Marc Del Gaizo - Records helperDel Gaizo registered an assist and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

ImpactDel Gaizo looks to have job security now after the Predators lost Dante Fabbro on waivers to the Blue Jackets. The 25-year-old Del Gaizo is up to three assists, 15 shots on net, 16 hits, 12 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating through 10 contests. He should be able to add a little sandpaper in a third-pairing role, though it looks like he could also be a decent depth contributor on offense.

Juuso Parssinen - On four-game point streakParssinen notched an assist and four hits in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

ImpactParssinen has two goals and two assists during his active four-game point streak. He set up a Luke Evangelista tally in the first period of Monday's game. Parssinen has five points, six shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-2 rating through eight appearances. While it took him a while to gain a steady spot in the lineup, he appears to have it now as the third-line center.

Joel Kiviranta - Chips in with assistKiviranta notched an assist, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

ImpactKiviranta snapped a seven-game drought when he assisted on a Mikko Rantanen tally in the second period. The 28-year-old Kiviranta continues to fill a second-line role, though his time in that spot could be nearing a close. The Avalanche's cavalry is coming, with Jonathan Drouin (upper body), Miles Wood (upper body) and Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) all possible to return by the end of this week. Kiviranta has five points, 21 shots on net, 28 hits and eight PIM across 16 appearances, and he should be able to hold onto a bottom-six role once the team is healthier at forward.

Juuse Saros - Gives up three goals MondaySaros stopped 29 of 32 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

ImpactSaros was beaten twice in the second period and once more in overtime, though there wasn't much he could've done in the game-winning goal from Samuel Girard, as it was a breakaway for the Avalanche defenseman. Saros couldn't build on the 26-save shutout win he posted vs. Utah on Nov. 9, but his numbers have been very good of late. Over his last five outings, Saros has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.00 GAA and an excellent .934 save percentage.

Luke Evangelista - Scores goal in OT lossEvangelista scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

ImpactEvangelista opened the scoring for the Predators just 01:45 into the game with a wrister that went past Alexandar Georgiev. The 22-year-old winger endured a rough spell in recent weeks but seems to be trending in the right direction of late, notching points in three of his last four games with one goal and two assists in that span. However, Evangelista has just two goals in 16 games and owns a shooting percentage of just 6.9 percent, so he needs to be more accurate in front of goal to have any chance of being a reliable fantasy contributor.

Colton Sissons - Scores in loss to ColoradoSissons scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Colorado.

ImpactSissons found the back of the net within the first minute of the third period, and his goal forced the overtime period. However, he only has two points this season, although both have been goals across his last five appearances. Even if he's trending in the right direction, the 31-year-old is not producing enough to be worth a roster spot in most formats.

Samuel Girard - Scores game-winning OT goalGirard scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

ImpactGirard couldn't have chosen a better time to score his first goal of the season, as he took advantage of a breakaway to drill home the game-winning goal midway through OT. Girard has been productive of late, notching four points in his last four appearances, and he seems in a good pace to potentially recorded a new career-high mark in points this season.
