He's up to 30 points, 77 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 47 outings this season. The 26-year-old will likely continue to play on the third line since the Predators are clicking on a four-game winning streak.

Kiefer Sherwood - Pots two goals Saturday Sherwood scored twice in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Sherwood saw a team-low 11:15 of ice time, but he was still able to make an impact with the Predators' first and third goals. The 28-year-old has four points over his last four games. It's a good enough stretch to keep him in the lineup over Denis Gurianov and Egor Afanasyev. Sherwood has seven goals, a career-high 15 points, 67 shots on net, 150 hits and a plus-8 rating through 44 appearances this season.

Juuse Saros - Holds off Sharks Saros stopped 23 of 25 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Saros was sharp over the first two periods, and the Predators had enough of a lead to weather the Sharks' pair of goals in the third. This was his third win in a row, and he's allowed just five goals on 90 shots in that span. Saros struggled earlier in February, but he appears to be back on track. The 28-year-old is up to 23-21-2 with a 2.95 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 46 outings this season. He'll likely get rest Sunday when the Predators wrap up their road trip in Anaheim -- look for Kevin Lankinen to get that start.

Juuse Saros - Slated to start Saturday Saros is expected to start on the road against the Sharks on Saturday, per Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site.

Impact Saros has won his last two games while stopping 62 of 65 shots (.954 save percentage). He's up to 22-21-2 with a 2.97 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 45 appearances in 2023-24. The Sharks, who rank 31st offensively this year with 2.09 goals per contest, should be a very favorable matchup for Saros.

Impact Jankowski was sent down Friday, but he'll return to the Predators prior to Saturday's game against San Jose. The 29-year-old center has two goals in seven games at the NHL level this season. He'll likely slot back into a bottom-six role.

Evangelista is up to 26 points, 101 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 55 outings. His offense hasn't taken another step up in 2023-24, but he's at least finding some consistency in recent outings.
