Juuso Parssinen - Gets second-line look Parssinen had two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Parssinen saw second-line minutes at even strength, though he remains out of the power-play rotation. The 23-year-old has one assist, two shots, four hits, three blocks and a minus-4 rating over three appearances this season, but he's been in the lineup for two straight games. The Predators are still looking for an answer to their second-line center problem, and if Parssinen can get his offense going, he may earn that spot over Colton Sissons and Thomas Novak.

Philip Tomasino - Lacking playing time Tomasino was a healthy scratch for the sixth game in a row when he sat out Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Tomasino began the campaign in a bottom-six role, but he appears to have been leapfrogged by Zachary L'Heureux. In his four appearances, Tomasino has just five shots on net, two hits and a minus-2 rating while averaging 9:27 of ice time. He'll likely get another look eventually, but his 32-point rookie campaign from 2021-22 is starting to look more and more like an anomaly.

Marc Del Gaizo - Delivers assist in win Del Gaizo produced an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Del Gaizo had a shot attempt tipped in by Colton Sissons late in the second period. The helper was Del Gaizo's first point in five NHL outings this season. The 25-year-old blueliner has added 11 shots on net, seven hits, six blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-1 rating. With Dante Fabbro losing favor early in the season, Del Gaizo could have a chance to stake his claim to a third-pairing role.

Zachary L'Heureux - Pockets helper L'Heureux notched an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact L'Heureux had the secondary helper on Colton Sissons' go-ahead goal in the second period. This was the second assist in six games for L'Heureux this season. The 21-year-old has added three shots on net, 19 hits, two PIM and a plus-1 rating. He's seeing fourth-line minutes in his first taste of NHL action, but he could earn a look in the middle six later in the campaign if he puts up decent scoring numbers. If he gets hot, he could also be a streaming option in fantasy formats that reward hits.

Jonathan Marchessault - Grabs power-play helper Marchessault logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Marchessault helped out on Roman Josi's tally in the third period, which was the game-winner. There's signs of life in Marchessault's game -- he has three points over his last four games, including a pair of power-play helpers. The winger has earned five of his seven points with the man advantage this season while adding 38 shots on net, 20 hits and a minus-5 rating over 11 outings.

Ryan O'Reilly - Adds assist with man advantage O'Reilly provided a power-play assist, blocked two shots and won 15 of 25 faceoffs in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact O'Reilly entered Saturday with a 51.6 percent win rate on faceoffs, but he raised it to 52.5 percent with a strong showing at the dot. While his faceoff work has been worse than usual this year, he's still offering quality offense. He has three goals, six assists, 19 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 11 appearances, and three of his points have come on the power play. O'Reilly's two-way play makes him a virtual lock to stay on the top line throughout the campaign.

Colton Sissons - Tallies first goal of season Sissons scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Sissons put the Predators ahead 2-1 when he tipped home a Marc Del Gaizo shot at 18:40 of the second period. The tally was Sissons' first point in 11 appearances this year. The 30-year-old was moved down to the fourth line at even strength Saturday, but he still saw 14:53 of ice time -- he's a strong defensive forward and will earn more minutes than the average bottom-six forward because of that. He's produced 10 shots on net, 18 hits, 11 blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-10 rating so far, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Sissons stay on the fourth line for a while after he's struggled in the middle six.

Filip Forsberg - Fills empty cage Forsberg scored an empty-net goal on five shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Forsberg has put up four goals over his last five games, one of which was on the power play. The 30-year-old winger gave the Predators some breathing room, scoring just 1:03 after Nathan MacKinnon pulled the Avalanche within a goal. Forsberg is up to six tallies, 10 points, 51 shots, 28 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 11 contests. Nashville's offense has gotten off to an uneven start, but Forsberg is as consistent as ever in his top-line role.

Gustav Nyquist - Makes late impact Nyquist scored a goal, added an assist, went plus-2 and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Nyquist's pair of points came on empty-netters -- he set up Filip Forsberg's freebie before scoring one of his own 33 seconds later. This was Nyquist's second multi-point effort of the campaign. After a slow start, the winger has four goals and three assists over his last seven outings to get his offense on track. That's all of his points through 11 appearances, and he's added 13 shots on net, eight blocked shots, six hits and a plus-1 rating while playing in the top six and on the second power-play unit.

Steven Stamkos - Logs pair of power-play points Stamkos scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Stamkos has earned multiple points in two of his last three games, a sign his chemistry with his new teammates is starting to take hold. The 34-year-old has earned four of his five points this season on the power play, so he still has improvements to make at even strength. He's added 33 shots on net, 12 hits, six PIM and a minus-9 rating over 11 appearances while seeing time on the second line and first power-play unit.

Roman Josi - Two power-play points in win Josi scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Both of Josi's points came on the power play. He ended a four-game slump when he set up Steven Stamkos on the tying goal in the second period before scoring one of his own in the third. Through 11 contests, Josi has seven points (five on the power play), 49 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 12 hits and a minus-8 rating. He hasn't been immune from the Predators' overall struggles, but Josi has enough talent to right the ship while adding well-rounded production for fantasy managers.

Juuse Saros - Gets back in win column Saros stopped 28 of 30 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Saros put together a strong effort and got a season-high five goals of support from his Nashville teammates. The 29-year-old had lost his previous two starts, and this victory put him at 3-5-1 on the year. The Finn has a 2.92 GAA and a .900 save percentage over nine outings this season. Saros' slow start is mildly concerning for fantasy managers, but he continues to see a large workload that should give him plenty of chances to get back to his usual high-quality level of performance. The Predators' next game is Monday at home versus the Kings.
