Spencer Stastney - Designated to non-roster list Stastney (personal) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.
Impact Stastney was absent from training camp for personal reasons. It's unclear when he will be ready to return. Stastney had five goals and 20 points in 44 games with AHL Milwaukee during the 2023-24 regular season. He also posted two goals and two assists in 20 appearances with the Predators last campaign before suiting up in three playoff contests.

Juuse Saros - Preseason matchup canceled Saros and the Predators will not travel to face the Lightning after Monday's preseason game was canceled due to Hurricane Milton.
Impact Saros wasn't expected to feature in this contest to begin with, as it was a scheduled final tune-up for Scott Wedgewood. With the game canceled, the veteran Saros will look to Thursday's Opening Night matchup with Dallas. Even with a steady backup in Wedgewood, Saros could still be among the league leaders in games played this season, making him an elite fantasy target.
OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Marc Del Gaizo - Waived by Nashville Del Gaizo was placed on waivers by the Predators on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Del Gaizo appeared in nine NHL games for Nashville last year, logging three points and 10 blocked shots while averaging 16:28 of ice time. He'll likely spend most of this season in the AHL.

Tommy Novak - Carries offense in preseason loss Novak scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's preseason loss to the Hurricanes.
Impact The 27-year-old center had a hand in every Nashville goal in a 5-3 loss, helping to set up Mark Jankowski with the man advantage in the first period and Cole Smith at even strength in the second before potting his own tally in the final stanza. Novak seems set in a top-six role, and while he may not see many shifts on the first power-play unit, he could see a lot of even-strength ice time alongside new teammates Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault. Novak set new career highs with 18 goals and 45 points in 2023-24, but he could be poised to blow past those numbers given the talent upgrade around him.
OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Juuse Saros - Perfect in final tuneup Saros turned aside all 12 shots he faced during Saturday's preseason loss to the Hurricanes.
Impact In Nashville's final preseason game, Saros was on the ice for just the first period before being replaced by Scott Wedgewood. Saros has played at least 64 regular-season games and collected at least 33 wins in each of the last three seasons, delivering a 2.73 GAA and .915 save percentage over that stretch. With an eight-year contract extension in his pocket, the 29-year-old netminder should be plenty busy again in 2024-25.

Juuse Saros - Starting against Carolina Saros will patrol the home crease in Saturday's preseason finale against Carolina, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.
Impact Saros posted a 35-24-5 record with a 2.86 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 64 regular-season contests in 2023-24. He will likely be among the busiest goaltenders again in 2024-25 because new backup Scott Wedgewood isn't a threat to steal any starts.
OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Blankenburg - Waived for reassignment Blankenburg was waived by the Predators on Thursday, per PuckPedia.
Impact Blankenburg played in 12 regular-season games for the Blue Jackets last year, notching one goal, 10 shots and 21 hits while averaging 16:13 of ice time. The 26-year-old blueliner figures to spend the majority of the upcoming season in the minors with AHL Milwaukee, though an injury or two could see him called up later in the year.
OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Roman Josi - Two helpers Wednesday Josi collected two assists in Wednesday's 6-4 preseason win over the Hurricanes.
Impact The veteran blueliner helped set up Nashville's first and last goals of the night, feeding Juuso Parssinen in the first period and Jonathan Marchessault in the third. Josi tied his personal best last season with 23 goals and racked up 85 points, the second-highest total of his career, and at 34 years old he doesn't appear to be slowing down. The Predators' offseason acquisitions of Steven Stamkos and Marchessault should also boost the ceiling of the entire offense, including Josi.
OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Marchessault - Lights lamp twice Wednesday Marchessault scored two goals, including the game-winner, in Wednesday's 6-4 preseason win over the Hurricanes.
Impact The veteran winger potted the final two tallies for the Predators in the contest, with fellow offseason acquisition Steven Stamkos setting up the winner late in the second period. Marchessault lit the lamp a career-high 42 times in 2023-24 during his final season with Vegas, but skating with Stamkos at even strength and on the power play could allow him to repeat that level of performance in his Nashville debut.
OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Scott Wedgewood - Shaky again Wednesday Wedgewood stopped just 11 of 15 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 preseason win over the Hurricanes.
Impact While Nashville's offense dominated play and built a 3-0 lead midway through the first period, Wedgewood wasn't exactly sharp on the limited shot volume he faced. The 32-year-old goalie was brought in this offseason to provide a steady veteran backup to Juuse Saros, but Wedgewood has coughed up 10 goals on only 38 shots in two exhibition outings for the Preds. If his struggles continue into the regular season, Magnus Chrona or Matt Murray could get a look as Saros' understudy instead.

Scott Wedgewood - Tending twine Wednesday Wedgewood will guard the road goal versus the Hurricanes in Wednesday's preseason game.
Impact Wedgewood will make his second start of the preseason in this contest. In his previous game, he gave up six goals on 23 shots, so he'll be looking to put in a better performance. Wedgewood figures to have minimal playing time in 2024-25 as a backup behind workhorse starter Juuse Saros.

Juuso Parssinen - Not reassigned to AHL Contrary to a previous report, Parssinen was not reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Monday.
Impact Parssinen is in the running for a role in the bottom six after signing a one-year deal with Nashville In September. The 23-year-old registered 12 points and a minus-6 rating in 44 regular-season games in 2023-24.

Impact Parssinen accounted for eight goals, 12 points, 54 shots on net and 62 hits over 44 regular-season outings with Nashville in 2023-24. If he starts the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, he could return to the NHL level at some point.
