Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Nabs helper in win
L'Heureux notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.
L'Heureux ended an eight-game point drought, which also saw him serve a three-game suspension for slew-footing in the middle of the slump. The 21-year-old has returned to a bottom-six role after often featuring on the second line prior to his suspension. The forward has produced 10 points, 45 shots on goal, 37 PIM and 119 hits over 38 appearances, bringing physicality to the Predators' lineup, though he has to avoid crossing the line after a lengthy suspension history in the junior and AHL ranks.

Predators' Adam Wilsby: Pockets assist Tuesday
Wilsby notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.
Wilsby has played on the third pairing over the last two games since he returned from missing seven contests due to an upper-body injury. The 24-year-old had established himself in the lineup prior to the injury and shouldn't have too much trouble keeping his place as long as he's healthy. He's at four points, 23 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, 13 hits and a plus-7 rating across 17 appearances.

Predators' Justin Barron: Pots goal Tuesday
Barron scored a goal on five shots, added two hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.
Barron brought the Predators within two goals in the second period, but his defensive mistakes were responsible for a couple of the Sharks' tallies. The 23-year-old Barron has scored twice over his last four contests and continues to see steady ice time, but he hasn't played very well in his own zone. Between Nashville and Montreal this season, the blueliner has three goals, 33 shots on net, 31 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 28 games.

Predators' Nick Blankenburg: Nets game-winner Tuesday
Blankenburg scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.
Blankenburg's third-period tally was the game-winner, which gave the Predators a lead in a game they once trailed 5-1. The defenseman has played fairly well with six points and a plus-8 rating over his last 13 appearances. For the season, that's all of his offense through 24 outings, and he's added 39 shots on net, 27 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating.

Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Launches comeback effort
Svechkov scored a power-play goal on four shots in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.
When Svechkov scored, it cut the Sharks' lead to 5-2, but it was the first of six straight goals for the Predators in a franchise-best comeback win. The 21-year-old has scored in each of the last two games, and he could benefit if Nashville keeps putting up big numbers -- they've scored 13 times over those contests. For the season, Svechkov has five goals, one assist, 25 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-2 rating over 17 appearances.

Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Records four points in comeback win
Marchessault recorded one goal and three assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.
Marchessault has been outstanding for the Predators in recent weeks and posted a season-high mark for scoring in a single game in this massive comeback win Tuesday. This four-point effort extended Marchessault's point streak to nine games, a span in which he's racked up two goals and 10 helpers, including five on the power play. The 34-year-old is up to 38 points (15 goals, 23 assists) in 46 games this season.

Predators' Filip Forsberg: Sizzling streak continues
Forsberg recorded a goal and two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.
Forsberg was coming off a four-point performance in the 6-2 win over the Wild and followed it up with three points in this comeback victory. He has four multi-point performances over his last six games and is currently riding an eight-game point streak. The star winger has 15 points (seven goals, eight assists) in that eight-game stretch.

Predators' Thomas Novak: Three points in win
Novak notched a goal and two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.
Novak cracked the scoresheet for the second game in a row, making it the first time he recorded points in at least two straight games since a three-game stretch between Dec. 10 and Dec. 14. It was also the first multi-point effort of the campaign for the 27-year-old, but these outputs aren't expected to become the norm for Novak especially considering his bottom-six role in the lineup.

Predators' Roman Josi: Keeps point streak alive
Josi recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.
Josi has been on a tear over the last two weeks and has extended his point streak to six games, tallying three multi-point efforts and nine total contributions (two goals, seven helpers) in that span. The veteran defenseman remains one of the most productive blueliners in the league and has 34 points (nine goals, 25 assists) in 42 appearances this season.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Earns win in relief
Annunen earned the win in relief Tuesday against the Sharks after allowing one goal on 16 shots.
Annunen entered the crease after Juuse Saros allowed four goals in the first period, and he was excellent the rest of the way to earn the win in relief in this goal fest. Annunen has been excellent over his last few games and has won four of his last six appearances, going 4-1-0 with a 2.62 GAA and a .910 save percentage in that span.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Pulled early Tuesday
Saros was pulled from Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks after allowing four goals on eight shots.
Saros struggled badly between the pipes and was lifted after allowing four goals in the first period. Justus Annunen earned the win in relief after faring much better, though one bad outing shouldn't affect Saros' role as the Predators' primary goaltender. That said, his numbers in the last few games have been trending in the wrong direction. Over his last five outings, Saros has gone 2-2-0 with a 3.42 GAA and a subpar .860 save percentage.

Predators' Cole Smith: Activated from IR
Smith (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
Smith should occupy a bottom-six role in Tuesday's matchup against San Jose after missing the last 11 games. He has compiled two goals, five points, 29 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 79 hits through 34 appearances this season. Smith will replace Mark Jankowski (upper body) in Tuesday's lineup.

Predators' Cole Smith: Might be available Tuesday
Head coach Andrew Brunette labeled Smith (lower body) as a game-time decision for Tuesday's home matchup against San Jose, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Smith has missed 11 consecutive games due to his injury -- he last suited up Dec. 21 versus the Kings. If the 29-year-old is able to return Tuesday, he'll likely slot in on the fourth line. The Minnesota native has chipped in two goals and three helpers through 34 appearances this season.

Predators' Juuse Saros: First off Tuesday
Saros will be between the pipes Tuesday versus the Sharks, per Emma Lingan of The Hockey News.
Saros will make his 36th appearance of the campaign Tuesday -- he owns an 11-18-6 record, .904 save percentage and 2.72 GAA. The Finnish netminder has allowed exactly two goals in back-to-back wins against the Blackhawks and Wild. The Sharks on the second half of a back-to-back -- they lost 6-3 to the Bruins on Monday.

Predators' Mark Jankowski: Deemed week-to-week
Jankowski (upper body) didn't practice Monday and is week-to-week, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.
Jankowski sustained the injury in Saturday's 6-2 win over Minnesota. He has three goals, eight points, 38 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and 23 hits across 37 appearances this season. Kieffer Bellows could replace Jankowski in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus San Jose if Cole Smith (lower body) isn't activated from injured reserve.

Predators' Cole Smith: Considered day-to-day
Head coach Andrew Brunette said Monday that Smith (lower body) is considered day-to-day, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Smith has been on injured reserve for nearly a month due to a lower-body injury, but he appears to be close to returning to game action. Brunette isn't yet sure whether Smith will be available for Tuesday's game against San Jose, but he said that if the 29-year-old can't return against the Sharks, he's unlikely to miss much more time.

Predators' Luke Schenn: Helper, fight in win
Schenn logged an assist, two hits and seven PIM in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Wild.
Schenn snapped an 11-game point drought when he helped out on a Colton Sissons tally in the first period. Schenn racked up 39 hits and 12 blocked shots during his scoring slump. His physicality is his calling card, but it may not overcome his total lack of offense in 2024-25. The defenseman has three points, 169 hits, 59 blocked shots, 36 PIM, 53 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 45 appearances in a bottom-four role.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Offers assist in win
McCarron provided an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Wild.
McCarron also won 16 of 20 faceoffs in a dominant performance at the dot. He saw 16:16 of ice time, which is tied for his second-highest total of a game this season. The helper snapped an eight-game slump for the 29-year-old forward, who also avoided getting involved in fight night after some bad blood from these two teams' game Dec. 31 spilled over into Saturday's contest. McCarron is up to six points, 34 shots on net, 77 hits, 46 PIM and a minus-15 rating through 37 appearances this season.
