Marc Del Gaizo - Lands on waiversDel Gaizo was placed on waivers by the Predators on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

ImpactDel Gaizo appeared in the Predators' last four games since the team was dealing with several injuries, and he racked up nine hits and five blocked shots while averaging 17:10 of ice time. Jeremy Lauzon (lower body), Alexandre Carrier (upper body) and Roman Josi (lower body) have all appeared to make progress in their recovery recently, so Del Gaizo landing on waivers could signal that at least one of them will be back in action for Thursday's home game against Pittsburgh.

Jonathan Marchessault - Scores in Tuesday's winMarchessault scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.

ImpactThe Predators look to have something with a line of Marchessault and Filip Forsberg centered by Steven Stamkos. Marchessault has three goals and three assists over his last four outings, including his game-winning tally Tuesday. The winger is up to eight goals, 19 points, 97 shots on net, 52 hits and a minus-8 rating over 32 contests this season. If the line sticks together and continues to find success, the window to buy low on Marchessault in fantasy will close quickly.

Adam Wilsby - Pots first NHL goalWilsby scored the first goal of his career in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.

ImpactThe 24-year-old rookie flashed some slick offensive skill on the final goal of the night. With the Predators clinging to a 1-0 lead, Wilsby collected an errant pass from Steven Stamkos, danced around Reilly Smith, skated into the slot and went top shelf over Igor Shesterkin. With Roman Josi (lower body) injured, and Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) and Alexandre Carrier (upper body) both on IR, Wilsby has seen more than 21 minutes of ice time in four straight games and produced three points, seven shots on net, five blocked shots, three hits and a plus-4 rating. The 2020 fourth-round pick appears to be on his way to earning a regular spot in the lineup, even after Nashville's blue line gets healthier.

Steven Stamkos - Sparks offense in winStamkos collected two assists in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.

ImpactHe set up tallies by Jonathan Marchessault in the first period and Adam Wilsby in the third, and Stamkos extended his current point streak to a modest four games in the process. The 34-year-old center has struggled overall in his first season away from Tampa Bay, but he may be getting more comfortable in Nashville -- over the last 14 contests, Stamkos has produced four goals and 10 points with 27 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, 12 hits and a plus-minus rating of zero.

Filip Forsberg - Two helpers in Tuesday's winForsberg notched two assists in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.

ImpactHe had a hand in tallies by Jonathan Marchessault in the first period and Adam Wilsby in the third. Forsberg hasn't found the back of the net in 10 straight games, but he's been busy as a facilitator of late with five assists in the last four contests. On the season, the 30-year-old winger has nine goals and 22 points in 32 games.
