Nashville Predators vs. Florida Panthers - News - November 07, 2024

Alexandre Carrier - Deals assist in lossCarrier notched an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.

ImpactCarrier ended a four-game slump when he helped out on a Steven Stamkos tally in the second period. The 28-year-old Carrier continues to see prominent minutes in a top-four role, averaging 20:16 per game while contributing five points, 11 shots on net, 14 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 13 outings. His fantasy utility depends on non-scoring production, particularly blocks, though he's off to a decent start in 2024-25 given the Predators' team-wide struggles.

Luke Evangelista - Snags assist in lossEvangelista registered an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.

ImpactEvangelista was originally set to be scratched, but Thomas Novak (upper body) was a late scratch instead. Staying in the lineup allowed Evangelista to snap a five-game point drought when he helped out on a Juuso Parssinen tally in the first period. Through 13 contests, Evangelista has six points, 25 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while averaging 12:32 of ice time. He's still needs to refine his overall game, but he may get a chance to do so in the short term if Novak and Colton Sissons (upper body) are both forced to miss time.

Philip Tomasino - Gets first point of seasonTomasino recorded an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.

ImpactWith the Predators still struggling to put good performances together, Tomasino was given a chance in the lineup after a seven-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old could have a longer run in the lineup since Thomas Novak (upper body) and Colton Sissons (upper body) are both questionable to play Thursday versus the Panthers and beyond. Tomasino has just one assist with six shots on net and four hits over five outings this season, so fantasy managers will want to see more offense out of him.

ImpactStamkos was moved up to the top line for Wednesday's game, swapping places with Gustav Nyquist. With three points over three games in November, Stamkos is starting to find more consistent offense. The 34-year-old is at six points (four on the power play), 35 shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-10 rating through 13 outings this season.
