Juuse Saros - Stops 24 in win Saros stopped 24 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over the Senators.
Impact Drake Batherson's power-play goal late in the first period was the lone mark against Saros, as the 28-year-old netminder picked up a fourth straight win -- he's allowed just six goals on 115 shots in that span, holding opponents to two goals or fewer in each outing. Saros improves to 24-21-2 on the season with a .905 save percentage and 2.91 GAA. He'll likely be back between the pipes Thursday when the Predators host Minnesota.

Kiefer Sherwood - Slides helper in Sunday's win Sherwood notched an assist, four hits and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Sherwood entered the lineup Feb. 17 against the Blues and has racked up five points during the Predators' five-game road trip.

The 28-year-old Sherwood is up to 16 points, 68 shots on net, 154 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 45 outings.

Tommy Novak - Faceoff win generates assist Novak produced an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Novak won a faceoff back to Filip Forsberg, who quickly buried the Predators' second goal at 3:26 of the third period. The helper gave Novak 10 points over the last 10 games, a span in which he's been held scoreless only once. The 26-year-old center is up to 31 points, 77 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 48 appearances. Novak's consistency of late makes him a strong depth option in fantasy.
FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan O'Reilly - Nabs helper in win O'Reilly notched an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact O'Reilly was relatively quiet with three points during the Predators' five-game road trip. He doesn't have to score to make an impact, as he plays a strong two-way game and continues to be a positive at the faceoff dot. The center is up to 48 points, 137 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 59 appearances this season. O'Reilly has actually been a little better on the road with 26 of his points coming away from Bridgestone Arena, but he may get his offense back up when the Predators return home Tuesday to face the Senators.

Michael McCarron - Finds twine Sunday McCarron scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact The 28-year-old tallied at 8:43 of the third period, and his goal stood as the game-winner. It was McCarron's first goal since Jan. 29, though the forward has four points over his last six outings. For the season, the fourth-liner has career highs in goals (eight), points (16), shots on net (55), PIM (77) and blocked shots (34) while adding a plus-2 rating and 100 hits through 47 appearances.

Dante Fabbro - Supplies pair of assists Fabbro notched two assists, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Fabbro snapped a five-game point drought with the pair of helpers. Sunday's effort doubled his point total in 2024. The 25-year-old defenseman has two goals, 10 helpers, 51 shots on net, 43 hits, 71 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 46 appearances. Fabbro has exceeded the 11 points he recorded in 79 outings a season ago, but he's only worth streaming in DFS when he's paired with Roman Josi.
FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Gustav Nyquist - Fills empty net Nyquist scored an empty-net goal and went plus-3 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Nyquist scored three goals and added two assists during the Predators' perfect five-game road trip. All three of his tallies were empty-netters. The 34-year-old winger is up to 15 goals, 46 points, 110 shots on net and a plus-5 rating while logging top-line minutes and first-unit power-play time through 59 outings this season.

Impact Josi has been excellent since the start of January, racking up four goals and 21 assists over 22 games in that span. This was his first goal in seven contests. The star defenseman is up to 12 tallies, 54 points, 188 shots on net, 104 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 59 outings this season. Josi is tied for fifth in scoring among blueliners, which could lead to him earning some Norris Trophy buzz if he finishes the year well.
FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Filip Forsberg - Another two-point game Forsberg scored a goal on five shots, added an assist, went plus-2 and logged two hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Forsberg put the Predators up 2-1 with a quick shot from a faceoff win by Thomas Novak early in the third period. This was the fourth time in eight games that Forsberg has posted a goal and an assist, with his other four contests in that span being empty scoring lines. The 29-year-old winger is up to 59 points, 233 shots on net, 112 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 59 appearances. He's maintained a point-per-game pace just once in his career, so it's possible he could cool off slightly down the stretch.
FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Lankinen - Holds on for win Lankinen stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact The Ducks put in a good effort, but Lankinen was up to the challenge to earn his second win in as many starts. The 28-year-old allowed fewer than three goals for the first time in six appearances. He's now at 8-4-0 with a 3.23 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 17 appearances this season. Juuse Saros remains the Predators' starting goalie, while Lankinen's performance hasn't been strong enough to warrant anything more than a backup role.
