season above the 60-point mark. The 33-year-old winger is a lock for top-six minutes and time on the first power-play unit in his first year with Nashville, and he should be a productive option for goals, shots and hits in particular.

Ryan O'Reilly - Deposits goal in loss O'Reilly scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
Impact O'Reilly tallied with the extra attacker on the ice at 18:25 of the third period, but the Predators' comeback attempt fell short. Last season, O'Reilly had 26 goals and 43 assists in 82 regular-season contests, leading to his highest point total (69) since 2018-19. The 33-year-old is more of a playmaker typically, and he'll have strong fantasy value in formats that focus on offense and those that count faceoff wins.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Tommy Novak - Scores in Thursday's loss Novak scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
Impact Novak began the game on the second line, but his goal came early in the third period when he switched places with Colton Sissons. The 27-year-old Novak has the talent to be a top-six forward, but he'll have to be consistent to keep that role this season. He put up 45 points, 113 shots on net and a minus-3 rating in 71 regular-season outings last year, and his fantasy value relies exclusively on offense since he adds almost no physical play.

Filip Forsberg - One of each in loss Forsberg scored a power-play goal on four shots, added an assist, logged four hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
Impact Forsberg got the Predators on the board in the second period and added a helper on Thomas Novak's third-period marker. Nashville remodeled its forward group this offseason, but Forsberg could still be the best scorer on the team. The 30-year-old winger put up a career-high 48 goals and 94 points in 82 regular-season outings last year, and that was with a slightly elevated but reasonable 13.8 shooting percentage.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Scott Wedgewood - Loses to former team Wedgewood surrendered four goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
Impact While the Predators' new-look offense controlled play pretty well, the Stars were opportunistic against their former teammate, striking four times in the second period. Wedgewood got the Opening Night assignment because Juuse Saros (lower body) was unavailable. Depending on the length of Saros' absence, Wedgewood may have some short-term fantasy appeal, but he was roughly average last season with a 16-7-5 record, 2.85 GAA and .899 save percentage over 32 appearances.
